Following last week’s election when the Republicans shit the bed….
Oh Rush, if only you were a fraction as cool as the band that shares your name.
Rush Limbaugh is one of those assholes that thinks he’s ALWAYS right and that his opinion is the ONLY opinion. Just look at the names of his books, “The Way Things Ought To Be” and “See, I Told You So”.
In the past he has made many outlandish and uneducated claims, such as stating that volcanoes do more harm to the ozone layer than human-produced chemicals, that 50% of people would abort their babies if they knew it had the “gay gene”, and that black quarterbacks can’t make it in the NFL. But his recent statements toward Michael J. Fox are probably the most fugaze to date.
On the October 23, 2006 edition of Limbaugh’s radio show, referring to a political campaign ad Michael J. Fox appeared in for a candidate who supports stem cell research, Limbaugh imitated the physical symptoms of Fox’s Parkinson’s disease and stated that “He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act…. This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.”
Fox came to his own defence stating, “The symptoms that I had in the ad that I did, that’s called dyskinesia, and that’s actually from too much medication. So take that you dick!” (Ok, I threw in that last part myself)
Rush then issued an “apology” and immediately took the stance that Fox had taken too much medication on purpose. Fox quickly pointed out that his medication is quite complicated, and that calibrating the dosage “for effect” is essentially impossible.
So for all your efforts, Rush, you are officially November’s FUGAZE OF THE MONTH! Cogratulations, you beat out K-Fed.
And would you put down that fucking cigar for fuck’s sakes?!?
