Fox: Not off medicine in political ads

[one...two...tree 2,762]

It appeared to me that he was "acting" when I saw the video.......

Does anyone ever tire of these HS dropouts using their celebrity to assert their politics?

Jeesh!

I tire of community college dropouts who are radio talk shows with political influence

There are 20 million people that disagree with you on that one.

As Fox proves – the lack of a completed high school education does not necessarily constitute a barrier to success. Albert Einstein I believe (though correct me if I’m wrong) would be another example.

and look at some of the chopf##ks who have college degrees and the decisions they make ////

[GaryC 7]

The crowd grows restless and silence fills the auditorium. They are witnessing a cowardly attack in the middle of the ring. While Michael J Fox had the mic and was speaking to the crowd, he was ambushed from behind by Gary and Rush Limbaugh.

Rush moved slowly to the ring, taking minutes to climb up the side....weighed down by years of neglect and abuse to his body, he is quite large....perhaps it is not a surprise that he is large given how big his mouth is. The crowd realizes the ultimate irony of this slow man being named Rush. Eventually as Rush enters the ring, he sees MJ Fox noticeably shaking and trying to keep his focus. What a perfect opportunity to knock someone down. Rush knows he is not in the A league so he goes after the physically weak to make himself look stronger. A big smile cuts across Rush's face as he picks up a steel chair and hits MJ Fox in the back of the head. Victorious he proclaims "Now you've got something to complain about. You see....that's the real thing and not acting. I'm the one who really knows about pain around here, and not because I'm a pain in the azz...oh no! Because I use Vicodin....and let me tell you it really hurt when I said Donovan McNabb was only getting publicity because he is a black quarterback. After that incident I really felt pain for what I said. When I apologized it was not acting.....but you MJ Fox with your shaking and whatnot are dispicable! You want a cure? Well then pray harder! It works for the gays. And see....there is proof you were acting. After I knocked you out with this chair you stopped shaking."

Seeing that MJ Fox was already knocked out and on the ground, Gary felt ok to come out from behind the curtain and make his way to the ring. He takes the mic as the crowd boos and says: "MJ Fox deserved what he got. Once he went off of his medication in front of Congress to demonstrate the effects of Parkinson's. He did this for effect! He actually wanted to show people how horrific this disease is without the benefit of treatment or possibility of a cure. He exposed the true nature of the disease hoping to get more funding to cure it. What an azzhole. He should be highly subdued and drugged at all times and maybe then I'd listen." After berating the fallen MJ Fox, Gary proceeds to kick him while he is down....laughing and mocking him.

And then it happens.

The lights go out and a lone spotlight shines up the ramp and the music starts. Could it be? Yes! It's the Nature Boy Ric Flair - 22 time champion of the what? world. He is the dirtiest player in the game and after all this time he is still the man. The man has accomplished so much....nobel peace prize winner and mayor of O-Town. He also owns and operates Space Mountain. He is a true legend.

The crowd errupts as Flair runs down the ring and jumps in. Rush, takes 60 seconds to turn his large frame. When you're that big you are surprised quite often. Finally after turning around, Rush is face to face with Ric Flair. Ric offers a handshake and Rush is delighted.....he looks like someone just gave him a year pass to the China Buffet. As Rush goes for the handshake, Ric takes his hand back, gives a Wooooo! and does the Flair strut. Rush is stunned and his mouth starts to close. He has never seen greatness like this before. As his lips come together, Ric Flair unwinds and delivers a chop so devastating that Rush's body starts shaking uncontrollably. His body is not used to this much activity and becomes rapidly worn out. The anguish is almost too much to bear. Just then, Ric pulls out a bottle of Vicodin. This will solve Rush's shaking problem. Good thing for Rush that someone saw the needs of pain patients and invested the money to produce this drug. Ric holds the bottle in front of Rush and then throws it out into the crowd. Woooooo! A chop from Ric Flair, now there is something to shake about. Woooooo!

Flair takes off his Armani tie and shirt, kicks off the shoes and bounces off the ropes. Gary, who had been doing what we all expected, was hiding beneath the ring. As Flair came off the ropes, Gary does what he does best, gets in a cheap shot and trips Ric Flair. Gary runs into the ring and starts to taunt the Nature Boy. Gary runs to go off the ropes but quickly runs out of breath. You see, Gary had been a smoker and failed to quit due to a side effect of medication. Wooooo! If only someone had done some more research and investing into a better medication, perhaps he would have a better solution. Thoughts go through Gary's head about testifying in front of Congress to show the dangers of this medication. He would take it and make a video of his actions and show it to Congress for effect so they could see first hand. But alas, that day will never come, because he messed with Ric Flair.

Gary, gasping for air, slowly makes his way to Flair. Ric gets up, kicks him in the balls and delivers a devastating chop. Ric chops Gary so hard that Rush stops shaking out of pity. It turns out Rush was acting all along. Rush rolls his large frame out of the ring and leaves his biggest fan, Gary alone. Sadly, this was expected as Rush always looks out for himself and lets others go to bat for him. Gary is alone in the ring with Flair. Thoroughly defeated, Gary offers his eternal allegiance to the Nature Boy.

And then it happens.

MJ Fox hits Gary in the back of the head with the ring bell. MJ Fox, throws away his medication and puts Gary in a bear hug. Gary has found out just how devastating those shakes can be without the meds. Gary yells out in pain.....and that ain't acting.

Winner - Ric Flair and MJ Fox.

Wooooooo!

And then Gary gets out his uzi and puts 50 rounds into Rick Flairs head. What? No effect! Why? No brains!! So then Gary gets out his bazzoka and blows Rick Flair into a million pieces. So much for Rick Flair!

Gone forever! Good bye!

Ric Flair and the truth hurt.

You can go ahead and put down your weapons of little destruction. This is Flair country and to be the man you've got to beat the man.

Ric Flair has more titles that you have synapses.

Flair 3:16 means you just got chopped

Woooooooo!

There are 20 million people that disagree with you on that one.

There are actually less than 5 million, according to radio listernship data, that tune into the Rush Limbaugh show -- 20 million is a stretch

Anyways this is what William J. Weiner M.D., professor and chairman of the department of neurology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and an actual Parkinsons expert (i.e. not a celebrity, community college dropout, or right wing airbag) said:

What you are seeing on the video is side effects of the medication. He has to take that medication to sit there and talk to you like that. ... He's not over-dramatizing. ... [Limbaugh] is revealing his ignorance of Parkinson's disease, because people with Parkinson's don't look like that at all when they're not taking their medication. They look stiff, and frozen, and don't move at all. ... People with Parkinson's, when they've had the disease for awhile, are in this bind, where if they don't take any medication, they can be stiff and hardly able to talk. And if they do take their medication, so they can talk, they get all of this movement, like what you see in the ad.

Also

Weiner also pointed out something else: Fox was actually being commendably nuanced in the ad. The actor could have said stem cells will lead to a Parkinson's cure, but he said merely that it gives patients hope -- which is accurate.

I know facts cn be quite troublesome to partisan bickering but there you are

EGADS, when I worked Tech Support for Intuit...in the training THE people that asked (basically) the same question OVER AND OVER AND OVER were the ones with formal computer training.

Those of us who had practical, hands-on "training" with computers and/or software sat there and asked "did you not just ask that question?"

Background:

In Quickbooks 2000, the employee/customer/vendor menus are (mostly) IDENTICAL...these repeat questions were asked under EACH of those menus!

GO RUSH!

I can see why Rush has such a certain appeal for ignorant "anti-americans".
