I was channel surfing this morning, while laying in bed and came across The View. I usually don't watch that show, especially now that Rosie O'Donnell is on there but this morning something caught my eye. They were talking about some political ads that Michael J. Fox had done for two different people running for office. They showed one commercial in it's entirity and Michael J Fox's parkinsons disease was very obvious. He was supporting candidates that are in favor of stem cell research. Apparently Rush Limbaugh made comments that Michael was really playing it up for the camera (like he was intentionally exagerating his illness). Since then Limbaugh has issued an apology, but I thought it was a horrible comment to make. My grandfather has Parkinson's and I have seen it ravage him completely. I guess Mr. Limbaugh has had no personal experience in this area, so maybe he should consider keeping his mouth shut when he doesn't understand the facts.
