what a POS.
M J Fox for showing his illness to help get support for his cause or Rush for mentioning it?

Before you get start swinging.... I always liked M J Fox and even though I am a Republican, I am all for stem cell research. I like Rush also, but I rarely listen to him (75% of the time my opinion is the same as his). It is pretty common knowledge that for periods of time, many with Parkinson's can temporarily somewhat control their tremors. Obviously Fox chose to show his symptoms on the commercial. I would have also. So what if Rush mentioned it?
