Great article at Media Matters about the media's kid-glove handling of Rush Limbaugh, and how they have participated in the manhandling of Michael J. Fox.
Fox was interviewed by David Gregory today in a segment shown on
Countdown. It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch him, because damn it if he still LOOKS like Marty McFly. He's hardly aged a day since his mid-20's, and to see him so impaired, and to imagine how much it hurts to be the punching bag of a bunch of hate-filled right-wingers who don't give a rat's ass about human life or babies or anything else other than retaining Republican grasp on power is just heartbreaking. And
yes, Laura Bush, I'm talking to you, you heartless, cold bitch.
The minute this election is over and I no longer need to donate to candidates, I am writing a nice fat check to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Who's with me?
