If he was serious he would to create a foundation like Christopher Reeves or Jerry Lewis and get private funds for research. But then again he is still a tool....

Fox Responds To Limbaugh's Accusations
(CBS News) Responding to criticism by conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh, actor Michael J. Fox defended his appearance in a political campaign ad, saying he wasn't acting or off his medication.
In fact, at the time he was over-medicated for his Parkinson's disease, Fox said in an exclusive interview with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric.
"The irony is that I was too medicated, I was dyskinesic," Fox told Couric. "Because the thing about, the thing about being symptomatic is that it's not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic; it's like being hit with a hammer."
His body visibly wracked by tremors, Fox appears in a political ad that prompted Limbaugh to speculate that Fox was "either off his medication or acting."
Fox told Couric, "At this point now, if I didn't take medication I wouldn't be able to speak."
He said that he appeared in the ad only to advance his cause, and that, "Disease is a non-partisan problem that requires a bi-partisan solution."
"You know what, I don't really care about politics," Fox said. "We want to appeal to voters to elect the people that are going to give us a margin, so we can't be vetoed again."

He goes on the show with the lowest ratings...lol.
Don't worry, he will be interviewed on all the lib networks. His picture will probably be for the cover story on Time and Newsweek too.
Yeah lets just forget the lie that you told people to confuse them on stem cell vs. embryonic stem cell research.
Because he deliberately neglected to take his meds in a vain attempt for votes...
There - fixed it..
Interesting little tidbit. Anyone who contracts parkinsons under 40 years old. One is to suspect MDMA ecstacy use. He was very young with a lot of money. I wonder if he liked drugs???
Frankly, I don't believe this little 'RAT weasel.
So the story is - hey! he wasn't under-medicated, he was over-medicated for added effect? I'm sorry for the guy but he's just lost all likeability from me.
What a bobble head doll idiot. Bottom line beyond the BS, its about abortion.
If he was serious he would to create a foundation like Christopher Reeves or Jerry Lewis and get private funds for research. But then again he is still a tool....
Didn't Cordin (one of the people he's advertising for) vote against embryonic stem cell research?
He also goes to Katie because her regular audience has the lowest IQ and might actually buy his explanation.
So he wasn't off....He was chemically impaired...
Ann Coulter was right.
Ah yes, an hour with Larry King is likely scheduled.
Here is the paragraph with that quote...and it has nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh.
"The irony is that I was too medicated, I was dyskinesic," Fox told Couric. "Because the thing about, the thing about being symptomatic is that it's not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic; it's like being hit with a hammer."
Come on people....let's not be like the DBM.
I liked him better when he wore a suit and had a picture of RR on his nightstand.
You might forget about that now that you have made it a partisan issue by lying about Jim Talent and lying about the ballot issue on cloning (NOT STEM CELL RESEARCH) in MO and lying about other Republican's positions on "stem-cell" research.
