"made cruel sport over the stature of Robert Reich whose diminutive stature was the result of childhood disease"

This is the first I have heard of Reich's "childhood disease," and Rush was probably unaware of it as well. Of course, Mr. Reno has no qualms making cruel sport over Rush's genetically-inherited hearing loss. This article is full of projection, the work of a man who does not understand himself very well.

And notice he doesn't identify what the disease was? Mighty suspicious to me.
