Sean Hannity — who cries himself to sleep every night thinking about cruel doctors who murder precious stem cells — is defending an attack by Rush Limbaugh against Michael J. Fox claiming that he was acting more disabled than he really is in a political ad.
“Michael J. Fox admits now that he stopped taking his medication prior to testifying before Congress,” Hannity said. “You have a right to speak up, but he also has a right to be criticized.”
Fox cut a highly emotional spot for several Democratic candidates, including Missouri’s Senate candidate Claire McCaskill.
Limbaugh questioned whether Fox’s very real physical tremors had been faked.
“In this commercial, he is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He is moving all around and shaking. And it’s purely an act,” Limbaugh said.

TNR covered the Limbaugh attack on Fox. Interestingly enough, they interviewed a doctor who says that the agitation is a side affect of the meds, not a symptom of the disease.
If so, admitting he stopped taking the meds means that his involuntary movements were LESS on the show than they would have been. Not more.
