Rush, Rush, Rush... Words Have Consequences Dude...
North Texans Outraged Over Limbaugh Remarks
By DEBBIE DENMON / WFAA-TV

<snip>

PLANO - Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to controversy. But his comments about Michael J. Fox have some North Texans fuming.

Gayle Kirby is the treasurer of the Dallas-area Parkinsonism Group. "Rush Limbaugh doesn't know his oxycontin from a hole in the wall," Kirby said. "What a bunch of crap."

Kirby spent most of Wednesday reading e-mails responding to Limbaugh's comments. She also spent time in a web chatroom to tell Limbaugh his accusations about Fox were wrong. "What I said before is, it's like saying a person with cancer is faking it because they lost their hair," Kirby said. "There's no logic to it."

For the last six years, Kirby has watched her husband, Kevin, suffer from Parkinson's. His tremors and twitches are not as severe as Fox's. Kirby emailed everyone she knows to boycott advertisers of the Limbaugh show, and she took it a step further.

"We've been Republicans, dyed in the wool, forever, and we didn't vote Republican at all this time," Kirby said.

1. unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case for him.
This will all go away for him eventually. Hell, even if he paves the way for people to vote against Republicans, he'll still win.

3. I don't know that it will go away. The Oxycontin hasn't gone away, the
Viagra hasn't gone away and the MJF comments won't go away.

He's living on borrowed time, courtesy of Clear Channel demanding his show be syndicated.

Eventually, he will become irrelevant, because, rather than speak his heart, he sold his soul. MKJ

4. Thank you for this most excellent "cartoon", PDittie. This Rush
cretin is messing with Superman and Marty McFly, two much beloved American icons, isn't he?
I'm sendin' this around - thanks.
Very sad, isn't it.

5. Poor oxymoron has really fucked himself over this time...
I think the worst part was him imitating poor Mr. Fox's symptoms. That is like me playing deaf while talking about Rush.
