Michael J Fox

Michael J Fox appears on tv, but this time is different. Apparently he has Parkinson's Disease. I don't know much about Parkinson's, but the clip made me feel respect for Michael J Fox. He looks like he's been pretty badly hit by the disease; I didn't know he had Parkinson's and at the very start of the interview you're thinking "What's going on?" because the interviewer doesn't say anything and mjf is trembling a bit. It looks pretty humiliating to let the public see you like that, but he's trying to stand up to it. The interviewer mentions a cheap shot from Rush Limbaugh because Fox was doing pro-Democrat commercials; Limbaugh said he thought maybe Fox had not taken his medication in order to be more obviously suffering on the ads, so that he would get more public sympathy. Sounds like you just don't get an easy ride from everybody no matter what.
