OxyContin Man makes silly talk
Monday admitted drug addict Rush Limbaugh attacked a political ad in which Michael J. Fox (who has Parkinson's disease) supports stem cell research and candidates who support the same. Limbaugh, who entered a drug recovery center in 2003 because he mistook piles of OxyContin and hydrocodone for Tic-Tacs, said “that Fox was “either off his medication or acting” while filming the commercial.
Sounds like someone’s been out of the spotlight too long. When was the last time anyone cared what this knucklehead had to say. I’ll tell you when. It was 2003, just a couple of months before Limbaugh was outed as a victim of prescription drugs jumping down his throat, when he said that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was “barely a mediocre quarterback” but everyone in the media was afraid to say it because “what we have here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback can do well—black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well.”
Well, last Sunday McNabb threw for 302 yards with 3 touchdowns and three interceptions... making him pretty darn mediocre. So, suck it Limbaugh!
Look, the point is not whether McNabb blows or not, it’s that Limbaugh crafts these statements to get people riled – and they are always statements that he doesn’t have to back up with facts.
Fox was “either off his medication or acting.”
“The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback can do well.”
What the hell is that? You can’t prove or disprove either of those statements. They are just out there to piss people off. Limbaugh later justified his statements about Fox by saying, “I have gotten a plethora of e-mails from people saying Michael J. Fox has admitted in interviews that he goes off his medication for Parkinson's disease when he appears before Congress or other groups as a means of illustrating the ravages of the disease.”
You see it, right? He’s not saying this. People who emailed him said it. Limbaugh’s just repeating it. Just like when he repeatedly took all those pretty little pills.
Look, Limbaugh has always been - and is now more than ever - a pathetic, small man in desperate need of attention.
You know that if you don’t feed a mouse for a couple of days it dies. Same thing here. Let’s turn away from the mics and cameras for a couple of days and see what happens to Limbaugh.
