Calling foul

Rush Limbaugh can join his fellow teammates Mel Gibson, Kevin Federline and my ex-husband in the Jackass Corner.

Yesterday, Limbaugh accused Michael J. Fox of faking his Parkinson's disease in an effort to promote stem cell research. His comments were absolutely despicable.

First of all, Michael J. Fox is not faking his Parkinson's. But if faking Parkinson's and using your celebrity influence could change the conservative stance on stem cell research, I might get on board with the hoax. I find the republican-imposed ban on stem cell research nearly as despicable as Limbaugh's comments.

Second, I don't think Limbaugh - with all his skeletons spilling out of the closet - ought to be spewing his ridiculous opinions across the air. Something about glass houses and stones has put a pretty big dent in his credibility and judgment.
