I never used the word. But I was wrong. He did take his medications. Now he took too much medication. <\/line><BR\/>The point is, he did something differently to appear in this ad than when he appears on Boston Legal. And that was my first human reaction. &#8220;Whoa! I\u2019ve never seen this. I have not seen this before.&#8221; Now I gather, from the past three days, that we are to believe that this is the normal condition that poor Mr. Fox has to live with each and every day. That\u2019s the impression that they\u2019re leaving, is it not? That this is how his life is now, but he himself said he took too much medication. He didn\u2019t do that when he went on Boston Legal, but it happened for the taping of this ad. I think the reason for that is so you would really, really hate Republicans, because Republicans don\u2019t want to cure it. Jim Talent doesn\u2019t care. Michael Steele doesn\u2019t care. No one in the Republican Party cares. They don\u2019t want to cure these things. They\u2019re happy, in fact, to see people suffer like Mr. Fox is in this ad.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Let\u2019s go to the phones, people have been patiently waiting. We\u2019ll start in Cleveland. This is Bruce. Nice to have you on the program, sir, hi.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Good afternoon. I listen to you every day, and so does my wife. And something caught my ear just a little a while ago, you were a little incredulous about Michael J. Fox saying that too much medication may cause Parkinson\u2019s symptoms?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I wasn\u2019t incredulous about that aspect of it.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: This is how this stuff gets started.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: No, it just caught my ear and so I called in. My wife has Parkinson\u2019s plus, and it\u2019s a more virulent form of Parkinson\u2019s, and it\u2019s quite &#8212; it\u2019s terminal, as a matter of fact, but a lot of people don\u2019t understand what it is and so I just thought I\u2019d pass some information along like &#8212; it all has to do with dopamine, and &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, now, wait. We\u2019ve been through this. I\u2019m sorry, I don\u2019t mean to cut you short here, but the shortage of dopamine, or the absence of it, I know is one of the problems. What were you going to talk about medication-wise? That\u2019s what I thought you were going to talk about.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay, the medication that they use, if you use too much of it, it\u2019s toxic, and it does cause tremors.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: By itself. <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: And if you use too little, what happens?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: It\u2019s the same thing.<\/line><BR\/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a9WB_PXjTBo\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/correcting_the_record_2.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"199\" height=\"155\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a>RUSH: Okay, well, I think I mentioned this yesterday. I\u2019m being inundated with e-mails from doctors and neurosurgeons and a number of people, and I don\u2019t often share e-mails because anybody can write and claim to be anybody and anything. So these e-mails run the gamut. But I\u2019m hearing what you have said, too much medication, and Michael Fox admitted that he had too much medication when he shot the ad. <\/line><BR\/>All I know is that the way he appears in the ad, I\u2019ve never seen him anywhere else. In fact, when he went up to do the public appearance for Tammy Duckworth he didn\u2019t appear that way with her as he does in the ads. We observe what we observe, ladies and gentlemen. And as I said mere moments ago, and I will happily repeat it, I apologize for saying he didn\u2019t take his meds. Instead, he took too much medication. But he didn\u2019t do this when he went on Boston Legal, and he didn\u2019t do this when he was with Tammy Duckworth earlier this week on a public appearance fund-raiser.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/windowsmedia\/en\/download\/default.asp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/correcting_the_record_2.Par.0005.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"18\" class=\"alignleft\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to make an apology here.
