I didn’t know who [1] Linwood Barclay was, but I’m a huge fan of his now.

Barclay’s diagnosis of Rush’s problem with Michael J. Fox:

Now, I know this may offend those who suffer from this particular condition, and these individuals might not like it much when I suggest that a certain person with this diagnosis is exaggerating his symptoms, but I have to say, I think Rush Limbaugh is just pretending to be a dick.

It just keeps getting better after that …[2] read on!

WashPost Saletan’s [3] take on the poster child for hypocrisy, Rush:

Last year, Limbaugh, who used a tailbone defect to get out of the Vietnam War draft, accused a Democratic candidate of having served in Iraq “to pad the resume.” He charged veterans — including former senator Max Cleland (D-Ga.), who lost his legs and an arm in Vietnam — with trying “to hide their liberalism behind a military uniform . . . pretending to be something that they are not.” When war is just a television show, a uniform is just a costume. Liberalism is real; losing your limbs is a pretense.

A dope addict criticizing the the legitimate medications of a Parkinson’s Disease sufferer = hypocrisy.
