Faking It

I didn’t know who 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 …read on!

WashPost Saletan’s 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.

Unmitigated Gall

Under fire for his role in “FoleyGate”, the head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Tom Reynolds attempts to shield himself from media scrutiny by hiding behind children. Attending a press conference at a daycare facility with the children and their accompanying parents, some who are Republican officials, Reynolds used the children’s presence to shield him from questions from the press corps.on Foley’s lewd behavior and Reynolds role in the affair. The media asked the congressman to send the kids away so that mature subjects could be discussed, but Reynolds denied their requests. Seeing the ploy for what it was, the press was incensed.
