    Had he still been doing the show? Until how recently?

    I’ve watched a lung cancer death and they’re not that pretty

    I listened to him a couple of weeks ago.

    No, Rush was bombastic, but he was not a nutter. He wasn't 100% right, but he helped restart the Conservative movement and molded it for many years.

    And most people who actually knew him, said he was not loud or brash in person.

    I enjoyed listening to him.

        Fox admitted to not taking his meds to exaggerate the symptoms of his Parkinson's disease in the hope of encouraging stem cell research.

        So yeah, Rush was right on that one, at least.

        I had made a deliberate choice to appear before the subcommittee without medication. It seemed to me that this occasion demanded that my testimony about the effects of the disease, and the urgency we as a community were feeling, be seen as well as heard. For people who had never observed me in this kind of shape, the transformation must have been startling.

          Not sure the first paragraph is honest. The next two, well, four hours a day, and I don't know what MJF was saying at the time. We should ask Larry about the Indians but he was already driven off by the liberals who don't like him.

              Oh, do fuck off. Honestly, Larry doled out way more vitriol than anything he received from me and "all the liberals" here.

                    Won't and can't. I don't know the context, and I'm too lazy to look it up. You can form and keep your own opinions on those. I don't have any.

                    I do, however, recall the MJF stuff.

                    And, by the way, how did all that embryonic stem cell stuff work out, almost 20 years later?

                        Won't and can't. I don't know the context, and I'm too lazy to look it up. You can form and keep your own opinions on those. I don't have any.

                        I do, however, recall the MJF stuff.

                        And, by the way, how did all that embryonic stem cell stuff work out, almost 20 years later?

                                A lack of self awareness. Not a lack of decency, which I fully believe you have. I think you absolutely would not have had an identical reaction to Larry if you thought he was African American. You would have donned the kid gloves.

                                      Fox testified in Congress opposing the Bush administrations ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. Note, there was no "ban" on this research; it was a ban of federal funding for it. For his testimony, advocating more funds for embryonic stem cell research, he stopped his medications to exaggerate the ravages of his Parkinson's disease. It was theater.

                                      Almost 20 years later, has ESC research made any progress in the treatment of Parkinson's?

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        What exactly did I say to Larry that upset you so?

                                        I honestly don't think I said anything particularly unpleasant.

                                        I can't think of anything. I am only sad that he left.

                                        I'm sad he left, too.

                                        But, if you're going to dish it out as much as he did, I think you do have to be prepared to take a little back.

                                        I was only joking

                                          I have no idea what that refers to at all.

                                          Fox testified in Congress opposing the Bush administrations ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. Note, there was no "ban" on this research; it was a ban of federal funding for it. For his testimony, advocating more funds for embryonic stem cell research, he stopped his medications to exaggerate the ravages of his Parkinson's disease. It was theater.

                                          Almost 20 years later, has ESC research made any progress in the treatment of Parkinson's?

                                          Presumably, the idea was that if embryonic research stopped, abortions would stop.

                                          How's that working out?
