Everyone knows Rush Limbaugh's just faking

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.While the right-wing radio host does exhibit most, if not all, of the common characteristics of this behaviour, it's so rare for all of them to coalesce at a single moment that one can only conclude Limbaugh's most recent performances are nothing short of fraudulent.I'm no expert diagnostician, but nobody could be this big a one.

Limbaugh must be acting.

Consider what Rush Limbaugh said this week about Michael J. Fox.The Canadian-born actor did an ad for a U.S. politician who supports stem cell research, a controversial field that many believe could lead to a cure for Parkinson's disease. Fox suffers from Parkinson's, and anyone who has seen him in television interviews in the last few years is aware of his symptoms. Awkward, involuntary movements, occasional speech difficulty, tremors. Those symptoms are much in evidence in the ad.Said Limbaugh on his radio show: "He is exaggerating the effects of the disease.

He's moving all around and shaking and it's clearly an act." Limbaugh also suggested Fox probably went off his medication before filming the ad.It's difficult to imagine that anyone could say anything so amazingly uninformed, so incredibly moronic, and actually believe it.

That's why I'm so convinced Limbaugh was acting. At this point, it's probably useful to review the most common symptoms exhibited by a person with EDS (extreme dick syndrome) for those not up to speed on them:

1. Exhibits a level of arrogance rooted in a feeling of superiority, without having any attributes to feel superior about.

2. Is capable of achieving levels of hypocrisy (railing against drug addicts when you are one, for example) previously thought unattainable.

1. 'Fraid Not! Limbaugh Will Die of His Condition, Poor Man

Rush, I'm so sorry you're a dick. Someday, we'll find a cure; but in the meanwhile, would you consider donating your brain to science? We'll just pop it off your body--no need to die first!

You aren't using it anyway, after all....

2. I don't believe that Limbaugh is working a 12 step program.

Remember that Rush is addicted to pain killers. If he's not working a 12 step program that automatically requires soul searching, blunt honesty and humbleness to a higher power, then WHAT PROGRAM is Limbaugh working?

I would not be surprised in the least that Limbaugh is still *using.* That is, his behavior does not seem to coincide in any way to someone who is in "drug addiction recovery." :shrug:
