Ad nauseam
Right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh made headlines this week when he accused actor Michael J. Fox of “acting” to make his Parkinson’s Disease look worse in this commercial. (We’ll chalk the fact up that it’s just sort of a tasteless thing to say up to the fact that it’s Limbaugh and move on.)
Fox has made a number of ads about stem cells in support of a number of Democratic senatorial candidates—including Mary McCaskill in Missouri who supports a state amendments barring legislative interference with federal embryonic stem-cell research.
The right fired back with this (you need to click on the video icon)—it’s a counter-ad featuring disease experts and medical luminaries like St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan, Kansas City Royal Mike Sweeney, former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, actress Patricia Heaton and the guy who played Jesus in that Mel Gibson movie. It was suppose to air during the World Series game last night, which was cancelled because of rain.
One has to wonder what Limbaugh’s reaction to this second ad will be.
Surely one can argue these folks are “acting”—they're acting like they know what the hell they’re talking about.

Hello,
Wanna peel the skin off the modern Tory party and look at what's REALLY going on under all that grey, wrinkled flesh? Then go to: www.torycarpetbaggers.blogspot.com - a new blog that over the coming weeks will reveal how we (two hacks writing under the pseudonyms of Urquhart and Trollope) 'infiltrated' the Tory machine during the 2005 general election in order to find out just how nasty the 'nasty party' is/was/was not/can be.
Unlike the Iron Lady, despite being trad Labour supporters, we certainly were 'for changing' - if only to give Tony Blair and his cronies 'a bloody nose' at the ballot box.
However, our experiences on the campaign trail in Richmond, southwest London (one of the whitest, wealthiest, WASPish constituencies in Britain) suggest that Mel Brooks is more likely to open a Kosher deli in Baghdad than the Tories are to widening their appeal. With a membership that is literally dying out (the average Tory has lived through at least one major war fought entirely on horseback), the youthful vigor of Diddy Dave Cameron et al is nothing more than a sticking plaster on a Gibraltar size lump of haemorrhoids.
The results of our research is earth shattering and will send shockwaves through the corridors of Westminster - which is why after careful consideration and legal examination it's taken so long for us to finally publish this political time bomb (a libel writ can leave a nasty taste in the wallet, don'tcha know?).
But journeying into the dark heart of a local Conservative Party association is not for the faint-hearted. We ran the constant risk of exposure; and as openly ex-Labour supporters, were under daily scrutiny. We had to campaign with all our hearts and minds to avoid any breaches of electoral rules. We had to live, breathe, eat, sleep and s**t as Tories. Indeed, we NEVER set out to scupper the Tory campaign, merely to observe it as authentic supporters.
It sounds impossible, ridiculous even, but it's 100% TRUE!
As a result of our 'deepcover,' in order to protect our indentities in an increasingly politicised media, we have chosen to maintain our anonymity, in a sort of 'Primary Colours' type way. (Well, given the third rate state of the Tory party, let's say it's more of a 'Tertiary Colours' type way...)
So forget the circus of celebrity politics and log on to: www.torycarpetbaggers.blogspot.com for a refreshingly honest expose of life inside a REAL Tory campaign machine.
Rgds,
Urquhart and Trollope
