Shocking Michael J. Fox Ad in MO Senate Race

    January, 2003, Clooney getting an award from the National Board of Reviews, said, "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's."

    When asked about the remark, he gave the NRA defense, that Heston is fair game since he's in the political arena.

    My only comment is that Michael J. Fox should also be fair game, at least to be questioned about his motivations.

    Uhh, Scribe, Fenian is commenting on Jack's sourcing, there.

    Whoever reads the posts to you is leaving out parts.

    I want to know what in the Wiki article you are interpreting as a "religious basis for believing in a flat earth."

    Motivations like being sick and wanting to be cured? That DEVIL!

    Gee Fenian, you've never heard of this anecdote before? And I thought you were so enthralled with Wikipedia. Here's an excerpt of the Wikipedia listing on Clloney:

    "Along with his public criticisms of Jack Abramoff and other Republicans, Clooney once remarked, "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's." When asked if he went too far with his comment, he said, "I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him." (quote, response from Heston)."

    Here's the link too. I know you have to have that link, because otherwise, I probably just made up that paragraph, mean conservative troll that I am.

    Does George Clooney have Parkinson's?

    I'm confused.

    And I am merely commenting on Wikipedia in general, not who originally brought it into the discussion. Maybe your reader is leaving out parts of what I am posting when they read it to you Zeke.

    Wait, weren't you just mocking Wikipedia, like, three posts ago?

    Now you're using it to try and prove a point?

    Buddy, you need some help here.

    Explain to all of us, Scribe, how you can say this, turn a blind eye toward fertility clinics, where the disposal of embryos happens far, far more commonly, and convince yourself you're not as big a hypocrite as the current occupant of the White House.

    And while you're straining to perform that logistical limbo, please give us a credible source on the bolded sentence above.

    We're waiting.....

    No kidding. The point is, why is it unfair to criticize Fox over Parkinson's but perfect okay to ridicule Heston because he has a devastating disease?

    If he comes back with a Wikipedia page, I might shit myself.
