Who's acting now: Limbaugh diagnosed with Parkinson's

Just kidding.

Besides shaking, shuffling and festination*, PD symptoms and effects include (but are not limited to) drooling, inability to successfully swallow (leading to aspiration pneumonia, and eventually death; the alternative being a food tube inserted into the stomach), depression, anxiety, difficulty with orientation and attention, difficulty with impulse control, memory loss, dementia, dizziness, fainting, and incontinence.

But Michael J. Fox was obviously exaggerating.

I'll bet GOP legislators are already drafting a letter thanking Rush for the great boost he's given their candidates in Thursday's elections!

* Festination: a combination of stooped posture, imbalance, and short steps. It leads to a gait that gets progressively faster and faster, often ending in a fall. -Wikipedia

I bet Mallory is mad, too. I always hated the episodes when Mallory got mad. Anger is not one of Justine Bateman's stronger emotions as an actress...
