The non-apology apology: Rush Limbaugh.

Michael J. Fox, who has pretty severe Parkinsons, campaigns for both Democrats and Republicans who support stem-cell research. Recently, he did a commercial for a Democrat, in which he had highly visible tremors. Rush Limbaugh, caterer-to-the-easily-convinced, accuses Fox of faking his condition (or purposefully going off medication). Lots of people apparently point out to Mr. Limbaugh that he's a misguided pretard.

So he pseudo-apologizes:

So I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act, especially since people are telling me they have seen him this way on other interviews and in other television appearances.


What a fuckhead. "Bigly, hugely?" Talk about ego. That removes any semblance of sincerity right there. And the whole "if I am wrong" thing means, of course, that there's no apology here.

HEY, CONSERVATIVES!! HOW CAN YOU LET THIS GUY REPRESENT YOU?

My God.

Love to all. Even you, the Prius driver who took that turn WAY too fast.

1- The only thing big and huge in this equation is Limbaugh's fat head.

2- A Prius only gets good mileage if you drive it right. Taking turns fast cuts into your mpg in a big way. Some folks just don't get it, even when the giant LCD screen TELLS them they are f-ing up their mpg!

Funny, I was going to write about this, too. Basically you and I share the same sentiments about that moron.
