Diana DeGette fights for Michael J. Fox

In the left corner, CD1 Democratic representative Diana DeGette and Michael J. Fox. In the right corner, Rush Limbaugh. From today's press release from DeGette:

"By attacking someone suffering from Parkinson's disease Rush Limbaugh has reached a new low, and that's saying a lot... Parkinson's is a severely debilitating disease that robs it's victims of their motor functions. Embryonic stem cell research could hold the key to curing this and other debilitating diseases. Michael J. Fox should be applauded for speaking out on this important and life saving research, not ridiculed. Rush Limbaugh should beg the forgiveness of Michael J. Fox and the millions of Americans and their families who suffer though this disease every day."

I have always suspected that Limbaugh is a despicable person. I also suspect that Tom Tancredo is a racist, George W. Bush is an idiot, and Dick Cheney is the Penguin from the Batman comics. The first of these suspicions has been confirmed. We should all be glad Fox is out there fighting for us. And we should all be glad a Colorado representative is leading the charge for stem cell research.

Ask Allard, Salazar to help DeGette wake up Bush

The U.S. Senate is beginning debate on CD1 Democratic representative Diana DeGette's bill to expand funding for stem cell research. Make sure to contact Senators Allard and Salazar and tell them to vote for the bill.

Why go to the trouble when our theocrat-in-chief has threatened to use his first-ever veto on the bill? Because you owe it to DeGette, for standing up to Bush. You owe it to the 70% of Americans who support her bill. And you owe it to all those who are fighting diseases like Parkinsons, paralysis and diabetes.

Bush is hiding from reality. Let's make sure it finds him.
