i guess i have to spell everything out for you Bush haters...
MJF has admitted in his own writing, and ON VIDEO that he willfully manipulates the manifestations of his disease, to use his own words, for "theatrical" reasons.
If he is willing to forgo his medications on one occasion, for theatrical reasons, what makes you believe he would not use an excess of medications for the same purpose?
Ohhhh..I can here the wailing already..heartless surgeon is claiming MJF took extra medications on purpose!! What a heartless surgeon..
Well, in for a penny, in for a pound...if he's admitted withholding medication to make his case, why wouldn't you believe that he would take an excess amount for the same purpose. I have personally seen patients who have taken excess medication on purpose, to get side effects. Twisted yes, but that's the reality of it.
All I can say for sure,is that the DAY AFTER he ran those ads, he appeared on the CBS affiliate in Chicago, walked through a crowded room, shook lots of hands, and didn't look anything he did on those political attack ads. He wasn't writhing around, he didn't show all those involuntary movements.
Its utterly clear, from his own words and actions, that he has manipulated his symptoms to suit a political agenda.
Rush is just calling him out on it (plus the endless prevarications in Fox's attack ad).
