Michael J. Fox to attend State of the Union.
“Actor Michael J. Fox, a strong advocate for embryonic stem-cell research, will be attending President Bush’s State of the Union address next week at the invitation of Rhode Island Rep. Jim Langevin.” Langevin, the victim of an accidental shooting, has been confined to a wheelchair for most of his adult life. Last July, he gave an emotional speech on the House floor questioning why President Bush had vetoed legislation that might allow people with his injury to walk again.

Somehow, I don’t think that Fox will be sitting next to LaLa Bu$h and the SOTU. GDumbya won’t recognize him from the podium, either.
January 17th, 2007 at 4:25 pmI hope he finds himself sitting right next to rush limbaugh, and uses his affliction as an excuse to elbow him in the face periodically for the hour or so that it lasts
January 17th, 2007 at 4:28 pmHoly crap I hope limbaugh gets laryngitis that week…
January 17th, 2007 at 4:33 pmI hope limbaugh gets laryngitis that week…

Nahhh, I hope he doesn’t. Limbaugh is so well known for not backing down from confrontations!
January 17th, 2007 at 4:43 pm….and Jason Misogynist Hendler graduated suma cumme loudly from that Ivy league university, Stanford
Maybe Limbaugh can advise MJF in advance how much anti-tremor medication he should take on the day of the speech. Just, you know, to clear up any misunderstandings.
January 17th, 2007 at 4:45 pmGood one! Yeah, have Michael Fox sit next to Rush. Rush, you may just find out the the severity of Fox’s neurological disorder.
It would be interesting to invite 100 armless, and legless American soldiers, in wheelchairs, to sit within close proximity of Bush.
I’d sure rather be armless and legless than BRAINLESS. Talk about a real handicap. George, you are BRAINLESS.

January 17th, 2007 at 4:49 pmGood posts, folks.
Having spent the last 30 years serving persons with disabilities, the Rabid Rush BS hit me hard.
Stem Cell & Amniotic research look so promising. Additionally, we have thousands of young soldiers coming back injured & maimed.
Sadly, the SOTU will be all about how we’re going to win in Iraq, while deserving Americans get ignored or ridiculed.
Rush must be named after the sensation he gets after snorting Oxy.
Maybe he could sit with Paula Abdul; they’re both whacked.
Go Michael!
January 17th, 2007 at 4:50 pm#2 Mike:
I am with you. I think MJF should also manage to elbow the gas-bag in his Limpballs
January 17th, 2007 at 4:50 pmNo no! We must make sure these embryos make it to the garbage can intact! Because, throwing away embryos isnt wrong, unless you do research on them before throwing them away..THATS wrong….
January 17th, 2007 at 5:06 pmPresident George W. Bush is the PRESIDENTIAL POSTER BOY for stem-cell research.
It’s just so ironic that Bush is caving in to the Christian-right, and their opposition to stem-cell research, when he himself would benefit greatly from BRAIN stem-cell research.

January 17th, 2007 at 5:27 pmobviously not Rebel in CA, obviously not Zooey.
Obviously rachel needs a date….STAT!
Rachel needs a serious date.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:30 pmI propose Rachel and Jason Hendler hook up, and bump uglies.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:31 pmI propose Rachel and Jason Hendler hook up, and bump uglies.

That would be face-to-face right?
January 17th, 2007 at 5:46 pmI propose Rachel and Jason Hendler hook up, and bump uglies. …Comment by ForTruth —
Be careful with those proposals. Can you even imagine the offspring that might spring from that union?
January 17th, 2007 at 5:54 pm“It is unfortunate that he and so many people suffer with debilitating diseases. We all have lost loved ones to horrible ailments and illnesses — and we all want and pray for good health. But, we should never deny the reality of the living unborn child in order to save our own skins. No human being has a right to do this at the expense of another’s life.â€
Um Zooey, there have been advances made in recent weeks in the harvesting of stem cells from amniotic fluid and maternal blood, with a decreased risk of harm to mother or child. But that aside, let me ask you a question that will do doubt reveal the undercurrent of hypocrisy embedded within your brand of puritan morality.
If this type of research could save your soul from some wasting disease, would you take advantage of it, or could we count on you to die for what you believe in? How can one be pro-life, but deny humankind any measure of opportunity to save life? Kind of flies in the face of your doctrine, does it not?
MJF a “national burden?” Okay, what should we do with him, let him die? “Tranquilize” him? Euthanize him? What would make society better for you, Zooey? Your myopic, genocidal rhetoric is tired, futile, and groundless…and precisely what is wrong with America today. That is your so-called “national burden.â€
Tranquilizers…indeed.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:55 pmOk,
So Rachel hijacks Zooey’s name, then comes back as Xenon to argue with herself.
Good one. You do need a date.
January 17th, 2007 at 5:58 pmRachel,
Your worn out, tired crap of not being able to actually partake in a functional debate is futile and baseless. You are a coward, hiding behind lies and manipulations. It’s only fitting.
Your control issues are showing.
January 17th, 2007 at 6:02 pmRachel is totally schizophrenic!
Lookout! The Government can READ YOU MIND!!!!
Paranoid freakin’ IDIOT. You should submit a resume and try to get an appointment to Shrub’s cabinet.
You’d be at the top of the ‘A’-list.
January 17th, 2007 at 6:46 pmI wonder if Mr. Fox will get the same treatment Cindy Sheehan received last year?
January 17th, 2007 at 6:54 pmThat is your so-called “national burden.â€
Tranquilizers…indeed.
Comment by Xenon
As the other commenters here have pointed out, #12 & #13 ARE NOT ME!
–The real Zooey
January 17th, 2007 at 7:06 pmWe know, Zooey.
Anyone capable of feeding themselves can tell the difference between the pathetic, desperate troll ‘rachel’ and the posters she imitates so clumsily.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:27 pmThank You DRxJ for picking-up on the Rachel crap. #8 is my commnet but not #11
RACHEL: POST UNDER YOUR OWN F@#KING NAME.
January 17th, 2007 at 7:29 pm#25 - Thanks, Trip.
Apparently Xenon is incapable of feeding himself. :)
January 17th, 2007 at 7:44 pmAn MJF joke

January 17th, 2007 at 7:59 pmRebel,
I am chancing the vitriol of the vile troll, but can you please contact me?
All you have to do is look thru’ last night’s posts.
(Since TP didn’t clean them up.)
Kinda important.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:07 pmThanks.
#31 obviously not TrueBlue. Looks like TrueBlue is hijacked too.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:44 pmCongressman Langevin attended my daughter’s graduation at Job Corps in Exeter, Rhode Island (proud poppa blogged about it later that day.). He and Sen. Jack Reed worked tirelessly to appropriate the funds for the new Job Corps.
I was immediately impressed with this decent guy and, even though even I’d never heard of him before, much less knew his party, he was just so nice and personable that I knew that he had to be a Democrat. This guy’s a class act and I can see him taking a Aenate seat in the future.
January 17th, 2007 at 8:44 pm#35 - jurassicpork,
January 17th, 2007 at 8:57 pmBetter get those ‘A’ and ‘S’ keys back where they belong.
Interesting the themes the troll keeps using. It seems to have issues with sexuality. Maybe it was jilted by a lover who cheated. Maybe one of its parents were cheating. Maybe it thinks innocent flirting will get us all turned into salt. Maybe it was overly controlled by religiously freakish parents. Maybe it has no social skills and cannot attract other people in general. Maybe its just a bitter moron who is using the most inappropriate material it can think of.
January 17th, 2007 at 9:05 pmThanks, Rebel In CA,
The Real trueblue.
