I would think that it takes a lot of courage to put yourself in front of the media the way that Fox has done.

I can't say that I'm a fan of his films - very much take it or leave it from my point of view, but I do applaud what he is doing now. I support stem cell research if it can give hope to those with conditions like this but, even if I was on the fence here I think that this ad, and Limbaugh's sleazy attitude to it, would plant me firmly in the Democrat camp.

I know I shouldn't say this but wouldn't it be payback if Mr Limbaugh contracted something similar? I wonder if he would be prepared to leave himself open to ridicule in the same way?
