Michael J. Fox Responds To Rush Limbaugh's Claims

Michael J. Fox was on CBS News with Katie Couric last night to speak about Rush Limbaugh's claims that he was faking his condition during a commercial for Claire McCaskill.

Michael said that he was actually overly medicated. Limbaugh later apologized for his comment.
He told Couric that he did the ads only to advance his cause, and that he doesn't care about politics.

Michael spoke on Limbaugh's comments, “He used the word victim, and on another occasion I heard he used the word pitiable. You have to understand, nobody in this situation wants pity. … I’m not a victim. I’m someone who’s in this situation … along with millions of other Americans.”

“It’s not pretty when it gets bad. I’ve learned to throw vanity out the window. I’ve had enough years of people thinking I was pretty and teenage girls hanging my picture on walls. I’m over that now.”
