Partial transcript from the Rush Limbaugh show on Thursday:
RUSH: I want to make an apology here. You have number seven from the audio sound bite roster ready to go? All right, let her rip.
FOX: The symptoms that I had in the ad that I did, that’s called dyskinesia, and that’s actually from too much medication.
RUSH: Okay, I need to apologize, I was wrong because I speculated either he didn’t take his medication or he was acting. I never said the word faking. Now, if you people on the left want to equate acting with faking, I mean, go ahead, George Clooney would be a faker, all your favorite actors, we’ll call them fakers. I never used the word. But I was wrong. He did take his medications. Now he took too much medication.
The point is, he did something differently to appear in this ad than when he appears on Boston Legal. And that was my first human reaction. “Whoa! I’ve never seen this. I have not seen this before.” Now I gather, from the past three days, that we are to believe that this is the normal condition that poor Mr. Fox has to live with each and every day. That’s the impression that they’re leaving, is it not? That this is how his life is now, but he himself said he took too much medication. He didn’t do that when he went on Boston Legal, but it happened for the taping of this ad. I think the reason for that is so you would really, really hate Republicans, because Republicans don’t want to cure it. Jim Talent doesn’t care. Michael Steele doesn’t care. No one in the Republican Party cares. They don’t want to cure these things. They’re happy, in fact, to see people suffer like Mr. Fox is in this ad.
You’ve convinced us, Rush. You’re obviously very caring.

I think you can get those armbands through his website too.
After I heard him dig a deeper hole the day after and even yesterday, it was like, just – shut – up and let it die.
Instead he still went around trying to convince himself he didn’t mean what he said he meant when he said he meant what he says when he doesn’t mean it – even if he never meant it.
;-p
Problem is, Rush just can’t control himself, even with meds.
If anyone watched his remarks on TV from the studio as he was saying them – and he conveniently forgets this part – he DID mock Fox when he shook his arms around.
Now, I mock Stephen Hawking, but at least I admit it.
“Here look (shaking uncontrollably), I’m Rush Limbaugh (drooling uncontrollably) on Oxycontin…”
I forgot who Rush Limbaugh was, insignificance needs attention I guess.
