Fox in the Dem House

By now, everyone can see that Michael J. Fox is a heavy-hitter on the campaign trail, especially for Democrats. There's a large sympathetic vote to gain if a candidate can get the support of this former Spin City actor and current Parkinson's disease sufferer. Fox is a very charismatic guy, but not many people know the true horrors of his disease. I met Fox just once. It was last Spring, at a benefit to support stem cell research held at Oprah Winfrey's house in Chicago. Oprah's maid left her child upstairs in the coat room while she washed the dishes. When I entered the room late that night to get my coat, there was Fox hunched over the crib, a bloody mass of stem cells dripping from his chin. The man is beyond sick. Vindicated.
