Guy calls on the radio and calls Rudy Giuliani a crappy mayor and New York's biggest criminal. Rudy retorts. Flash to caller's home, where he wheels around in 'shock' and 'disappointment' at said event. We get to hear his Parkinson's-based speech impediment, see a picture of Jesus, and examine a shelf full of medicine.
Now I'm not against the handicapped expressing their opinion, but do you agree that media and politicians turn them into sideshow freaks, trying to garner sympathy for their various causes? The article title being distributed around various news sources goes like this:
'Rudy Giuliani Makes Fun of a Parkinson's Patient'
How's that for shameless exploitation?
And no, I'd be equally irritated if the media did the same thing to Hillary or Obama.
