What, is it the week for jerks?

We have Rush Limbaugh (always reliable as a jerk on the lunatic Conservative fringe) poking fun at Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease and an Australian Muslim cleric comparing scantily-clad women to 'uncovered meat' who invite rape. Both men have sparked furor for their remarks, which is at least comforting. Sheikh Taj Aldin al-Hilali, who has been forced to stop preaching for up to three months due to the controversy (he also said the world should be 'cleaned' of the White House), at least apologised to women he might have offended with his remark. He claimed he was trying to uphold the honour of all women.

Crazy.
