I just want to say that I agree with Ms. Sykes in that I want Rush Limbaugh's kidneys to fail.  The only reason is that I think he would make a better celebrity spokesperson than Natalie Cole.

At present, the world's most famous dialysis patient is Osama bin Laden.

But as a spokesperson for kidney disease, Osama just won't do.

But Natalie Cole is much easier on the eyes and mentality than Limbaugh.Not for his political view, but what he has stated about other people who have medical conditions I would think Americans would be more receptical too.

There was the Micheal Fox incident when he questioned if Fox was acting to make his Parkinson's seem more debilitating and himself more sympathetic.

Reguardless.... it is not 'funny' to wish kidney failure on anyone.  I want a good spokesperson too... just dont want  anyone to have to suffer through kidney failure to be one....  :flower;
