US-MEDIA-POLITICS-FOX-COURIC
This CBS Evening News video grab handout image received 27 October 2006, shows CBS Evening News anchor and Managing Editor Katie Couric(R) conducting an exclusive interview 26 October with US actor Michael J. Fox (L) about his ads for stem cell research, including conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s reaction to those ads. Hollywood star Fox is finding out just how ugly US politics can get, facing claims he played up tormenting affects of Parkinson's to puff up Democrat candidates in mid-term elections.The "Back to the Future" star faced conservative fire after taking his crusade for embryonic stem-cell research -- which sufferers hope holds the key to curing the disease -- onto the campaign trail ahead of 07 November polls. In a heart-wrenching television commercial, the once fresh-faced Canadian-born star writhes and twitches, struggling to hold his head still to look into camera. "What you do in Missouri matters to millions of Americans. Americans like me," Fox tells voters in an ad for Democrat Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. Democrats have made embryonic stem-cell research a hot-button issue in the elections, after President George W. Bush used his first veto in July to block expansion of federal funds for such experiments. AFP PHOTO/CBS NEWS/HO RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE/NO SALES =GETTY OUT=
