Poppycock, balderdash, and hooey

Professional expert witness Dr. Felix Quackenbush says that Derf Kimbrough's supposed Boniva addiction is "poppycock," All The Excess! has learned. Quackenbush says that any notion that Boniva is an addictive drug is "balderdash."

Much speculation has arisen regarding whether Kimbrough's rehab is real or an elaborate stunt to generate sympathy. (See Friday's story here.)

Quackenbush told All The Excess! in an exclusive interview that the hardening of organs Kimbrough describes is impossible. "It's a lot of hooey. Maybe when pigs fly," he barked.

Kimbrough's attorneys declined to return our phone calls. Meanwhile, today's Kimbrough guest host, actor John Travolta, led the nationwide audience in a meditation for Derf Kimbrough and sang "We Shall Overcome" a cappella, dedicating it to the beleagured talk show host.
