Schwarzenegger Calls Rush Limbaugh Irrelevant "All irrelevant. Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant. I am not his servant." - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger this morning on the "Today Show," speaking to Campbell Brown.
During the one-on-one interview, the Republican-registered California governor was asked about criticism from Limbaugh and other conservatives that he has become a Democrat in disguise for supporting stem-cell research, mandatory curbs on carbon dioxide emissions and universal health care. Schwarzenegger said he is "the people's servant of California. What they call me - Democrat or Republican or in the center, this and that - that is not my bottom line. This is for them to talk about."

To be honest I have a real problem when journalist get someone in the guest seat and said so and so said so and so how do you respond? From reading Rush, Arnold gets this set-up everytime on the shows and I think he is tired of it. Having said that, anyone that should listen to and follow the advise of an entertainer (which is what Rush is) is nuts.
Schwarzenegger is just a "covert Kennedy".
It is easy to be "relevant" with other people's money.
I'm pretty sure Rush never called him articulate.
Riddle me this Ahhnold, "if" Rush irrelevant, then why are you talking about him all the time?
Rush Limbaugh is a radio personality, a commentator. Why in the world would his comments be important to Campbell Brown? Has she and the other limp-wristed liberals agreed that Rush is the voice of conservative America? Can they not stop themselves from measuring their silly beliefs against what he says on his radio program? Campbell Brown and all the others like her are really a pitiful lot.
Yeah, I see both sides. Arnold doesn't want people to think he's "controlled," but on the other hand, he should say, "I have great reee-spect vor dis great Amer-eee-can and vee should all list-en to vhat hee says!"
He is indeed...and those of us who pointed this out before his election were mocked as "far right wing extremists" by his legions of supporters here on FR. Same thing that's happening now with Rudy. Some people never learn.
I agree with you. I don't think Rush believes half the things he says.
Arnold has managed to get elected and remain very popular in a very difficult state (and even bounced back when it looked like he's dead). He has some political know-how. Rush, despite the number of listeners he has, could never hope to get elected. It's easier to give advice than to follow it.
The Austrian Girlie Man is Pelsoi's Man Slave.
One word, Kennedy.
Save this thread for 5 years.
See then who is relevant and who is not.
My money's on Rush. Arnold will be a celebrity, but he will NOT be a main street player.
I wonder if Campbell asked him any truth to the rumor that Maria keeps his nuts in her purse.
Who's Schwarzenegger? Sounds like a faggot.
No doubt the state of California would have been better off with Davis staying in office.

If someone is right and makes sense, I'll listen to their advice -- like that "entertainer" Ronald Reagan.
Rush is CONSERVATIVE. That's what bothers you.
And arnies is a lame duck also.
