 A quick "hell yeah" to California's Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. After being called out as a liberal (which he really is) by enormously overweight hypocrite Rush Limbaugh, Arnold fired back by calling Limbaugh, one of America's pre-eminent conservative political voices, "irrelevant."
This, to me, is even more satisfying than reading Al Franken's book, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, which I read in high school. Limbaugh is on par with Ann Coulter in terms of angering stupidity, so any kind of public humiliation comes as a great source of pleasure for me. If you don't know who Rush Limbaugh is, you can Wikipedia him and find a great deal of information I'm sure. But just know that this guy has made a name for himself by saying that all drug offenders should go to jail, no matter what. Then this guy gets caught having his maid score him thirty OxyContin a day. Thirty! Oh, right, but that's his "medicine." Well Rush, I'm about to spark up some of my "medicine" too.
Another big round of applause for Arnold Schwarzenegger everyone, because nothing can be more damaging than having a major face in the party you champion call you "irrelevant" when you claim to be a powerful influence on public opinion.

UPDATE: Arnold spoke on Limbaugh's radio show today. Here's part of the exchange, courtesy of CNN's Political Ticker.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A day after declaring Rush Limbaugh "irrelevant," California GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger directly confronted the conservative commentator on his popular radio show, saying he thinks getting results is more important to him than maintaining an ideology.
"I have to ultimately make decisions that is based on bringing people together, bringing Democrats and Republicans together and really working for the people and trying to resolve issues -- if it is issues that have to do with the environment, or health care, or if it is creating more jobs, getting more businesses to California -- all of those decisions," Schwarzenegger told Limbaugh Wednesday. "I have to make tough decisions every day.
"So what you guys are talking about -- the ideology, the philosophy, the Right vs. the Left -- I cannot deal with that as much, because to me what is important is that I bring both of the parties together and make things work to serve the people," he added.
Limbaugh told Schwarzenegger that he disagreed with his strategy.
"I am all for bringing people together, but not for compromising principles in the process," Limbaugh responded. "I have said that your compromise looks more like agreeing with liberals than maintaining your natural conservative beliefs."
Earlier in the week, Limbaugh declared Schwarzenegger a "closet liberal" who had "sold out" on Republicans.(Watch video: CNN's Carol Costello reports on Limbaugh's comments)
"Arnold Schwarzenegger has done the typical sellout move," Limbaugh said. "He has sold out, and there are too many conservatives selling out these days. You can find 'em all over Washington, DC."
Schwarzenegger took issue with Limbaugh's assessment and addressed it during Wednesday's appearance.
"It's not selling out, it's just doing the work for the people," Schwarzenegger said.
"I pay very little attention if someone criticizes me or calls me -- that I'm turning left, that I'm selling out or whatever," he added. "I have to stay focused on results." -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney |

NOBODY is "on par with Ann Coulter" Arlen. Rush Limbaugh may be an irrelevant douchebag, but Ann Coulter is the DEFINITION of douchebag (not medically or in the physical sense ... you get what I mean). She is one of the people whom evolution left behind. She still has a few hundred million years to go before she begins to show any traces of a very average human mind. Rush Limbaugh, though I am not as familiar with him, is overweight. And fat. And dumb. But he is not Ann Coulter. This post offends me more than anything I have ever read because to be on par with Ann Coulter is equivalent to being on par with Satan ... except the "un-evolved," if you will, version of him. ann coulter is "Satan the ape." She is not smart enough to be Satan. She is twice as evil. In fact, I would like to propose a movement right now to declare that ann coulter is the actual Satan. ann coulter is the anti-christ. maybe that argument will appeal to all her followers. Her stupidity and ignorance may not even slightly affect her disciples, but once the anti-christ is brought into the equation maybe they will listen. I do not believe in an "anti-christ" the way so many people do. i think it is ridiculous. i also think ann coulter is ridiculous. THEREFORE, if a=b and b=c, ann coulter is the anti-christ.
So there. That is your punishment for comparing anybody to ann coulter. you have to go through and read everything i wrote. i hope you have learned your lesson my friend. :-p
these are very good news (to me), and quite well ilustrated, man.
I first heard about Rush from Bill Hicks and Dennis Miller, so i get the picture. Arnie keeps on surprising, though. Not a bad puppet at all...
Nice stuff.
droff out
haha, what a rant there John, I think you and I need to spend a day reading her books and watching clips of her speak, so we can get so fired up that we beat up James, haha
