Arnold hits Rush: 'I think he's down to 650 lbs.'

[240 is Back]

Speaking to CNN today, California's movie star in-chief cracked wise on one of the Republican party's easiest targets: Rush Limbaugh.

Just watch:

This video is from CNN, broadcast May 28, 2009.

To be clear, that line again was:

"Well I think that they say that Rush Limbaugh is the 800 lb. gorilla in the Republican Party. But I think that's mean-spirited to say that. ... Because, I think he's down to 650 lbs. I think one should be fair to him about this whole thing."

[Straw Man]

Ahnold is looking pretty lean

the joke wasn't half bad

he's correct about what the Repubs should do but I don't think they are open to the message

he's saying the Repubs should listen to the people and broaden their tent

the repubs are saying ...no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!  we're right and everyone else is wrong....no one understands us, etc...

[24KT]

Someone needs to put Coach on suicide watch, ...this will probably hit him very hard. 

[Benny B]

Arnold lays the smack down on the Fatty Arbuckle of the airways. 

The repubes won't listen to Arnold...he makes too much sense in this clip. They'd rather lose on the national level again and again and be "right."

lol

of course, when arnold bashed obama's girly arms, the neocuunts here laughed.

will they laugh at this one as well?  Or will the feign how offended they are, and blame arnold's comments on the decline of the fast food industry, demanding an apology but refusing an airport photo op?

[Hugo Chavez]

Oh Snap

Lets see if Rush has the balls to start a war of words with Arnold.  I'm guessing he doesn't and he'll ignore this.  Rush doesn't have what it takes, Arnold will destroy him and look like he didn't put any thought into it while Rush will come off frustrated and angry possibly having another bouncing seizure.

I thought it was skinny legs and something about doing more squats

They are going to bash his policies and governance in Cali, say he sucks, and say that they don't need him anyway because he isn't a "real" republican (aka right-wing nutjob).

perhaps this is something smarter than we realize.

Rush has, like it or not, been the face of the repub party for the last month or so, when Cheney isn't.

By attacking him, Arnold is his perceived combatant, and looks to be on the Dem/Obama side for this.


I wonder who looks better in this situation... a moderate repub/movie star who loves obama...  Or the overweight guy who doctorshops, smuggles viagra, insults michael j fox, etc?


This is just more icing on Obama's cake.  Arnold vs. Rush... lol Dems gotta be loving this!

or

he could also be on the "new" republican side ...sans cheney, limbaugh and the endless string of nut-huggers who will frantically try to re-brand themselves

Good point.  Old repubs = cheney and rush. 
New repubs = Arnold, Crist, etc.

Wow, it'll be so nice when neoconservatism is a terrible memory and Rush starts playing moderate again - which he will.

I thought it was funny.He then said the REPUBLICAN party NEEDS Rush[240 forgot that].

Rush DID respond.He said Arnold,if he had just stuck to his guns ,instead of selling out to the left,probably could have gotten the supreme court to change the rules and had a chance to become president.Instead,he is doomed.He has helped to destroy California.Rush thinks Arnold had more potential then almost anyone in the party,but has allowed the enviro nuts to dictate his policies which are killing California.

The idea that Crist or Arnold are the future of the party is silly.Its guys like Mike Pence who will lead the party in the future.

[shootfighter1]

I didn't see the big deal with this, perhaps not the best comment but not a big deal.  Rush dishes it out to many so he should expect some hits coming his way.  Rush is a radiohost, not a politician.

I cracked up when I heard that one.

How long before Rush goes "there" with Arnold?

"Like a normal outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime." --Rep Mike Pence (R-IN), describing his visit to a Baghdad market where a suicide bomber killed 88 people a few months earlier. Pence and the other members of the U.S. delegation visiting the market were decked in flak jackets while surrounded by 100 soldiers in armored Humvees and attack helicopters.

Did he really say that?  If so, more pretty bad spin.

This guy is LIGHT years ahead of ANY democrat congressman and kicks their ass EVERYTIME they debate on the floor of the senate.

By the way,compare that remark to the leader of your party in the senate.

Only in delusions and half baked reality.

This is your party's future?  God job.  Say hello to the Whigs.

DAM straight brother!!!!!

Its going to be people like Rick Perry and Bobby Jindal, Mark Sanford, and Liz Cheney. They are the best Republicans and they are the ones who govern over healthy economies. Arnold has helped to destroy California and Crist has driven all the private insurance companies out of Florida. Because Arnold tried to "get along" and "become more inclusive" the Republicans cannot point to California as an example of a cesspool of Democrat leaches running wild. (Actually, I still do: it is the Democrats who still control California, but that is difficult for a casual voter to see. ) These two people are not true Republicans. Republicans do not cater to the misconseptions of the people. They cater more to societal truth.  That is what being a Republican means for me. Its so pathetic that you people say that Republicans need to be more like Arnold. That is what is contributing to the destruction of California!!!!!
