Limbaugh, who a day earlier had accused the governor of abandoning the conservative cause, treated Schwarzenegger cordially. But the two had a back-and-forth discussion over extending health care to illegal immigrants — a sensitive subject throughout the United States.
Schwarzenegger's recent policy moves to cut the greenhouse gases associated with global warming, raise the minimum wage and extend health care to all Californians have angered many conservatives.
Limbaugh said the compromises Schwarzenegger said were necessary "to get things done" were a capitulation to liberals.

But Limbaugh sounded pleased when Schwarzenegger eased out of the interview, saying he wanted to smoke more cigars with him.
"The key thing is that people should know that you and I, we don't have a fight," Schwarzenegger said.
In an interview aired Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show, Schwarzenegger had said Limbaugh's views were irrelevant to his work in California.
"All irrelevant. Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant. I am not his servant," Schwarzenegger said.

As I posted, most here don't listen to the show, you formed an opinion about Rush long ago and you don't know what the hel! you are even posting about.
Beam me up Scottie, No intelligence down here.
California, under Arnold's leadership, has made great gains. Partisan Politics, as usual, is extremely harmful to our country and smothers meaningful progress. Arnold has shown us that good things do happen if we are considerate of other people. By the way, I believe there is something in Christian doctrine about helping other people and not being selfish. We should do unto others as we would like them to do unto us.
Enough now! Let's get down to the task of healing our divided nation. I say, California, lead the way.

Rush Limbaugh is smarter then anyone and everyone. Just ask the egotistical arrogant pri*ck and he'll tell you. he knows all, sees all and tells what he can remember when the buzz wears off. He the fat slob that never got a date in school and so now pays the world back by preaching his bitterness, hate and intolerance. If he'd gotten laid more in High school (or even just a hand job or two....from a GIRL not his "buddy") he might actually be a decent human being. Naw...I'm wrong. He's a fat obnoxious slob. Always has been and always will be as long as he can find people with low enough IQ's to actually believe his cr*ap. Take a pill Rush, because chemicals are the only friend you have.
Looks like the governator has no balls either!
Pity, I kind of liked what he's doing in CA.
This is the same guy that claimed Abu Ghraib was no big deal before the pictures came out.
This is the same guy that claimed Baghdad was safer than downtown Detroit at the beginning of the war.
This is the same guy that say warrantless siezure of personal records was no big deal until his personal records were siezed showing he was obtaining prescription drugs illegally.
This was the same guy that was fired for saying, Donavan McNabb the QB for the Eagles was over-rated because he was African-American, right before McNabb took the Eagles to the Super Bowl. Rush was dismissed for it, and rightly so.
As Al Franken so accurately pointed out Rush is a "Big Fat Liar" not to mention racist biggot who is the voice for closet racists around this country who are too afraid to speak out for themselves.
Rush Limbaugh mentions the Clintons within 60 seconds of tuning in. Don't believe me? Then let's play a drinking game. Take a drink every time Bill or Hillary is mentioned, starting in the first minute (two drinks if both are mentioned). You could set up your own rules to this game, but if you add the word "liberals" to the mix, then you might as well forget it because you'll be under the table long before his show is finished!
actornaught,what hate?
a minority (but still too many) actually buy into his hate, his obsession with all things Clinton and all of his 'liberal' straw men, as he creates them to tear them down.
i often turn him on just to see how long it takes before he says something ignorant, or does one of his annoyingly whining routines. i almost never go as long as a minute.
those few of you that are fans, that's what the rest of us hears.
he's a hate monger for hire! he hands out enough ammunition for bigots, racists & the self-absorbed to keep them going for the rest of their lives! He's an utter liar that has no respect for his audience or american values. He's at least a 6-time loser that corrupted debating techniques into a one-sided presentation to polarize public opinion! For MONEY, that's all!
with all that, YES, HE'S RELEVANT! In a very very ugly way!!
Don't tell me i never listened....
