Video: Schwarzenegger goofs on Limbaugh’s weight
posted at 7:04 pm on May 27, 2009 by Allahpundit
A palate cleanser equal parts cheap and lame, but I know from the comments to the Meghan McCain threads how many of you guys enjoy fat jokes, so dig in. I wonder how long he’s been waiting to use this bon mot. Probably since, oh, 2003 or so.
Savor the irony of a guy who was elected to solve California’s budget problems urging Republicans to listen more carefully to voters.

how idiotic.
you suck, arnie.
homesickamerican on May 27, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Disgraceful loser.
Join the Dems.
CA is in the gutter.
artist on May 27, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Um, Rush just lost like 50 lbs since January.
kooly on May 27, 2009 at 7:07 PM
CNN Sucks and Arnie is bankrupt.
Firebird on May 27, 2009 at 7:07 PM
OBVIOUSLY he is too tall to notice the CANKLES on that walled-eyed Liberal who shares his bed.
seejanemom on May 27, 2009 at 7:07 PM
**just sayin’**
seejanemom on May 27, 2009 at 7:08 PM
Ahnuld gives Republicans a bad name. Do the Dems want him?
chunderroad on May 27, 2009 at 7:09 PM
LOL!!
InkyBinkyBarleyBoo on May 27, 2009 at 7:10 PM
Governor “Lady Clairol” should watch his own appearance and shut up.
clnurnberg on May 27, 2009 at 7:11 PM
I liked him better as a fake action-hero than gov.
jaboba on May 27, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Schwarzekennedy can’t stand the fact that Rush has higher [approval] ratings. He’s the perfect metaphor for a body builder politician: pumped up on chemicals, synthetic to the core. Take him off his ‘roids and there’s nothing substantial left.
Kalifornia Kafir on May 27, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Screw the Large Tent! That’s what the Dem are for.
Irenaeus on May 27, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Ahnold…Arlen Specter is holding on line 3 for you.
AUINSC on May 27, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Arnold is just sucking up for a bailout from the Bama
clnurnberg on May 27, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Well as long as the Governor is making superficial comments about appearances, I should note that I really didn’t pay any attention to his remarks because I was too busy picturing Nicole Lapin in a bikini.
radjah shelduck on May 27, 2009 at 7:14 PM
I can’t listen to the clip from work, but was AP outrageously outraged when Arnie made fun of Obama’s physique? It must have merited a post. No?
radiofreevillage on May 27, 2009 at 7:14 PM
Good for Rush! Meanwhile, Michael Moore is making a new film about the global financial crisis, and his freak throat looks he could swallow an RV as easily as a footlong sub.
chunderroad on May 27, 2009 at 7:15 PM
If AllahP wanted to, if the mood struck him, he could surly replace the picture of Arnold with this more revealing one.
MB4 on May 27, 2009 at 7:15 PM
TOTAL RECALL
This is the moron who made me MISS Gray Davis??????
SDarchitect on May 27, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Of the two which one had a heart attack? Draining our precious medical resources because of substance abuse.
Stephen M on May 27, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Hey Arnold….your state has become a bloated fat pig under your inability to control your fiscal appetite…matter of fact, its on the emergency room gurney with its heart stopped by the fat you had it eat…..flat line.
Too bad…so sad.
Grow up or die Liberal crap hole.
Itchee Dryback on May 27, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Proof that steroids + pot = Kennedy Disfunctional Syndrome
Limerick on May 27, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Do we make fun of Obama because he looks like he was suspended by the ears and injected with AIDS? No.
Stupid cheap shots.
I’ll call scumBama on his marxist, fascist crap every day if I have to, but the weight, past (PAST) problems with prescription drugs, etc are all moot points.
I’m sure we can dig up plenty of stuff to throw at liberals in this vein, including Schwartzedonger smoking DOPE and doing steroids.
Forget this crap and lets talk about what really matters, out constitution and the endangered future of this country.
Spiritk9 on May 27, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Arnolito has already started his retribution tour, he’s going to layoff more state workers, cut law enforcement, cut loose cons and and forget about the thousand nonessential programs that should have felt the axe long ago.
Every item he can think of make Californians sorry they voted no on his tax now spend more later propositions.
Speakup on May 27, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Arnold married a Kennedy. That’s the biggest insult possible.
It trumps any fat joke. Ever.
roninacreage on May 27, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Cretin
And, hey Arnie, stop speaking “Austrian” and learn some decent English.
Wasn’t it this muscle-bound ape that referred to the one as some sort of weenie? That’s the only thing he got right in years.
Cody1991 on May 27, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Arnold’s model uncle
MB4 on May 27, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Rush is thinner than Arnold. What an idiot.
jencab on May 27, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Hmmm.
radiofreevillage on May 27, 2009 at 7:19 PM
He has developed into such a looser! All of these RINO’s have to be dumped out of the party on their butts without anymore warnings – which they seem to be too full of themselves to even be able to notice…until it comes.
Posey on May 27, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Yuckies! How the mighty have fallen. Literally.
baldilocks on May 27, 2009 at 7:19 PM
“Big Tent”………..
………….. sounds like he read the Colin Powell talking points memo.
Seven Percent Solution on May 27, 2009 at 7:21 PM
Actually, it’s kind of like a two-fer
MB4 on May 27, 2009 at 7:22 PM
I laughed. I did, hard. More from the fact that he basically used an especially wordy, drawn out fat joke on live television, than anything else. Not that I care for Rush either.
ernesto on May 27, 2009 at 7:23 PM
I voted for Tom McClintock – I voted for Tom McClintock – I voted for Tom McClintock!
Da big tent my ass!
InTheBellyoftheBeast on May 27, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Well, I could say something about your bod looking a tad wrinkly and in need of ironing…your impending moobs, your ability to not take command as governor, and drive a once prosperous state, over the cliff, and your wishy washy pansy assed ideology. RINO, that panders to the dems, and socialism.
But I won’t. That wouldn’t be nice. LOL
capejasmine on May 27, 2009 at 7:25 PM
Ok, now pass me the brain bleach!
clnurnberg on May 27, 2009 at 7:25 PM
True that Rush is not a thin man by any stretch of the imagination, but Rush isn’t begging for money from federal government.
Who’s really the joke?
Hog Wild on May 27, 2009 at 7:25 PM
This dude sucks at life. He is a horrible governor and a GREAT EXAMPLE of the MODERATE idiots some people (like Powell) are saying we should get behind. He has done enormous damage to the Republican brand. If Powell is right and people want to pay more taxes for bigger government, how would he explain Arnold’s colossal failure? Arnold (and Powell) should have been disavowed by real Republicans a long time ago.
echosyst on May 27, 2009 at 7:25 PM
InkyBinkyBarleyBoo on May 27, 2009 at 7:10
Gaaahhhh……!! I take the “musle-bound ape” comment back. Holy cow.
Cody1991 on May 27, 2009 at 7:25 PM
You know, the Taxinator is ruining my enjoyment of his classic 1980′s action movies.

SouthernGent on May 27, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Schwarzenegger has gone from the macho bodybuilder tough talking action hero to an utter girly-man in the lat 5 years. For all his bluster he has been rolled constantly in Cali. When times get tough attack Rush. What a political pu$$y.
Ampersand on May 27, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Rush can always lose weight.
Arnold will always be a failure in California history books.
myrenovations on May 27, 2009 at 7:29 PM
In too taosand one
Skynet became self aweeahh

Never trust a man who believes in Global Warming.

LastRick on May 27, 2009 at 7:33 PM
Arnie . . . you’re a fool and a loser and should trot over to the leftist Democrats where you belong.
rplat on May 27, 2009 at 7:34 PM
California’s bankrupt and Rush is worth about a billion dollars. Real funny.
Plus Rush can speak coherent English.
JammieWearingFool on May 27, 2009 at 7:35 PM
Yes, vee need more post-partisan Dopes-(R) or How to Deestroy a State by Sleeping Vit Demolitioncrats.
Poor Ahnold; dee-lose-sional to duh bitter end.
PS: Can Skynet be blamed for stupidity?
Feedie on May 27, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Sotomayor = major thicket
or senior thicket
or something like that. Senior woodland works too (provided copse is woodland)
I like the first one. A dense thorny barrier.
Limerick on May 27, 2009 at 7:40 PM
Arnie came to America to escape Socialism. Really, he did.
JohnBissell on May 27, 2009 at 7:42 PM

seejanemom on May 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Wonder if that includes the same voters who are right now signing petitions to recall him.
The Ugly American on May 27, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Arnold, Hasta la vista, baby. But, this time you won’t be back. Bwahaha!
TheBigOldDog on May 27, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Good one, Arnold. Ruin the state and then rub it in, you f-ing moron who should be deported.
Drum on May 27, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Arnold’s gonads have obviously shrunk from the size of small chestnuts to peas with his use of steroids, what a frickin’ waste of humanity. His DNA should be destroyed so future generations will not have to even thin about reviving this cretin.
hip shot on May 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Poor Arnold – no more political career and he doesn’t have the bod for the movies anymore.
What’s going on with his face? Looks like it was chiseled out of burnt log.
HondaV65 on May 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Oh my God, and here I was having such a nice evening. Now I shall have to pluck out my eyeballs. Icky.
kg598301 on May 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Take your pick, would you rather be overweight or have an artificial heart valve from steroid use? Well, you can lose the weight…
Erich66 on May 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Well, Ahhhnold. At least Rush can speak fluent English. You, on da oddah hand, tawk funhnee.
stenwin77 on May 27, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Benedict Ahnold. Many years ago we had such high hopes for you. But you betrayed us.
Christian Conservative on May 27, 2009 at 8:10 PM
Hmmm…you who are upset that Ahnold is dissing Rush, some of you laughed when Ahnold poked fun at BHO’s “skinny” body during that Ohio campaign stop for J-Mac.
jgapinoy on May 27, 2009 at 8:10 PM
I was just remarking in another thread how stupid he sounded on the radio just now trying to make the voters in Calif feel guilty for not allowing him and his fellow crooks to keep robbing us blind.
He said he had to:
1. Cut healthcare for poor kids. Boo hoo hoo!
2. Let inmates out early. Good! More crime = more work for me. And frankly they have done it so many times before and the sky hasn’t fallen.
3. Close 80% of the state parks. I’ll just jump the fence.
So, he covered healthcare (the children!), crime, and the environment.
Blake on May 27, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Arnie has cut back from groping 5 women a day to only 3. He should be congratulated.
Blake on May 27, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Touche, though I think Meghan is cute. Picking at physical characteristics though isn’t really my thing. It shows a childish lack of any other argument.
ddrintn on May 27, 2009 at 8:14 PM
I don’t care to listen to a failure of a man. He is the chief executive to a bankrupt state who needs to beg others to pay his own bills.
Rush is a man.
Arnold was a good actor.
JellyToast on May 27, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Why don’t they ever cut bureacratic payrolls and pare down some of the sillier salaries…oh and make the public employees pay larger copays like the rest of us!
clnurnberg on May 27, 2009 at 8:16 PM
Seriously, what is this clown doing attacking ANYONE? He came in after a recall and bankrupted the state… And by the way, set up a model for B. Hussein to copy on the entire nation.
RightWinged on May 27, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Why don’t voters ever insist on sensible cuts and hold their ground instead of quaking when pols threaten to cut police and such?
clnurnberg on May 27, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Strange, I’ve noticed the same thing about MAH-RE-AH. Time & liberalism seem to be taking their toll, slowly eating the flesh away from their faces.
kg598301 on May 27, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Maria is anorexic. However, when people get older, they lose the fat in their face that is a characteristic of youth. And I’m sure they have had a little nip and tuck which again, when you have lost the fat in your face due to aging, makes you look weird.
Blake on May 27, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story, there. Arnold’s over 30%, while Rush is under 20%. Also, this type of humor is par for the course for Arnold. He does this with anyone who seems to stand in his way politically. We knew that when he was elected in 2003.
calbear on May 27, 2009 at 8:30 PM
Yes, he made several jokes about “skinny” BHO while campaigning for McCain.
jgapinoy on May 27, 2009 at 8:48 PM
Ah but Rush’s ratings among Repubs is 62%. What is Ahnold’s among Repubs? Not that this matters, Rush isn’t running for office. And, of course, the leftist MSM smears him every chance they get.
Christian Conservative on May 27, 2009 at 9:06 PM
Wow, that is really funny from a guy who has been to the plastic surgeon almost as much as Nancy Pelosi.
ctmom on May 27, 2009 at 9:14 PM
Obambi IS skinny. Rush does not weight 650 lbs.
ctmom on May 27, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Arnie, you married a Kennedy, and you are reaping what you sowed.
lizzee on May 27, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Arnie is a clown …… he knows it, we know it…..end of story.
David in ATL on May 27, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Maybe more of an oddity than actor, although he was big box office, once upon a time. Apparently though, his act has worn thin when he reduces himself to piling on Rush — along with the other leftys. Still, I had high hopes that Arno could make a difference in CA. Maybe the ChiComs will still accept California as Debt Service on Obama’s T-Bills?
“Let’s Roll”
On Watch on May 27, 2009 at 9:41 PM
The last time Arnie looked good was his CGI cameo in the new Terminator flick.
Valiant on May 27, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Say all you want but if Davis was left in office things would have been this bad only three years sooner.
jukin on May 27, 2009 at 9:47 PM
I really disliked the jokes on those threads too, but this is a fair point.
malclave on May 27, 2009 at 9:51 PM
This was very unprofessional on Arnold’s part. I don’t remember President Reagan or President Bush ever making this kind of statement when they were governor or president. Correct me if I’m wrong. This seems to be a characteristic of liberal politicians.
Rose on May 27, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I voted for Arnold and I’m still not sorry I did because he was the only alternative at the time. This was just friendly ripping on Rush’s weight. He knows Rush can handle it. I don’t think it was said with malice or indignation. This is just a MSM question (who is in charge of the republican party? Is it Rush Limbaugh?) designed to create a riff between the conservative movement and the republican party in an effort to keep the opposition party divided. Instead of a joke, he should have answered, “don’t you know who the head of the RNC is?? Don’t you know who is in charge of the Republican party? What kind of journalist are you?? Rush Limbaugh is a guy on the radio you moron!!”
Dollayo on May 27, 2009 at 9:57 PM
This:

For some reason I can’t get this video to play. Can anyone else now?
Kensington on May 27, 2009 at 10:12 PM
I can watch this one, but often not others. It seems if Ed or Allah posts something from MSNBC or CNN, I can watch it, but from Fox News I can’t. No idea why.
radjah shelduck on May 27, 2009 at 10:29 PM
And what a fine job he’s done of it.
capitalist piglet on May 27, 2009 at 10:38 PM
WOW!,…Hey Arnie,..pssst,..remember those little nude pictures you have out?..we could poke(no pun intended) fun all day on those.
christene on May 27, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Lol yeah I’m wondering if Arnold didn’t pump himself full of so many steroids what shape he would be in. Odds are Schwarzenegger’s heart will expload years before Rush’s.
Rbastid on May 27, 2009 at 11:01 PM
hey black plowman, your homeland needs english to austrian translators.
daesleeper on May 27, 2009 at 11:06 PM
So what you are saying is that she is anorexic & they are both cosmetic surgery junkies. Sorry if I came across that they are abnormal in some way, ha ha
kg598301 on May 27, 2009 at 11:07 PM
OMG. What. EVER.
Let it be recorded for posterity that as North Korea exploded nukes and California slid into fiscal catastrophe, neither the MSM nor Ahnold was fiddling. They were talking about Rush Limbaugh’s weight.
J.E. Dyer on May 27, 2009 at 11:11 PM
Hey, at least Rush still has flesh on his face. lol
kg598301 on May 27, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Nicole Lapin really enjoyed that judging from her
smirky little grin. Arnie’s still ticked at Rush. HA ! !
Goes to show Rush is still being Rush and hasn’t
changed in over 20 yrs. . . . And won’t. Ha !
Terminator Man.
Texyank on May 27, 2009 at 11:36 PM
It doesn’t matter what Arnold says, he’ll soon be gone … but Rush will triumph for quite a few more years!! God willing
