Did Rush Limbaugh‘s appearance on Fox News Sunday break the alleged “truce” between the White House and Fox News? Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer suggested as much during an interview with Obama’s Senior Adviser, David Axelrod.

But rather than taking the opportunity to rail on FNC, Axelrod instead spent most of his energy on taking down Limbaugh. A sign of things to come?

While the salvos between FNC and the White House have recently abated, we are now left to wonder: what the hell happened? It’s clear why FNC loved the controversy — it helped their ratings and allowed them to cover one of their favorite topics: Fox News!

But the unanswered question thus far is this: what exactly did the White House get out of it? Three words: Health care reform.
