Paul Rodriguez -- Water War Turns Violent

Comedian Paul Rodriguez got into it with a Fresno local over the state's water distribution system -- and the stand-off erupted into a one-sided shoving match.
It all went down yesterday outside of the Tower Theatre, where Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was speaking about the water issue. The showdown with Rodriguez broke out when a farmer interrupted the comedian's interview and accused the Paul -- who's also chairman of the California Latino Water Coalition -- of "betraying the people."
From what we can tell, the man was upset because he felt Rodriguez was not doing enough to help valley farmers facing a water shortage.
Pushes were thrown, but we're told no cops were called.
