For the most part, I think Rush Limbaugh is better ignored. He’s a shameless liar who has helped turn incivility into the national past-time, a demagogue who has done more than his share to divide the body politic. And made hundreds of millions of dollars doing it. But his utterly classless mocking today of a visiting dignitary — Chinese President Hu Jintao — ought to embarrass many of Limbaugh’s ardent fans. While Limbaugh frequently engages in race-baiting, his performance today was a low ebb even for him. Commenting on the fact that Fox didn’t immediately provide translation during Hu Jintao’s press conference, he mocks the president’s language in the childish and stupid faux Mandarin that was typical of bad Hollywood slapstick of the 1920s and ’30s. (h/t Steve Benen):
“We’re not gonna gyp Fox,” Rush Limbaugh said. “I wanted to gyp it because the — well, the — Hu Jintao, he was speaking, and they weren’t translating. They normally — you have some translator every couple of words. But Hu Jintao was just going [mocking Chinese speech for 20 seconds]. Nobody was translating. But that’s the closest I can get.”
It’s not even funny — just dumb. If you can stomach it, you can hear it on this audio clip:

Cynthia isn’t very good a stand-up comedy.
Stupid woman. It’s not “gyp”. You are not allowed to say “gyp” anymore because it offends Gypsies. What Rush said was “jip” - join in progress.
What’s shameless is Zero kissing the commies rear end!
I wonder how this MSM hypocrite b1tch felt when Saturday Night Live, TWICE, had WHITE COMEDIANS faking Chinese noises and portraying Hu Jintao bending over asking Obama to screw him in the ass because of our loans from them.
Why didn’t she raise the issue these two times?
Friggin myopic hypocrite liberal propagandist.
Did Rush call him a “dictator”?
I wasn’t listening...
Darn, bet it was an excellent show today and I missed it.
You’re right. Rush Limbaugh isn’t funny.....HE’S FREAKING HILARIOUS! Who cares if he makes fun of Hu Jintao ?
Yeah, I think I can stomach it.
She needs to get over herself.
You’d think there would have been a screen scroller or something and that Hu would have furnished an English version of his planned presentation. Chinese isn’t always easy to translate into English.
Yeah, it was a bit over the top to mock Chinese yakking. It should suffice to say that Hu was yakking away in Chinese on the tube and heaven knew what he was trying to tell Obama.
So Rush made fun of a thug tyrant who is having 32,000 babies murdered while he hobnobs in Washington.
He deserves neither the title of dignitary, nor the respect of any American.
If Rush made any mistake, it was in ~only~ mocking him, rather than lambasting him as the murdering Communist he is.
(Of course, Hu and The Usurper will get along just fine..... while they’re comparing body counts.)
He made fun of Hu?
(pun intended)
Oh, you’re mocking...Sorry. I’m new here. :)
Hu is Cynthia Tucker?
Who is Cynthia Tucker? Oh, let me guess. Another imbecile?
hey Tiger what was it that Hu said?
Do I care when anyone makes fun of Rev Jaaaaacksonnnnnnnnnnn’s ebonics? Nope.
