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:

Wow. I guess the author has never listened to Howeird Stern?
“Hu is Cynthia Tucker?”
Yep. She’s just trying to get mentioned on his show tomorrow. I hope he doesn’t oblige.....
Cynthia, you ignorant slut! Rush is none of the things you accuse him of.
He's back to his old form in the early days of Slick Willie from '93-'96.....I am really enjoying his commentaries these days. He is very funny speaking the truth!!!
lololol
daily?
Did Rush explain the “gyp” (JIP) at the beginning of his show? That would baffle many an unsophisticated listener.
Lots of supposedly knowledgeable conservative people in past years said this situation was wonderful, because China was sending America hard goods in exchange for a bunch of IOUs. So what exactly is China doing — lending the IOUs back to America? So America in return gives China an IOU for an IOU? I can’t follow this infinite recursion — my skull threatens to explode.
Is that all he did? Maybe Cindy would prefer a media more like China where you are censored in your speech.
LOL! No sense of humor!
Anything that puts
Tucker’s panties in a wad
Is OK by me.
Obviously, he’s not a regular Rush listener. That faux Chinese was a coded message to his listeners to shoot moderate Democrats. Get with the program, will ya?
I thought it was pretty Funny Myself,Just not as Funny as Cynthias Usual Jibberish
I feel the same way about all of these a$$bags. The large turd Alec Baldwin tops my list, and clogs the crapper.
If he did Rush and Dingy Harry agree on one thing.
Where was Cynthia Tucker when all the liberals were joking about GW Bush’s manner of speaking?
This is the Atlanta Uninal and Constipation, right?
Is this the same wildeyed commy nutcase Mckinney that was congresswoman from GA?
So what.South Park routinely mocks oriental speech.We need to start ignoring all this PC nit picking.It’s ok for the left to call us tea baggers,we ought to hit back calling the enviro wack jobs by calling them “tree baggers”.Watch them really nut up.
