A new low for Rush Limbaugh?

For the most part, I think Rush Limbaugh is better ignored. Hes 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 Limbaughs 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 didnt immediately provide translation during Hu Jintaos press conference, he mocks the presidents language in the childish and stupid faux Mandarin that was typical of bad Hollywood slapstick of the 1920s and 30s. (h/t Steve Benen):
Were not gonna gyp Fox, Rush Limbaugh said. I wanted to gyp it because the well, the Hu Jintao, he was speaking, and they werent 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 thats the closest I can get.
Its not even funny just dumb. If you can stomach it, you can hear it on this audio clip:

Note to myself.
After Red China launches their missiles, bought and paid for with American money, I think Hu will be singing “Who’s Sorry Now?”.
Sorry Connie Francis, I just couldn’t resist.

"Hu is Cynthia Tucker?" Some bimbo trying to use Rush to further her career.

That was one of the best SNL skits I have seen in many, many years. And how un-PC Cynthia is to mock a hearing-disabled person trying to portray what he hears a foreign language speaker say.

I wish Rush would take on the more difficult role of mocking Cynthia Tucker, who’s been insulting patriots for a living for decades.

That's the problem, she and liberals can't, they are so high minded with pride they can't get over themselves.
They are blind.

"I don't understand Tucker's definition of racism."Other than it is illegal in EUrotopia, they call it xenophobia, fear of foreign countries.
So, dislike of Mexican illegal aliens would be xenophobic not racist.
Hatred of Communist China, or Dictator Hu, would be xenophobic, not racist.
And anyway, Jessie Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackson said racism can only exist against MINORITIES, who by his definition have no power.
How can someone be racist about ChiComs? They are hardly a minority.

Cynthia Tucker couldn't ignore Rush Limbaugh if she tried...after all, where would she get all of her material for skewing right wingers and white people.
There is no accounting for the money probably lost by the AJC based on race-baiter Tucker alone. Years ago when she first started seeing a racist behind every tree I cancelled my subscription and I won't even read a free copy in the doctor's waiting room.
She just never quits. I remember one time she wrote something about iced tea in the South being racist. She has the mind of an angry adolescent and cannot and will not stop talking about race. Another pissed off black that is mad because they didn't get to march with Dr. King.
I'm surprised she hasn't insisted on her column being on black paper with white ink...oh, it must be the white ink party. "White ink" sounds too much like "Whitey", I guess.
This woman will live out her live slandering and debasing the white race, with absolutely no credentials to back up her vitroil. She's a pitiful human being.

That was funny when Rush was translating since the translator was messed up and would say three words then it got translated pretty soon nobody at the press conference knew what was being said! But Rush knew what was said cause he translated it!!!!

If Cynthia can’t translate the Chinese, perhaps she should tell us
what Hu sounded like he was saying.
