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:

Tucker is a divisive liar and therefore Rush is not.
Good point.
That SNL skit was hilarious... thanks for the reminder. ;-)
I missed Rush today, too bad. I bet it was a good show. ...This ditz, Cynthia whatever lied more in this opening paragraph than Rush has lied during his career.
Heh.... love the part where Hu de-planes and throws Obama the keys over his shoulder like he’s the valet .. LOL
Cynthia, if only there were readers of the Atlanta Urinal and Contipation
“Friggin myopic hypocrite liberal propagandist.”
And a VERY experienced race baiter
So it could be called classic humor?
Sure, it is childish and dumb, that's its appeal. At least, that's its appeal to people with a sense of humor. However desperately Ms. Tucker wants for it to be racist, it simply is not. It is too obviously unserious.
Rush would probably laugh at a recording of a Chinese comedian imitating American English in exactly the same manner. Of course, then he would respond, but there is no chance at all that he would be offended.
As for Cynthia's failure to understand JIP, I will help. Here is a Wikipedia definition:
Join In Progress (JIP): In broadcast engineering, to suspend the current program and cut to or merge in another programming stream, for example, to cover a special event or breaking news.
Note that Cynthia not only revealed her ignorance of the term, she never bothered to find out what Rush meant. She simply assumed that he was babbling incoherently while displaying hatred of Gypsies.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
The USA borrows money from communists. Now that’s a twist of fate in need of rectifying.
Obama brought him here to plead for more time, on the fed.gov loans.
Whose idea was it to borrow money from the Chicoms, anyway? When did this begin?
What is shameless is that for years we have been buying lots of cheap goods at Wal-Mart and the like to satisfy our greed for more STUFF and borrowing money from China to pay for it. Now we have what is call a severe “balance of payments” problem, which means we buy a lot more from China than we sell them. Thus, Obama, or any president has to make nice with Chinese and try to persuade them to buy a lot more of our STUFF.
You have to laugh that in calling for people to ignore Rush, she writes a column and provides audio for them hear what they should ignore.
Only the left thinks in such convoluted thinking.
Speaking of SNL skits...
“Cynthia, you ignorant slut...”

Who cares what a writer for the Atlanta Journal Constipation has to say anyway?
I’m beginning to think we should have let Japan kick Chinese ass for a few more years before we started taking back the Pacific during WWII.
Cynthia hasn’t looked in the mirror in a VERY long time!!!
If she did, she would see all of the things and more than she blames on Rush.
Dang dude!! I spewed my drink through my nose that was so funny!!
The comments at the site are very interesting. A good 85 to 90 % of the posters (some 180 or so comments) think that cynthia tucker is a Loonie Lefty Looser, which she obviously is.
I remember. Hu impersonator: at least you can kiss me before you do sex to me...
Moore tripe from the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation
