Sorry — I didn’t think it was funny at all.

It wasn’t that he was making fun of Hu, as much as he was mocking someones language. So he didn’t understand it. So what.

I’m not Chinese but I have studied it as well as French. Languages have respected beginnings and purposes for a people. To mock some ones personal language is a low blow —— and beneath Rush.

I told him so, in an e-mail. I’m a ditto-head, but I don’t follow blindly. He should apologize.
