Limbaugh has made a career out of offending as many people as he possibly can – but 1.35 billion people in one day could be a record...........

American right-wing shock jock Rush Limbaugh is in trouble again – this time for outraging the Chinese community by mocking the speech of Hu Jintao on his talk radio show.
The presenter was complaining about how Fox News had not provided an on-screen translation when the Chinese president was speaking during TV coverage of his visit to Washington. He then launched into a 16-second long impression of Hu, which consisted almost entirely of the words ching, chong and cha, with a smattering of yelps and squeals.
His extraordinary performance began when he told his audience: "Normally they translate every couple of words, but Hu Jintao was just going ching chong, ching chong chong, cha..."
When he had finished he explained: "That's the closest I can get."
Condemnation did not take long to arrive. California State Senator Leland Yee of San Francisco, a liberal city that Limbaugh is unlikely to have much affection for, immediately called on the shock jock to apologise .........

El Rushbo is talking about it right now.
LOL! Now the faux outrage will begin! Oh my goodness, this is quite funny!
Countdown to asian outrage begins shortly.
It’s probably best not to imitate Rosie O’Donnell. Just sayin’.
RUSH, to bad the people aren’t complaining about Megyn Kelly insulting Fox viewers.
Forbes: I wouldn’t want to be Daley (new COS) after the glitches at this presser.(para)
Kelly: yeah some of our viewers probably will blame the Chinese. (para)
Frankly I am getting sick and tired of being insulted by FOX news readers and “showhosts”.
I wonder if now the US will ban Weird Al’s “Cats in the Kettle at the Peking Moon” like Canada banned “Money for Nothing” ?
Haha-”Right wing shock-jock”
Now, there’s an impartial characterization.
As long as he doesn’t upset the Sirry Mongorians.
That one and a song called San.
Do an impression in a southern accent as the stereotypical idiot, and you are a-okay to go though.
American super-star Rush Limbaugh ...
ML/NJ
Yup - and he sure didn’t sound like he’s “in trouble” or that he’s even giving it a second thought.
Did this same “community” announce their outrage when Southpark did this, repeatedly?
I was LMAO when he did this.
No, there was no political mileage to get out that.
“Make a special Won-Ton soup for him...”
Mountain...mole hill...
