Rush Limbaugh Laughs At Critics: My Chinese Translation “Was A Service”
During yesterday’s joint press conference with President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao, Rush Limbaugh was bored and frustrated that a translation was not being provided, so instead he did an impression of the foreign leader reciting a few “ching ching chongs” in random succession. As Rush likely predicted, his performance set off an outrage and today he addressed his critics directly.
Rush laughed as he discussed complaints from those on the left who declared his 18 seconds of pretend Chinese to be racist, bigoted, and insulting to over 3,000 years of Chinese cultural history. He also wondered why in the old days “Sid Caesar was called a comic genius for impersonating foreign languages that he couldn’t speak” but today when he does it, people angrily demand an apology. In fact, Rush praised himself for doing a remarkable job and claimed since no one else was translating President Hu, Rush’s translation “was a service.”
When Rush read the statement of one displeased official who suggested Rush’s “comments” were sadly indicative of his bigotry, Rush humorously wondered how “ching ching chong” could be considered a comment, unless somebody translated his words and they unintentionally ended up being offensive. However, even in that instance one should not expect Rush to be concerned if someone might be offended.
