Colbert: Limbaugh ripped off my offensive Chinese impersonation

[HarveyDarkey]

Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert Thursday joined Asian Americans who were infuriated at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for mocking the way Chinese President Hu Jintao speaks.

The conservative commentator had lampooned Hu -- who he called the "ChiCom dictator" -- over his joint news conference Wednesday with US President Barack Obama that was marred by a delay in translation.

"He was speaking and they weren't translating. They normally translate every couple of words, but Hu Jintao was just going, 'ching chong, ching chong, chong,'" Limbaugh said, continuing his imitation at length.

"When I hear Chinese or Japanese, it sounds like all the same word," he added. "And I can't comprehend of anybody understanding it."

"Exactly," Colbert exclaimed. "Who on Earth could understand that Kung Pao jibber jabber? Off the top of my head, I can only thing of 1.5 billion people."
