Last night, Stephen Colbert helped his viewers understand just what Rush Limbaugh was saying when Limbaugh imitated the Chinese president’s language with a string of sounds that might have featured in a movie or radio show from the first half of the last century.
“My favorite doughnut is every doughnut,” Colbert’s translation read. “When I stand up, my chair smells like a cat shelter.”

Limbaugh had criticized the slow translation of Chinese President Hu Jinato’s remarks from his joint press conference with President Obama, wondering aloud how anyone in the world could understand what was being said. Colbert pretended to agree.
“Who on Earth can understand that kung pao jibber-jabber,” Colbert joked. “Off the top of my head, I can only think of 1.5 billion people.”
