Steven Colbert says Rush Limbaugh ripped off his wildly insensitive Chinese character, "Ching Chong Ding Dong," with the conservative commentator's imitation of Chinese President Hu Jintao.

Limbaugh was criticized this week for his extremely drawn-out impersonation -- which turns out actually not to have even been in Mandarin (!) -- during a tirade about the lack of line-by-line translations of the president's remarks.

On Thursday's "Colbert Report," Colbert made his own outrage known. Watch the video:
