THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

Rush Limbaugh's mock imitation of the Chinese language has stirred a backlash among Asian-American lawmakers at the state and federal level.
California state Sen. Leland Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, is leading a fight in demanding an apology from Limbaugh.
In recent days, the state lawmaker has rallied civil rights groups in a boycott of companies such asa [sic] Pro Flowers [sic], Sleep Train, and Domino's Pizza that advertise on Limbaugh's talk show.
During a Jan. 19 program, Limbaugh said there was no translation of President Hu Jintao's speech during a visit to the White House. He launched into a 20-second imitation of the Chinese leader's dialect.
Shortly after condemning Limbaugh's remarks, Yee says he received racist death threats to his San Francisco and Sacramento offices.
1. When PILLHEAD speaks -- morons listen! 2. PILLHEAD has trouble enough with English, especially when He uses DEMOCRAT AS AN ADJECTIVE. 3. Is a boycott of ProFlowers and Sleep Train going to help?
P. S. at 5:41 p. m. Yes, yes, we know, liberals specialize in professional outrage, but if PILLHEAD hadn't decided to incite them -- or must we go through the mind-numbing debate of the last three weeks all over again?
