did her little bit of imitation Chinese? If not, then shut the hell up?
As to the crap that inspired this post:
"I want an apology at the very least," said New York Assemblywoman Grace Meng, a Queens Democrat. "Making fun of any country's leader is just very disrespectful for someone who says he is a proud American."
Madam, I'm a proud American, too; and I insult and make fun of communist dictators at every opportunity. For that matter, we have a long history of making fun of foreign leaders. So screw you.

I agree completely.
Now, I'll say it's bad form to mock allies, and rude to mock actual democratic leaders of same, especially (unless they've actually done some specific mock-worthy action).
But non-allies, despots, dictators?
Fair game, open season, no limit on the mockery.
(That said, it's not-very-classy to mock Hu for "being Chinese", rather than mocking him for being an authoritarian bastard.
Just like the problem with Hitler wasn't that he was a German, and the problem with the Soviets wasn't that they were from Russia.)
