"The Mandarin equivalent of Rush Limbaugh."

Over on ESPN.com, Jim Caple has a look at China a year and a half before the Olympics. Apparently, traffic is an issue.

You know that opening scene of "Office Space," during which Peter is stuck in traffic and notices he's being passed by an elderly man with a walker? This was worse. In 20 minutes we crawled perhaps one kilometer. And all the while, my driver squirmed in his seat and listened to the Mandarin equivalent of Rush Limbaugh. I have no idea what the broadcaster was saying, but he sounded so angry I can only assume he must have been bitching about the traffic.
