Best Practical Joke Ever
This has to be the best practical joke ever. Evidently George Bush has to meet with President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan to diplomatically smooth some wrinkles caused by a movie featuring Ali G creator/performer Sacha Baron Cohen. Apparently, the problem is the US has decided to not censor Baron Cohen’s movie based on his Kazakh-based character, Borat, and the Kazakhs are afraid that Borat will MAKE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY LOOK BAD. Back when Kazakhstan threatened to sue Cohen, “Borat†responded on a video saying, “I’d like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my Government’s decision to sue this Jew.†This is awesome. Bush has to have diplomatically talk about shit with people that are more fickle and mentally repressed than he is.
