'Ali G' enrages rodeo crowd

[mark414]

Ali G comic Sacha Baron Cohen is being blamed for a hoax which enraged cowboys at a US rodeo.

The comedian's other alter ego, bumbling Kazakhstani Borat Sagdiyev, is the chief suspect behind the stunt at a rodeo at Salem, Virginia.

It started when a 'Middle Eastern man in an American flag shirt and a cowboy hat' was introduced to the crowd as Borat Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan, an immigrant touring America.

Speaking in broken English, the man said: "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards. And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq."

7. Can you imagine if it had been one of their own?

A white, christian, southern "cowboy" saying the same things...as opposed to an Arab man?? They would have been hooting and cheering him on, no doubt. :eyes:
