Bush to hold talks on Ali G creator after diplomatic row

US President George Bush is to host White House talks on British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

Cohen, 35, creator of Ali G, has infuriated the Kazakhstan government with his portrayal of Borat, a bumbling Kazakh TV presenter.

And now a movie of Borat's adventures in the US has caused a diplomatic incident.

The opening scene, which shows Borat lustily kissing his sister goodbye and setting off for America in a car pulled by a horse, had audiences in stitches when it was first shown last week.

[Marnieworld]

8. You beat me!

That scene is priceless! Of course now it will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. :hi:

[ChickMagic]

39. That's a heck of an earworm

Surreal

[wordpix]

25. NiceAss, it's a new trendy label, lol

[Bucky]

27. I think Bush calls it "our freedom"

And you know you have it on right when the photographer says "smile"

[NightHawk63]

43. I thought that was a banana hammock (nt)

[Hoping4Change]

4. Sorry for digressing

but what sort of beets do you wash?

[Beetwasher]

9. All Of Them

Of course.

[Marnieworld]

5. what does the US have to do with this? He's a Brit

"In my country there is problem
And the problem is transport
Throw transport down the well!
So my country can be free!"

These people have got to get a sense of humor. Ali G, Cohen, Borat, whatever he calls himself is a genius. I love how he creates situations to observe people almost from a sociological experimental perspective. He's challenging and he reveals people how they are. Plus he's super silly, the highest compliment from me.

[Beetwasher]

11. Funniest Show Ever

I have never laughed so hard and so consistently at a tv show in my life than I do when I watch Ali G.

[janx]

18. Where and when is this broadcast? n/t

[Beetwasher]

20. HBO, But Apparently He's Got A Movie Coming Out In Nov.

The show is called "The Ali G Show". Borat is just one character he plays on the show.

[helderheid]

6. BWAHAHAHAH!!!! Love ya Borat!

[RedStateShame]

10. All You Need to Know: Run and see this film before it's banned.

[jkshaw]

13. The Sacha Photo

Isn't it interesting how Sacha's body hair is so region-specific?

[skypilot]

14. I love how this guy stays in character:

In the video, Borat said, "In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments, I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my Government's decision to sue this Jew.

[Beetwasher]

21. LOL!

Yeah, he never breaks character for anything! He's a friggin' genius!

[janx]

15. ROFL!

President Nazarbayev will visit the White House and the Bush family compound in Maine when he flies in for talks that will include the fictional character Borat.
:rofl:


So Cohen is the actor who portrays Borat? The one with the kinky swimwear?!

[Beetwasher]

19. Yes, That's Him In Character As Borat

n/t

[warrens]

17. Borat on Bush recently at a rodeo

I hope they kill all Iraqis, down to the lizards. I want to see Mr. Bush drink their children's blood.

Evidently, his people had to get him out of there pronto, after he sang the national anthem, closing with "and the home of the graves."

I would have killed to have seen that.

[LeftishBrit]

22. OMG, this is hysterical (esp. GWB feeling the need to get involved!)

It's funny how scared some of these people are of fictional characters!!!

[bleedingheart]

23. this statement released by "Borat"...is hilarious...

"In the video, Borat said, "In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments, I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my Government's decision to sue this Jew. "

[Beetwasher]

24. ROFL!!!! More:

"Since the 2003 Tuleyakiv reforms, Kazakhstan is as civilized as any other country in the world.

"Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hats, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old."

[CollegeDUer]

26. Sorry, I find it all too funny

It's the "comedy" part of the Bush tragicomedy.

[Oreo]

29. Thatsa niiiiice!

Good to see Bush is on top of the important things.

Borat is hilarious..... is good yes?

[Mark E. Smith]

30. Pray that George Bush is dumb enough to discuss this ..

.. in a public forum.

It MUST happen.

[wicket]

32. Are you kidding me????

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Deb]

33. Does this mean secret US prison camps are in Kazakhstan?

Unbelievable, I can't think of another diplomatic reason for a "war time Pres." to entertain this.

Sure...... "Come Visit Kazakhstan" :eyes:

[MisterP]

44. need to keep a friendly Central Asia, ya'know

against Pootie-poot and India and Iran and an uprising-filled China. They might demand WAGES and environmental and old-age protection! Nazarbayev's rival last year was killed and they have lots of oil, Uzbekistan's Karimov boils people and guns down protests, and "Türkmenbashi" names all the months after himself or his mum. He also has "investments" in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus countries.

[ComerPerro]

34. He was great in Taladega Nights and Madagascar

[bleedingheart]

36. "Who would like a cookie?"

"Feel free to bask in my glow!"

[Oreo]

35. Why was this moved to the lounge?

Bush is taking time out of his schedule.. time which could have been spent at a soldier's funeral so he can talk about Borat

http://www.boratmovie.com

The trailer is hilarious

[Beetwasher]

37. Actually, I Personally Would Prefer That Bush Stick To This Sort Of Thing

Not that he won't fuck this up too, but still.

[ComerPerro]

38. The amazing thing is the number of people who call him "Ali G"

as though that's his actual name

[buddhamama]

40. shouldn't Bush

learn to talk first? :D he'll embarrass himself as usual i am sure. he's probably wondering if the movie comes in book form, preferably something with pictures and easy to understand words. :hi:

[Beetwasher]

42. Nursultan Nazarbayev

That's the President of Kazakhstan's name. Can you imagine Chimpy trying to pronounce it???? That might be funnier than Borat. He'll probably call him "Nursy" and insult him horribly by asking if they really do throw jews down wells. :hi:

[redqueen]

41. Nice butt!

:rofl:

46. Never seen the show although I recall seeing in on the cable menu....

..as I searched for something to watch (I have no idea which channel was airing it). This perked my curiousity. Does anyone know which, if any, American cable channels are showing reruns of Ali G?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Shakespeare]

47. YouTube has countless Borat clips....

if you're not on dial-up, that'd be your best bet for seeing the Khazak stud in action. Just do a simple search on "Borat," and you'll be watching for a long time...

[Bossy Monkey]

48. HBO n/t

49. Thanks...I'll check it out
