MoDo and Borat, your morning snack
Over at Tennessee Guerilla Woman, Egalia has Maureen Dowd’s latest piece, this one comparing humorist Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat character (a misogynistic, antisemitic, and generally crude form of life) to Bush’n’CheneyCo. JurassicPork has breached the NY Times firewall as well. JP’s Friday roundup has a wealth of good stuff, and Egalia kept me reading for the last thirty minutes.
Read about Borat’s White House “visit” here. And from Reuters:
Secret Service agents turned away British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as the boorish, anti-Semitic journalist, when he tried to invite “Premier George Walter Bush” to a screening of his upcoming movie, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”
Also invited to the screening: O.J. Simpson, “Mel Gibsons” and other “American dignitaries.”
Cohen’s stunt was timed to coincide with an official visit by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is scheduled to meet with Bush on Friday.
Okay, gotta go edit me some romance.
