Borat Tells Kazakhs "So Sue Me!"
Reuters reports,
Sacha Baron Cohen, who plays the spoof Kazakh television reporter in his “Da Ali G Show,” incurred the wrath of Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry this month after appearing as Borat at the annual MTV Europe Music Awards.
He described shooting dogs for fun and said his wife could not leave Kazakhstan as she was a woman. The Foreign Ministry said his behavior was unacceptable and that Cohen might be serving political orders to tarnish Kazakhstan’s reputation.
Responding in character as Borat, Cohen, who is Jewish, said: “I like to state, I have no connection with Mr Cohen and fully support my government’s position to sue this Jew.”

In other Borat news, the recently-released DVD of the second season of Ali G features a creepy extra, “Borat Hunts in Texas,” with Borat interviewing a hunter who complains about Jews, speaks approvingly of Nazi Germany, and agrees when Borat says it would be nice to be able to hunt both deer and Jews in America. Yikes…
