Ali G Performs a Public Service
update Speaking of Ali G, you can BitTorrent or download lots of video, including the UK episodes, from this dude's site. You can't link directly, but click on "Ali G" on the left-side frame.
Sketch character Borat makes Christian extremist James Broadwater (R-Miss.) look like a moron on Da Ali G Show.
The Congressional candidate makes himself look like even more of an idiot with his response: "[T]his stunt pulled by HBO is just one more reason why I believe that the liberal, anti-God media needs to be brought under the strict control of the FCC".
Incidentally, he says he favors limited government (something all Republicans at least give lip-service), but here's why:
There are biblical limitations on government, and we need to live within those limits in order to be a free and happy people.
Just as marvelous is the summary of his views on education:
Our Founders knew that what we need to provide quality education is [the true Christian] religion first, morality second, and learning (or education) third.
(via candid)
Did you see that episode? Damn, that was some seriously funny nonsense. Cohen's ability to goad people into hanging themselves with their own prejudiced, offensive words is bordering on brilliant....
"He will crush his opponents. He will be powerfull like Stalin...If you no vote for him, he TAKE power."
