I will be on FOX News Channel’s “Your World With Neil Cavuto,” today (Friday) at 4:40 p.m. Eastern and rebroadcast 1:40 a.m. Eastern (late Friday Night/early Saturday Morning) to discuss my review of the “Borat” movie.
The whole point of the movie is to make fun of stereotypes. No one is safe. If you followed Sacha’s career at all, and possibly even did some, dare I say, research, you’d realize that he’s been praciticing this schtick for YEARS!!! in england, on BRITS!!!!!! That’s right, it was the british that were made to look like fools, LONG before americans were. The reason for the move to americans is because the buzz about the show and the skit was relatively small, so no one knew about it. Obviously, you can’t expect a sequel.
My point is, it’s not like he just came out attacking americans, the brits had their turn first.
YOU WROTE, “No one is safe.” WRONG. THE WHOLE POINT OF THE MOVIE WAS TO ATTACK CONSERVATIVES AND RED STATE AMERICA TYPES. BUT FOR THE SHORT SCENE WITH THE FEMINISTS, LIBERALS WERE VERY SAFE FROM SASCHA BARON COHEN.

Hey Debbie,
I finally heard your voice! I was listening to your review with Cavuto on FOX on Sirius this afternoon–I couldn’t get to a TV–darn. Great to hear you–nice work!

Cavuto seemed disappointed by your comments Debbie. So I’m sure George W. Bush likes the movie. If you know what I mean.
Cavuto, Hannity, Limbaugh are Bush’s puppies.

Will have to catch you on the 1:40a rebroadcast! Missed the other one. Frankly, I don’t care if Sacha has made a career of making fun of stereotypes – in the end he gets to laugh all the way to bank no matter how many people like/dislike his movie. But really, it’s getting so beyond played-out already. Do we need another movie with this anti-America theme masquerading as entertainment while the Dixie Chick’s flick is still out there bashing Bush and now Babel with, well whadaya know, yet more “America sucks” vibe? That’s three movies with nothing positive to say! Give me a break already! I think I’ll stay home this weekend and watch football . . . .

We’ll be watching.
Debbie, please, if it’s possible, expose the latest of what you know about the “religion of peace,” and those “peace loving” Muslims of Michigan.
People need to know the truth whenever there’s a chance to say it. And TV is a great medium.
