Borat's Bush whacking

January 14, 2005 - 11:47AM

 

Borat's done it again ... and nearly got lynched for ripping into George W Bush and the Star Spangled Banner.

 

Ali G star Sasha Baron Cohen posed as his Kazakhstani journalist character Borat at an American rodeo in Salem, Virginia.

 

He told patroitic locals their president drank blood, then sang a mangled version of the American national anthem.

 

"If he had been out there a minute longer, I think someone would have shot him," said local Robynn Jaymes.

 

According to The Roanoke Times, Cohen - introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev - was draped in an American flag shirt and black cowboy hat. :D

 

Editor & Publisher reports that a reader phoned the paper when she saw there was no story about the incident and said she there was a "semi-terrorist' figure who was making all sorts of threatening comments about President Bush," at the rodeo.

 

Cohen convinced organisers that he was filming a documentary about America.

 

He told them he supported the war on terrorism and said: "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards.

 

"And may George W Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq."

 

Then he asked if he could show his appreciation by singing the Star Spangled Banner. His version ended with the words "your home is the grave".

 

Cohen's rendition of the much-loved anthem was loudly booed by the crowd.

 

Rodeo organisers, realising they had been hoaxed, had Cohen escorted from the site.

 

This is not the first time Cohen has managed to stir a crowd.

 

Last season, "Borat" got a crowd in a Southern bar to sing a country song with the refrain, "throw the Jew down the well."

 

Cohen and his alter-ego Ali G have found fame in the US in the past year, since Da Ali G Show became a hit on US TV.
