Borat Getting Slapped Around By Really Smart People
We kind of liked the movie when we downloaded it. People who didn't:
Debbie Schlussel: Ouch.
Chris Hitchens: Double ouch.
Charles Krauthammer: Triple ouch.
Eh, yeah - the implication that America is crawling with racists and anti-Semites is obviously false and misleading, especially compared to the countries that the people who sniff at this film consider to be beacons of tolerance. But it was still kind of funny. And as long-time readers know, if it passes the laugh test it's in. No exceptions. We've gotta have some consistency around here, and after we start talking about Olmert's new peace plan that's going to be few and far between.
