According to Palin’s post, she was contacted via a speakers bureau for a “legit opportunity" to honor American veterans and contribute to a Showtime historical documentary. She said that once she arrived, she was met by someone who she presumes was Cohen, heavily disguise as a disabled U.S. veteran, "fake wheelchair and all.”
“I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s [sic] disrespect and sarcasm — but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out,” Palin wrote. “The disrespect of our US military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse … Mock politicians and innocent public personalities all you want, if that lets you sleep at night, but HOW DARE YOU mock those who have fought and served our country. Truly sick.”
Sacha Baron Cohen pranking Sarah Palin?
Did I travel back 10 years when I wasn't looking?
idk I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin but it sounds kinda fucked up to pretend to be a wounded vet like that to get laughs
Sounds like he was doing just that, Sarah.
It's also worth pointing out that he got Dick Cheney to autograph a "waterboard kit."
politicians LOVE the "respect and support our troops!!!" schtick yet the legislative body of this country has shown time and time again that they don't give a rat's ass about veterans.
The President of the United States has mocked a vet with brain cancer multiple times.
There's a world of difference between pretending to be a wounded vet to get laughs at their expense, and pretending to be a wounded vet to set up a joke at the expense of a withered old hag.
The real joke here is how little politicians care about the troops.
Just look at the VA. Not long though, or you might become physically ill.
i was watching some borat clips with my brother a few weeks ago and was saying theres no way he could get away with making another show or movie like it, because people would catch on. very happy to see he's pulled it off yet again and can't wait to see.

It's almost like these rightwing politicians are a bunch of idiots
It'd be pretty great if the entire show is filled with rightwing idiots being pranked.
