I dunno. That particular comment was a mistake really. by the way that is not to say that British actors don’t have talent, I meant that in a way that he has a British accent, so if he’s being another nationality it’s a little different, well. perhaps not. only it’s easy for an American to be american.

I have to disagree with you because Sacha Baron Cohen does have talent. I mean, first of all, he's British. Second.. Most actors jobs are simply to act well enough to convince the audience that he is really the character. An audience who is far away.In Borat and Bruno Cohen is in their faces, and successfully convincing them he is for real. He successfully convinced people that he is a gay fashion commenter and a Khazak news reporter, even through his insanities they still believe he is for real, though somewhat extremely odd, to the point where Khazakstan had a major problem with him misrepresenting the country.Love him or hate him he has talent, a LOT more talent than a bunch of fools on TV just being themselves while being incited to bring out the full blown drama queen in themselves.Personally I don't think Bruno was as funny as Borat at all. It had its moments but was no Borat, but I knew this even back then. When I heard Cohen was making Bruno I watched some clips of Bruno (because all these characters existed before the movies) and I thought "Bruno is no where near as funny as Borat."The movie was too-filled with blatant gay sex scenery and not enough funny moments like the people furniture scene which I thought was brilliant and almost split my side when they brought out the food.Anyhow, I am indeed soo sorry Ron Paul! That must have been horrifying ! haha. I honestly can't believe that Ron Paul stayed in there for as long as he did. I would've been out of there long before. @mrbateman:

At least then we could put an end to the countless arguments over religion. I “rejected Christ” a long time ago, but it’d be nice if he did come down and bring judgment.

He has no talent but he find a way to be successfull without talent. What Sasha Cohen does is the same brand of cheap worthless entertainment as reality shows.If you actually listen to Ron Paul interview, you will understand that Ron Paul is not 'too serious' and he is laughing about the situation (reading transcript can give you wrong impression).But still Cohen is just such a bad comedian, it is sad everybody should try to be diplomatic about his idiotic (strictly in a bad sense) pranks today.

His age and his conservative mindedness make him a target to produce such akwardness. He clearley is more uncomfortable than the average person about being seduced. Someone like Bill Clinton, mentioned in an earlier post, would be no good for this role because he runs of risk of laughing the whole incident off. If hositility and nerviousness towards homosexuals didn't exist, neither would this movie.Paul's, although understandable, outbursts play right into Cohen's hands. Paul saying he should've "Punched him in the nose" is completely rediculous though and a person who wants to speak on a national stage should not say such things, for many reasons.
