Because I like to share the laughter I'm sharing this true item with you. This little gem came to my inbox this morning in one of my State Dept. briefings. I think its an unbelievably funny story you'll love.

US President George Bush will host White House talks with Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev when he visits the US next month. On the agenda is British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

It seems that Cohen, 35, creator of Ali G, has infuriated the Kazakhstan government with his portrayal of Borat, a bumbling Kazakh TV presenter. Cohen scheduled movie release of BoratÂ’s adventures in November has caused a major diplomatic incident.

President Nazarbayev has confirmed his government will buy "educational" TV spots and print advertisements about the "real Kazakhstan" in a bid to save his countryÂ’s reputation before the film is released in the US in November. President Nazarbayev will visit the White House and the Bush family compound in Maine when he flies in for talks that will include the fictional character Borat.

To understand what the hoopla is all about (and to get a few chuckles in the process) please view the trailers for the movie (see worksafe trailer 1 below and trailer 2).

Let me know what you think about the trailers. Should Bush waste his time on this or not?

Yes, I'm feeling better thanks to the support I've received and the humorous items I get in the mail. Enjoy!
