still drumming this up?

Pepe, no one's drummin' anything. We know you love Kerry, but it's just good to hear and see the way Kerry said it rather than get it from reporters, right or left.

Pepe, beautiful cartoon.
MFT, Pepe don't like Kerry. He's waiting for the second coming of Stalin.

Hmmm....that would explain his hard on for Saddam

Nah, I think Pepe really loves Jean Francois. After all, his first cousin is a dyed-in-the-wool Frenchie pinko-leftie. I mean, the very definition of it.

Ah, the purges, the famine. Where have the good ol'days gone?

Don't forget the antiSemitism too, Pepe. Wouldn't be able to have those old fashioned pogroms with out it.

Somehow, I really don't find him that funny.

I think Pepe may be right. The American media has been doing a helluva job in shamelessly promoting this Borat figure. So far I've seen Alan Colmes, John Stewart, David Letterman, and MSNBC interview him, all within a span of about two days. Borat made his off-colored jokes, and all these figures responded with laughter, often in self-defense.

It's oversaturation. It'll continue to dominate, but there'll reach a point where people are just gonna be sick of hearing others impersonate him.

Personally, I get enough of it from the little 4 or 5 minute spots on YouTube (just type in "Borat" to the search engine, and you'll have enough to keep you busy for days). I'm not going to see it in the theatre. That's just more of a dose than I care for in one sitting.

i nearly wet my pants reading this. Don't let it happen again.

Sorry Pepe. I forget that the majority of academics are easily disturbed when consistency is disrupted, when Chaos usurps Order. I'll try to be more careful next time, or at least provide an easier transition.

mft - i am a terrorist, not an academic.

Right-right. My mistake again.
