    Imagine if SBC had better politics and he used that character and his brand of irreverence to get some real mask off reactions about the current situation.

        Borat and What Is America had many scenes that explored the American zeitgeist in their respective eras. WIA had some funny moments like when he got some Republican politician to say dumb shit and got Dick Cheney to sign a water board jug. It’s offensive enough for liberals to seem like they’re not voting, but not radical enough to really “expose” anything.*

        *Though one time he got some hotel manager to reveal that he can procure underage girls. They reported it to the FBI, but he likely reported one of their own agents.
