Why is The President of the United States dealing with this?

US President George Bush is to host White House talks on British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

Cohen, 35, creator of Ali G, has infuriated the Kazakhstan government with his portrayal of Borat, a bumbling Kazakh TV presenter. And now a movie of Borat's adventures in the US has caused a diplomatic incident. Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev is to fly to the US to meet President Bush in the coming weeks and on the agenda will be his country's image.

President Nazarbayev has confirmed his government will buy "educational" TV spots and print advertisements about the "real Kazakhstan" in a bid to save the country's reputation before the film is released in the US in November.

From the Daily Mail: Bush to hold talks on Ali G creator after diplomatic row, story has quasi NSFW picture.

SBC is a British comedian of questionable talent that few people have ever heard of, in a movie that very few will actually see. The stupid little country should chill out or go bother Tony Blair. No one knows their country is real and after the movie comes out, no one will know the country is real. I understand that in the eyes of many, that the U.S is from where all bad things come, I can see that, but in this case? how the hell did they score The President of the UNITED STATES to do their movie flogging? Who is the publicist at work here? They are all powerful!
