...Haddad decided right away that Borat was not ready for prime time in most of the Middle East, in part because it portrays Kazakhstan as a country rife with incest, rape and disco dancing. "Many of these countries, especially in the Gulf, have economic ties to Khazakstan, and the idea of turning a poor Muslim country into something ridiculous would be insulting.

...abortion in all cases. However, the progressive watchdog group Media Matters points out that although the spokesman said Senator McCain would have signed the South Dakota abortion bill, the spokesman continued to say that the Senator would have taken steps to see that “exceptions of rape, incest, or life of the mother were included” in the bill. Once again, McCain stakes out a clearly defined position on a complex and controversial issue and shows that one need not sacrifice conservative principles while engaging in pragmatic politics.
