...haven't met Borat yet, well, you're just like the President. The English-mangling, sister-snogging, horse-urine-drinking (and fictional) Kazakh journalist played by British comedian SACHA BARON COHEN is on the wackiest publicity tour in history for his movie Borat. Last week he caused a minor security kerfuffle when he tried to personally deliver a screening invitation to "President George Walter Bush."
