Sarah Palin says she was duped into interview with Sacha Baron Cohen

Sarah Palin is calling on Sacha Baron Cohen to donate all the profits from his upcoming Showtime series to military veterans’ groups after saying she was duped into an interview with the comedian when he pretended to be a wounded warrior.

The Daily Mail reports that the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee said she unknowingly participated in an interview for what turned out to be Cohen’s just-announced satirical series, “Who is America?”

“This ‘legit opportunity’ to honor American Vets and contribute to a ‘legit Showtime historical documentary’ was requested of me via a speakers bureau,” Palin said. Palin, 54, says she traveled to Washington, D.C., to speak with Cohen, who she claims “had heavily disguised himself as a disabled US Veteran, fake wheelchair and all.” The "Borat" star is known for disguising himself to conduct interviews with unsuspecting subjects.

“Out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform, I sat through a long ‘interview’ full of Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm — but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin,” Palin said. “The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse,” she added.

The former Alaska governor said Cohen, whom she dubbed “shallow Sacha boy,” should go ahead and air the footage. “Experience tells us it will be heavily edited, not pretty, and intended to humiliate,” Palin said.

She then extended a “challenge” to Cohen, CBS and Showtime: “Donate all proceeds to a charitable group that actually respects and supports American Vets.” “Mock politicians and innocent public personalities all you want, if that lets you sleep at night, but HOW DARE YOU mock those who have fought and served our country,” Palin said.

It’s so effing funny! When he trolls Bernie about his 1/10th of 1% stuff and when he was playing the liberal talking about his daughter and the flag I couldn’t stop laughing. The guns for kids bit at the end was scary though...

Bleh this was moved into Movie and TV.

Ok, when he got the art gallery broad to donate a pube to his paintbrush, I laughed pretty hard.

I was thinking more that she's fine and wanted to get a good look at those pubes.

Overall a meh show. Has some potential but they spend so much time with random people from the artist and the dinner party which I found uninteresting, and less time with Bernie Sanders which had so much more potential for greatness.

The free bleeding flag bit was legit.

The brown and white paint is better.

How can people be so dumb to fall for that.
