"...And your home in the graaaave!"

Ali G, as Kazakhstani TV reporter Borat, almost started a riot recently when he sang the national anthem at a rodeo in Roanoke, Virginia. CBS News reports:

The comedian, wearing an American flag shirt and a black cowboy hat, was introduced to the crowd as none other than Borat Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan.

Cohen first mocked the U.S. war effort in Iraq and then delivered a mutilated version of the national anthem.

"I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards," Cohen told the crowd in broken English. "And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq."

The crowd began booing, but Cohen pressed on. Instead of telling the audience to stand, he urged everyone to be seated and then belted out a version of the anthem that ended with the words, "Your home in the grave."

That's so genius in so many ways.
