In a bit for [a Showtime] series,[Sacha Baron] Cohen posed as a disabled military vet and interviewed [Sarah Palin]. In a lengthy Facebook post yesterday, Palin wrote, “We were duped. Ya got me, Sacha.” She also called him evil, exploitative and sick. “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 [sic], disrespect and sarcasm – but finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen’s chagrin,” she wrote. “The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle-class Americans via Cohen’s foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse.”
Today, Cohen’s character, Billy Wayne Ruddick, Jr. PhD, tweeted his own lengthy letter at Palin. In the missive, he identified himself as the founder, CEO and accountant of Truthbrary.org. “I did NOT say I was a War Vet,” he wrote. “I was in the service – not military, but United Parcel, and I only fought for my country once – when I shot a Mexican who came onto my property. (Coincidentaly [sic], just like our Great President, I was sadly prevented from joining the regular army on account of bone spurs bein [sic] discovered in my testies [sic]).”
He also kept the ruse going. “I do believe you have been hit by a bullshit grenade and are now bleedin’ FAKE NEWS,” he wrote. “You used to hunt the most dangerous animals in the country, like wolves and people on welfare. So why hunt a fine citizen journalist like myself? I DEMAND an APOLOGY.”
People reports that Palin exited the interview when “Ruddick” asked a question about what he believed to be a government-funded sex change for Chelsea Clinton. The magazine’s source alleged that Cohen was baiting Palin into espousing homophobia. In her public statement, Palin alleged that “Cohen/CBS/Showtime” deposited her and her daughter at the wrong Washington, D.C. airport after the interview “knowing that we’ll miss our flights back home to Alaska.” She added, “By the way, my daughter thinks you’re a piece of ****, Sacha.” The asterisks are hers.
The Guardian reports that the series will also reportedly feature interviews with Bernie Sanders and Dick Cheney.
Sarah Palin
Also....Roy Moore:

Yeah, I don't think he's got a winnable case. Unless he can appeal it far enough to get to Trump's Supreme Court. And I think he'd have to get England to extradite Cohen.
Actually, it's a little frightening that these political "leaders" can be duped so easily. (I'm also looking at you, Diaper Don.)
