just enough anti-Semitism

Sacha Baron Cohen hits Australia:

His Sydney trip saw him mobbed in the street, but mocked for using a teleprompter to deliver his ‘off-the-cuff’ witticisms.

Today Borat blamed censorship for the device, before delivering word-perfect facsimilies of the previous day’s humour.

“My government very keen that there is control over words I say,” he said. “There was much controversy in my country over amount of anti-semitisms in my moviefilmso Kazakh censor become involved. And after, he allowed the film to be released after deciding there was just enough anti-semitism.”

Sounds like the editor of the London Review of Books who oversaw the publication of Walt and Mearsheimer’s “The Israel Lobby.”

[Mary Kay Wilmers] admits now, however, that it would have been better to use a lower case ‘l’ for the word ‘lobby’ - to have avoided the risk of being misunderstood.

Too late for that, isn’t it?
