Libertarians Gone Wild Ron Paul's insane cameo in the upcoming Bruno movie (Too funny!)

The scene with Paul, filmed in early 2008, occurs about halfway through the movie, after Bruno gets the idea that you have to make a sex tape to become famous. (Stop reading here if you want to see the movie unspoiled.)
Cut to a nondescript hotel suite where Bruno sits across from Ron Paul. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, a light blows out on the set. Bruno apologizes for the technical difficulties and suggests that he and Paul wait in the other room while the crew fixes the light.
The other room, it turns out, is a bedroom. The lighting is low, and the film is now grainynot unlike a sex tapeas it cuts to a hidden spy camera. There's a spread of Champagne and strawberries and caviar on a table.
Bruno tells Paul to make himself comfortable. Paul sits down on the bed. Bruno turns on some music and starts dancing. Paul is visibly uneasy but doesn't say anything at first. He picks up a newspaper and pretends to read it. "You can tell at each weird gay detail, he [chalks] it up to, This guy is European," says one of the attendees.
Finally, Paul asks what's going on. "Don't worry about it, Dr. Paul," says Bruno, who then unbuckles his belt and drops his pants. At that point, Paul snaps up and storms out of the room.
As Paul is walking away, you can hear him say, several times, something like, "This guy is a queer!" "The word queer comes out of his mouth three or four times," says an attendee.

It could be worse, at least Paul doesn't do interviews with conspiracy theory nuts like Alex Jones.
This is Bruno.. now why would he think anything is wrong with an interview with this upstanding young man?

Baron Cohen is a genius. I can’t believe people still haven’t been clued in to his antics, but the way he fools even some of the most powerful people in America is amazing.

Wow, this is almost as damaging as his frequent Alex Jones appearances.

Sounds stupid.
The Movie or Ron Paul?
Saying both is an acceptable answer...

early 2008, he did a cameo in a Borat film while running for President? No worse than showing up on Alex Jones I suppose.

Note Borat as the Bruno character in post 10. Dare I suggest that for a politician, much less a Presidential candidate, to give this guy an interview in a hotel room, apparently solo, could be inviting blackmail? Needless to say a photo exists of Ron, sitting on a bed, with Bruno pulling his pants down, he should be glad he’s only being made a fool of in a movie.

The scene in the Borat movie where he was using street talk (and dress) to try to get a hotel room had me laughing to the point of tears. The Jews turning into cockroaches also had me howling.
The hotel room scene with his friend caused me to have to fast forward, though.
