[history]
May 14, 2003 -- THE bad blood between HBO and feminist author Naomi Wolf continues to boil. Some months ago, faux-black British satirist Ali G interviewed Wolf for his "Da Ali G Show," in which he rankled the former Al Gore image consultant by bragging that he called his girlfriend "bitch" in bed, among other feminist-flustering remarks. In a subsequent interview with New York magazine, the comic branded Wolf the "world's most famous lesbian" (Wolf is in fact married with kids). The humorless Wolf later wrote an op-ed piece in the London Sunday Times saying she had called an HBO lawyer to complain of Ali G's "racist humor" and implied that she got the interview shelved in the U.S. But an HBO spokeswoman insists the "decision to not use the Naomi Wolf piece was made prior to her phone call to HBO." Wolf isn't the first unsuspecting celebrity ambushed by Ali G (alter-ego of Cambridge-educated Sacha Cohen): Newt Gingrich, James Baker, Brent Scowcroft and Marlin Fitzwater have all grown exasperated by Ali G's lame-brained line of questioning.

Mizz Wolf is typical of her kind...no sense of humour and a sourpuss.
Ali G is hysterical.

Not to mention Ralph Nader, who is now considering a lawsuit.

He's funny, but he's a knockoff of Howard Stern side-kick Stuttering John.
She's still a nasty little beatch for calling a lawyer.

I have a secret crush on Julian Epstein, so I'll let that comment slide.

This show is funny...ONCE. After that, you just end up feeling embarrassed for the unwitting "interviewee"

Traditionally, the jester got to make fun of everybody- even the king.

A feminist without a sense of humor? We're shocked, shocked! Obviously a vast conspiracy by the Eeeeevil Male Patriarchy.
