Sacha Baron Cohen Tries To Have Gay Sex With Ron Paul In New Movie

Sacha Baron Cohen, the guy who played "Borat" in that movie, and also had an HBO show... whatever, you smartasses all know him, and he's got a new movie coming out soon. It's about "Bruno," the gay Austrian TV host character who was also onAli G. It'll basically be the same movie asBorat, but instead of making fun of American racists, he makes fun of American homophobes (REAL AMERICANS.) And in one episode, he tries to seduce Dr. Ron Paul, the secret President of the United States on the Internet.

The Fat Cats at Slate got wind of this rumored scene and are now spreading it (w/ help from CIA/Likud/Neolibs ????) solely to ruin the reputation of Doctor Paul -- because they fear him:

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 grainy—not unlike a sex tape—as 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.

Hey Slate, Doctor Congressman Ron Paul doesn't *pretend* to read newspapers. Unless it's Daily Paul . Which he reads *seriously,* so nevermind.

Anyway, that's about the funniest thing that could ever happen.
