Toledo Blaize

Reporting Rodney Wilson Toledo (TMS) - Tonight, in a shocking development, unrivaled in media history, it appears that British born comedian Sacha Baron Cohen has fooled America and the entire world once again. Mr. Cohen has stepped forward to speak with Rodney Wilson of The Toldeo Blaize and revealed the amazing - that Barrack Hussein Obama, the Democratic party presidential candidate with the seemingly insurmountable lead in this final weekend of the American Presidential campaign is not a real person at all, merely another character in Mr. Cohen's chameleon-like repertoire.

"I never expected that the charade could continue to this point," Mr. Cohen spoke earlier today to Rodney Wilson.

"It was meant to be only a prank to help promote my new Bruno movie...but then the character actually started to succeed in the primaries and of course, we decided to just see where it would all go." This stunning revelation has thrown the American political scene into a remarkable turmoil unknown in America's two hundred plus year history. Mr. Cohen is not an American citizen.

"I mean, there was actually no way to expect that things would have snow-balled like this," continued the British funnyman. "It was merely taking Ali G and Borat a step further. Who would have thought that this character, an extreme left-wing parody of black angst could be taken so seriously?"

"We created as ridiculous a biography for the 'Barry' character as we could. He was born in Hawaii to a white-mom and a non-existent African father. He grew up in Indonesia, and then he attended college all over the place and wound up spending twenty years sitting in the pew of a radical liberation church! That's a socialist church!" Mr. Cohen exclaimed. "He hung around with ex-weather underground terrorists and we even put Che Guevara posters in his campaign headquarters early-on, thinking no one would take it all as real!" Cohen continued, shaking his head. "Something is seriously wrong in America, they just don't understand Satire!"

Mr. Cohen, the British satirist is known throughout the world for his remarkable array of ethnic characters, from the Brit Muslim ex-rapper interviewer, Ali-G, to the pride of the "Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan', the lovable Borat. His next movie will feature his new to American audience character, Bruno - a parody of gay fashion journalists. Known for his remarkable ability to merge into a role, still the idea that a successful candidate for the Presidency of the United States could actually be a remarkable comedy character by the world's greatest parody artist is still stunning, and almost impossible to account for. "I don't know how it slipped through all the cracks," said the astonished Cohen. "The American's just aren't as sharp as they used to be in the field of journalism, I suppose".

Mr Cohen's character has raised over 600 million dollars for his campaign and has travelled overseas to meet leaders in Europe and the Middle East.

Asked to comment on the revelation, Joe Biden, the American Vice-Presidential Candidate for the Democratic Party said, "Damn this reminds me of the time John Wilkes Booth appeared on TV and tried to kill President Wilson. He seemed too smart, too clean for my tastes."

Republican candidate John McCain remarked that, "I've learned many lessons in my life, particularly during the six and one half years I spent locked away in a cell in Vietnam. The British can be pretty funny, my friend, remember that Benny Hill guy? He was always cracking me up."

Republican Vice-Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin also commented from her campaign stop in Ohio, "Oh, that Borat fellow is very talented - and quite the maverick too. Todd and I laughed like crazy at that movie". She added, "I told you guys, I had more experience than he did. And I don't think the American election is really something that you should be making fun of, even if you are British."

Democratic leadership response was varied. Nancy Pelosi remarked, "after eight years of the George Bush plan to grind Americans into the ground and destroy us all, a vote for Sacha Cohen is a vote in the right direction whether he is black or not." Harry Reed said, "We need change and Health Care, nothing funny about that." Howard Dean merely remarked, "Whee haaaa".

Throughout the country, millions of Obama's black supporters were disappointed by the news. "Whitey done us again like he always do," said one. The future of the Obama character, which has inspired millions of youth in American and throughout the world, is still uncertain.
