    A Conservative “Borat”: Jason Mattera

    By Kyle | September 2, 2008


    Over at Hot Air, comic Jason Mattera has been getting big laughs by going undercover in an orange jumpsuit and a do-rag, posing as a terrorist-hugging liberal do-gooder trying to get unsuspecting Democrat activists at the DNC in Denver to sign crazy petitions demanding, for instance, that Gitmo detainees receive access to “Cinemax. ESPN 1 and 2.”

    As Jason goes on: (”MSNBC. Jihad Olympics. Netflix subscriptions, and their own EHarmony accounts”) “progressives” pass by saying they support all of it: “There’ you go!” and “I’ll sign that.” One liberal seems to smell a rat, saying he’s not sure why Netflix subscriptions would benefit Afghanis since the movies aren’t in English.

    “Subtitles,” says Mattera. In, er, Afghani!
    “If they did, it would be fantastic!” agrees the liberal.

    A couple of “progressives” proclaim, “I honestly think that police work should be one of those things that gets rotated among the people like jury duty.”
    Jason replies: “That’s right! Even hobos! They should be investigating crimes!”
    And the liberals nod and say, “Right.”

    A lot of this stuff looks funnier than “An American Carol.” John McCain, please: sign this guy up. Get him to make some campaign commercials. You need help with the youth vote.

      God knows it does look funnier than “An American Carol.” But then again, what doesn’t?

      “God knows it does look funnier than “An American Carol.” But then again, what doesn’t?”

      You’ve seen the movie?

      You probably dislike that they make fun of Michael Moore. But how hard is it to make fun of a guy who thinks god hates black people in Louisiana?

      Hey, I don’t like Moore myself, but he’s sure funnier than Kelsey Grammar dressed as George Washington,
