Who's Ali G's and where can I buy some. It's hot here today and I could really use some ice cream....

wait I did a Google and found this:

Ali G scammed Mr. Baker and others into granting interviews by sending them flattering letters on fancy stationery from United World Productions, inviting them to be part of a six-part series for Channel 4 on British TV aimed at explaining the U.S. Constitution to young people.

With his crew, Mr. Cohen went into Mr. Baker's conference room in a dark suit and put on his garish Ali G outfit before Mr. Baker came in.

As in England, Mr. Cohen has left a trail of irritated interviewees in his wacky wake.

Marlin Fitzwater had his doubts when Ali G showed up wearing a red jumpsuit and high-tops and asked inane questions.

Like Mr. Baker, Mr. Fitzwater figured that Ali G was dressing for his "hippie" audience.

But he ended the interview after Ali G asked him whether Hillary Clinton drank "from the fairy cup."

"I said, `You're an idiot,' " Mr. Fitzwater recalled.

"I'd never been lied to like that. I was two steps away from calling the sheriff."

Donald Trump, who walked out of an interview when Ali G tried to pitch the idea of a glove to eat ice cream cones with, recalled:

"I thought he was seriously retarded. It was a total con job. But my daughter, Ivanka, saw it and thought it was very cool."

James Woolsey was good-natured when Ali G brought up the grassy knoll and asked, "Who shot J. R.?"

Richard Thornburgh was patient when Ali G misinterpreted the meaning of hung juries.

And Brent Scowcroft didn't flinch when Ali G asked him, "Did they ever catch the people who sent Tampax through the mail?"

"It was anthrax," Mr. Scowcroft corrected pleasantly.

Ali G is wicked.

And to him, that's a compliment

Ya gotta love it, pal.
