	'Da Ali G' funny, but not great HBO kind of funny

		Ali G is a great character, and he leaves a lasting impression.
		Then Ali G interviews former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, and, as with his interview next week with, yes, it's true, former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros- Ghali, the juxtaposition is ridiculous and humorous.

	Reason: Studied Stupidity: Respect to Da Ali G Show
		After a brief disquisition on the topic, Ali G has a follow-up: "What is illegal?" Thornburgh does his best with that but is unprepared for the third query: "What is barely legal?" The surreal exchange ends with Ali G recommending a movie that might elucidate the matter.

		The public's insatiable appetite for Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G character - a white gangsta rapper wannabe hailing from leafy English suburbia - made his eventual transition to the big screen a racing certainty.

		Ali G once interviewed a Spice Girl in front of a banner that read "Save Africa" over a map of Italy.

		Ali G's moment in the sun is, sadly, destined to be short.
