sacha baron cohen responded.e said something like the only service i said i was in was the united parcel service. i guess we're going to have to wait and see, but react to what you've heard about the palin episode. >> good point. that's part of why i came out this past week. i think he crossed a line with sarah palin. he's a funny guy, and what he did to me was funny, and i'll probably end up looking pretty stupid, but that's okay. i'm a big boy, but you impersonate a disabled veteran, he did cross a line, and i think sarah palin, michael, was right to call him out. again, he has a right to do it, but i like the fact that in this world now sarah palin and others like myself, we're pushing back just so people when they go into it, and as you said, michael, there probably all have a good laugh tomorrow night, but people need to know the truth. >> so initially i heard that it was you and i heard it was cheney and palin, arpaio. i thought this politically will probably be to republican/conservative benefit because it

him * what sacha baron cohen did to sara palin was horrible.have every right to feel outraged by this. the only problem with the outrage is sacha baron cohen loves it. he feeds off it. it's why he loves what he does. some of these conservative politicians fell into that trap. you can't blame them, but it benefited sacha baron cohen in terms of publicity for the show. howie: he tricked dick cheney and others. sara palin said she riched off her mi -- she ripped off her mic. does cbs owe the public some response? carley: their reaction was giving no repacks whatsoever. they wanted the show to be a mystery which is why they didn't do much promotion for it. they will let it linger and see what the public things by the when the interview actually airs. sacha baron cohen was completely irrelevant 2 1/2 weeks ago. they are kind of glad the conservative politicians did a little bit of the heavy lifting for them. but it should be interesting to see what this interview does pan out to be fit rose to the level of the criticism that existed so far. howie: i
