Tell the truth and run.
I liked it a lot. I'm glad I could pause it every ten minutes or so to avoid gasping in hilarity or horror.

Cohen is kinder to his subjects than he might have been. Some of the victims are clearly in on the gag, and some (Giuliani) are clearly not. One guy in the bathroom scene has his face blurred, so he must have refused to sign something.

Practically all the other participants must be collaborators to some extent. This seems like a kindness on SBC's part. They could've looked worse if we didn't suspect they were playing along.

The people credited as "Location Managers" did some heavy lifting. How did they keep SBC out of jail after CPAC? He probably had a valid floor pass.

And, of course, whatever legal waivers they needed from Giuliani were probably folded into whatever he signed, while drunk, in order to be interviewed.

The throwaway gag near the end where Borat coughs on the dead bird in the wet market had me rolling.

edit: Oh yeah, the thing they hooked Giuliani with is an ancient blackmail scheme called "The Badger Game." It's transparent and very crooked. Somebody like Giuliani should be able to recognize this and not fall for it, but he did.
