This classic Ali G interview with Newt Gingrich is making the Internet rounds.

Ali G, for those of you who need a refresher, was the character name for the British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen -- think Steven Colbert, but x-rated -- who had his own show in Britain in 2000, which aired on HBO from 2003-2004.

Similar to Colbert (at least in his earlier days) most of the people Ali G 'interviewed' didn't realize he was playing a character.

This clip is NOT safe for work. But amazing nonetheless. I will say, for better or worse, Newt really holds his own here.
