Glorious Kazakh Ads Continue — But No Borat
December 14, 2006 at 11:24 am
Today’s Washington Post features yet another glorious ad from the glorious Kazakhstan government — boasting of glorious American-Kazakh relations, glorious Kazakh troops fighting to benefit war on terror, and a photo of one glorious meeting between top U.S. and Kazakh officials.
As President Nazarbayev said when he met President Bush in September:
“Thank you very much, Mr. President, for hospitality and for warm feelings that I feel in this country and for the invitation. This is the third time that I’m in the Oval room since the independence of our country.”
Alas, no word in any of these ads about kazakh’s most gloriously famous emissary, Borat.
But as luck would have it, the D.C. Examiner’s glorious gossip column Yeas and Nays reports this today:
Borat wasn’t on the list, but at least one product of Kazakhstan managed to gain access to Vice President Dick Cheney’s holiday party on Tuesday night at his Massachusetts Avenue residence. Snow Queen vodka, a product of the central Asian country, was the “official liquor donor” at the 400-strong party of high-powered pols and their staffers.
Anyone know if Snow Queen is any good?

It actually is good–really smooth. From what I’ve heard, their claim to fame is that they’re distilled more than Grey Goose/Belvedere/others of that ilk and that it’s organic (or at least made with some organic ingredients).
Anyway, I’ve put back a few and liked it.
