John Oliver strikes in Qatar

Finally, I’ve discovered a contribution by Ali G to Western civilization. It’s to pave the way for John Oliver.

Here he is pouncing on the unsuspecting and remarkably stoic Qatari ambassador to the U.N.

The "Jewish boat" bit was brilliantly wicked. What’s the poor guy supposed to do?

This is random, but every time I see Oliver I think of my friend Zahir Janmohamed. Something about his expression.

My, the skyline in the vicinity of the Ritz has changed in since I lived in Doha.
