When we checked in with fossilized Post gossip Cindy Adams last week to find out why she flip-flopped on Harrison Ford doing his own stunts in Indiana Jones, her assistant told us she was unavailable for comment because she had just "left the country." Today, Cindy lets us know that she did in fact depart the U.S. ... for, uh, Kazakhstan. Writes the old kook in a rambling, non-sequitor-laced dispatch from Astana that is a year and a half past the point of relevance:

"The locals hate this Sacha Baron Cohen. His movie was filmed in Romania and, they say, he should have used a mythical country. They call him really bad names in their basic Kazakh, and in their mother tongue, Russian. The picture is banned in the country, but everyone, thanks to bootleg DVDs, has seen it. However, a note to Sacha: Do not visit here. Show up, and they'll tear your borats off."

How the hell did the 83-year-old Adams end up spending her Memorial Day weekend filing copy halfway around the world? It's almost certainly some sort of press junket, but her assistant says otherwise: "Cindy went on vacation there for four or five days, and decided to file a story." But who takes a pleasure vacation to Kazakhstan? "I don't know anything else. She's on her way back right now, so you can ask her when she gets here."
