I thought it was kind of funny. Ali G really is usually a pretty clever comedian/sketch writer and performer, imo. He can act so cluelessly offensive in the most brilliant way, if that makes any sense. I can understand if this was the only thing you had ever seen of him then you could easily think he was some fool who was taking cheap shots at FM. This clip really doesn't really represent his shtick very well.
Maybe he's not for everybody but I have grown to enjoy his him over time. If you get a chance then perhaps check out his DVDs of the Ali G Show. You might get a better idea of where he's coming from in this clip. I imagine he probably does admire FM even if this bit might make you wonder if that really is the case.

yeah, it may have been a bit too far, that one, but i fink a lot of his stuff is meant to be taken in a satirical way (look at Ali G) in the sense that he is actually sending up the people who share the 'i'm not a loolee-loolee' attitude. And hosts with a lack of tact are often a laugh.
Sacha Baron Cohen's characters, whether it be Ali G, Borat or Bruno (from Austrian Gay TV) all rely on the fact that they are very confrontational, making people feel uncomfortable in interviews. If it didn't offend someone, he wouldn't be doing it right!
Personally, I love the 'Borat goes back to Kazakhstan' bit on Ali G Bling Bling - "This is my wife. This is my other wife. This Is my Girlfriend. This I have to pay for - but she worth it...WA WA WEE WA!"
That and when he started pissing off a bunch of public-school nobheads in Cambridge. Pure comedy!
