Palin: Not your average prank call

"Sarah Palin unwittingly took a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and telling her she would make a good president someday. 'Maybe in eight years,' replies a laughing Palin." They also talked about going hunting together and Carla Bruni. Palin clearly didn't understand through the accent some of the jokes being played. In the end, they told her they had pranked her and after getting the radio station's call letters, she hands the phone back over to an aide. The McCain-Palin response: "Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy and other celebrities, in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie."

Here's the prank call audio.

Allo, Zis iz French President Nicholas Sarkozee, may I talk with Sarah Palin? Man was I howling with derisive laughter when I heard the news on MSNBC tv that some Merry Pranksters from a Montreal radio station made a prank call to "Sinner" Sarah and got through and did a funny 7 minute prank call with her. Is her staff working for or against her? That is just so funny that they got through her clueless staff and she never got a clue until they told her they were pranking her. Oh I wish I would have been a fly on the wall listening to her tirade afterwards.

I just heard on MSNBC tv that the call took 4 days to set up. How incredibly ignorant is her staff that they couldn't figure out a prank call with 4 days to do it in? Anyone who would vote for this lamebrain team of incompetent fools has a few screws loosem heck they don't have any screws to lose because they all fell out.

Go Masked Avengers!
Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

ABsolutely no ordinary prank call. This showed more insight into her ditzy personality. I was already scared before after constantly seeing her hate filled speeches on all the time, but now, she is absolutely clueless. She acted like teenager talking to her idol. Not fit for anything to do w/this country. And the medical records would be nice too, the only candidate to never turn over her medical records seems very suspicious of something.

This clown need to be tied down and whipped ..... and I'll volunteer .... But it's still not as bad as Bonehead Biden's stupidity and gaffes.

She did not have the gravitas that I would have expected on that call. Prank call or not.

Haha! Sarah Palin running for vice-president in the US. What a joke, I can't believe it!

Next time, the contender should be a mentally handicaped individual

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose! (I didn't realize Tucker Bounds spoke French - quelle surpris!)

Can anyone imagine Palin answering the red phone???????

Poor choice, poorly managed, and carelessly staffed - SARAH the SIMPLETON rivals JOE the PLUMBER.
