Gov Palin issues an official statement on the prank call- for real!

[Ichingcarpenter]

The Palin campaign issued a statement in response. Via Ben Smith:

"Gov. Palin received a phone call on Saturday from a French Canadian talk show host claiming to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy," emailed spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt. "Gov. 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."

2. Palin, here's a g.d. clue: THIS DOES NOT COUNT AS FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE. EVEN IF SARKOZY

WAS PUNKED TOO. THE "RANKS" YOU HAVE "JOINED" MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, BEYOND THE FACT THAT YOU ARE A DUMBASS.

Sorry for the all caps.

3. Pffft. That conversation with Sarkozy is SO going on her resume.

Even though it wasn't really him, it's good experience, doncha know. Just like being near Russia is almost like actually going to Russia! :crazy:

4. "Mildly amused"... code for raging flameout. n/t

5. I'll bet McCain's advisors are going nuts.

I hope that makes all the news cycles.
