9. Some clues in transcript here:

http://katemckinnon.wordpress.com/

FNS: I really love you. And I must say something, so, Governor, you’ve been pranked.
By the Master Avengers. We’re two comedians from Montreal
SP: Oohhh have we been pranked? And what radio station is this?

FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters
(SP leaves phone, continuous griping in background, sounds like, "For chrissakes...that was ??? Just a radio station prank...chrissakes...")

MA: Hello? If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain.
(Man’s voice in background: hang up, hang up.)
SP Assist: Hi, I’m sorry, I have to let you go. Um, thank you.

On edit parenthesis replace square brackets.

15. I heard it differently...

When SP leaves the phone, it sounded to me like she said "Just a radio station prank from France" or something along those lines. I was pretty sure I heard her say that it was from France...which of course begs the question, does Palin not realize Montreal is in Canada and not France?!

[L. Coyote]

17. Montreal, France? LOL.

Now I gotta listen again? My face is too sore. :rofl:

[jeff30997]

18. What ????

Nooo! I'm not living in France Paleink!I'll get you for this ! :rofl:

7. thanks. interesting site.

[mahina]

11. Yeah, I found it preparing for a paper on viral marketing.

I just measured viral by how many people emailed it to me, before finding this. I like seeing how many blogs it's posted on and stuff, too.

OK!

La pauvre petit ne comprend pas what the guys were saying. Rouge a levres should have tipped her off. She missed so many clues...what a dumb bunny!

[mahina]

12. as Sarah would say, "and, also, too"

we've all got that friend who sends us stuff six months later, right? That's when I used to know a video was dead. But now we have data :)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. Just wait until you see what SNL is going to do with this... wish

it would have happened a couple of weeks ago....

[insanity]

5. All we do is smoke pot and watch youtube

what did you expect?

[Karenina]

8. Yup, yup!
