AHAHAHA Palin tells Sarkozy prankster "We should go hunting sometime!"
Edited on Sat Nov-01-08 04:00 PM by Bluebear
:rofl:

MONTREAL – A Quebec comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state has reached Sarah Palin, convincing the Republican vice-presidential nominee she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

In the roughly six-minute telephone interview released today, Palin and the pranksters known as the Masked Avengers discuss politics, pundits, and the perils of hunting with Vice-President Dick Cheney.

"We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you," Palin is heard to gush to comedian Marc-Antoine Audette, masquerading as Sarkozy.

Palin doesn't seem to realize she's being tricked until Audette tells her at the end of the interview.

"Oh, have we been pranked?" she says. Seconds later, Palin's aide can be heard before the line goes dead.

Throughout the conversation, Audette drops plenty of clues that something's amiss.

He identifies French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday as his special adviser to the U.S., singer Stef Carse as Canada's prime minister and Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier.

Early in the conversation, the fake Sarkozy tells Palin one of his favourite pastimes is hunting.

"We should go hunting together," she offers. "We can have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone."

He've told Sarah they would go hunting together as long as she doesn't bring Dick Cheney.
LOL.

apparently went right over Sarah's head. But she knew Sarkozy got a beautiful wife.

Edited on Sat Nov-01-08 04:01 PM by malaise
Damn that was funny. If she had one iota of sense she'd know that a sitting French President would never call a Vice Presidential candidate in an election. This happened because of her over-inflated sense of self importance.

Who's sending this to KO and Rachel?

add.

9. Will Palin nonetheless count this prank call towards her international experience?
She's now on a first name basis with a make-believe head of state from Europe. I wouldn't be surprised. After all, they were calling from Quebec.

17. They don't have caller ID?
What professional answers the phone "Hellllooooooooooooo, this is sarah"? Oof.

She and her staff think world leaders just make phone calls out of the blue?

I can't comment anymore because I couldn't get past "Helllooooooooo, this is sarah."

She's so embarrassing.

37. I think Biden's people would be down enough that they would KNOW if the fracking president of France
was scheduled to be calling. You can tell Sarah's people think they are the absolute shit and that everyone is dying to talk with them. "Sarkozy is on the line? Out of the blue? Well, OBVIOUSLY! EVERYONE wants to talk to ME!"

45. They know who are the heads of the Canadian government,
they have some knowledge of foreign affairs.
For Palin, the Governor of Alaska, not to know is pathetic,
given that Alaska deals with Canada.
Canada is the main foreign country she really ought to know about.

Those guys are really French speakers with accents - just not the kind of accent you'd hear in France.

There is no mistaking the pronunciation differences. At least not to my ear.

On edit: never mind. I get it.

26. In the very beginning, when she takes the phone and greets "S" only
to be told that it's still S's assistant, she turns to her assistant and says: "I always do that!" I thought that was priceless too.

and had all those meaningless stock answers ready.
Most of what he said went over her head, she was just waiting to say what she wanted to say.

But that "gosh jeez oh my I love that you called" down home giddy crap...makes Bush seem like a trained diplomat.

47. Palin camp responds to spoof: 'C'est la vie'
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1108/Palin_responds_to_spoof_Cest_la_vie_.html
"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."


I was wondering "Is that really Palin?". I didn't think she was THAT stupid.
