Palin takes prank call from fake French president - Yahoo! News

MONTREAL – 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.

The Republican vice presidential nominee discusses politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in a recording of the call released Saturday and set to air Monday on a Quebec radio station.

Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she had received the prank call.

"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," she said.

The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known as the Masked Avengers, the two are notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.

A: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?

P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

A: That was really edgy.

P: Well, good.

Well, this is pretty bad. Maybe you just have to hear the audio to understand. She really had absolutely no idea what was going on, and was just laughing it up.

Sarah Palin: This is Sarah.
Masked Avengers: Ah, yeah, Gov. Palin.
Palin: Hello.
Avengers: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.
P: Oh, it's not him yet, they're saying. I always do that.
A: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin.
P: Hello, this is Sarah, how are you?
A: Fine, and you? This is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?
P: Oh, it's so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.
A: Oh, it's a pleasure.
P: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you and thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me.
A: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday, you know?
P: Yes, good.
A: Excellent. Are you confident?
P: Very confident and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening and...
A: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now, my dear?
P: I feel so good. I feel like we're in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon you get your second wind and you plow to the finish.
A: You see, I got elected in France because I'm real and you seem to be someone who's real, as well.
P: Yes, yeah. Nico, we so appreciate this opportunity.
A: You know I see you as a president one day, too.
P: Maybe in eight years.
A: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common because personally one of my favourite activities is to hunt, too.
P: Oh, very good. We should go hunting together.
A: Exactly, we could try go hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that.
Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoques, aussi
P: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.
A: I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun.
I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President Cheney.
P: No, I'll be a careful shot, yes.
A: Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium. That's kind of less interesting than you.
P: Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.
A: Some people said in the last days and I thought that was mean that you weren't experienced enough in foreign relations and you know that's completely false. That's the thing that I said to my great friend, the prime minister of Canada Stef Carse.
P: Well, he's doing fine, too, and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder.
A: I was wondering because you are so next to him, one of my good friends, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois, have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?
P: I haven't seen him at one of the rallies but it's been great working with the Canadian officials. I know as governor we have a great co-operative effort there as we work on all of our resource-development projects. You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife.
Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.
A: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you, even though you know she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today.
P: Well, give her a big hug for me.
A: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she's so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
P: Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.
A: Yes, in French it's called de rouge a levre sur un cochon, or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber...it's his life, Joe the Plumber.
P: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism.
A: I just want to be sure. That phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That's not your husband, right?
P: That's not my husband but he's a normal American who just works hard and doesn't want government to take his money.
A: Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.
P: Right, that's what it's all about, the middle class and government needing to work for them. You're a very good example for us here.
A: I see a bit about NBC, even Fox News wasn't an ally as much as usual.
P: Yeah, that's what we're up against.
A: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?
P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.
A: That was really edgy.
P: Well, good.
A: I really loved you and I must say something also, governor, you've been pranked by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.
P: Ohhh, have we been pranked? And what radio station is this?
A: CKOI in Montreal.
P: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.
A: CK...hello?

The prime minister of montreal???? hahahahhaha

Get real huh? What ... she's supposed to be able to see through her phone and guess the intentions of morons on the other end?

Sure thing.

If this was Obama, you'd be laughing your ass off right now.

Laugh a little at your own side Gunny. It won't kill you..maybe.

 

[bk1983]

Get real huh? What ... she's supposed to be able to see through her phone and guess the intentions of morons on the other end?

Sure thing.

She has been harshly criticized for advocating shooting of wolves from helicopters. President Sarkozy calls you and ask to go hunting from helicopters? She believed Sarkozy would say this shit? "I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life"
"Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit." "Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?"

 

[efice32]

hahahahaha this is great...I love watching celebrities/politicians/famous people get pranked.

[Diuretic]

I have to say that I fail to find these sorts of stunts amusing. I don't give a shit if it's on the left or the right, it's bloody pointless and it's not even witty, it's just mockery.

Okay, she doesn't know that Canada has a PM and Quebec - like the other provinces has a Premier.

But maybe she was being polite with "President Sarkozy", perhaps thinking, <assume Palin accent> "huh? This dumbass frog thinks Quebec has a Prime Minister? Hmm, better not make him feel stupid though, would be impolite" <end of Palin accent>.

I did laugh at the de rouge a levre sur un cochon - I have just enough high school French in the memorybank to get that one - and I know who Johnny Hallyday is, but still, I don't think it's smart to do this to anyone in public life, I really don't.

One doesn’t need prank calls with Obama – he creates humor:

Have you ever heard him sing. Aaaargh!

Yeah, it just seems as though the only thing that was going through her head was "I can't understand a word he's saying so I'm going to figuratively smile and nod at whatever he says." She just wasn't thinking of what was happening. I dunno, she just seems hopeless.

oh PLEASE

Yep, in a Gallic overblown manner

 

[editec]

Palin is in over her head, that's obvious.

Project much do you? I wil give you this ... you've managed to just about get everything wrong that possibly could in two sentences.

One, I don't have a "side", junior, except my own.

Two, I wouldn't find it any more humorous if done to Obama if the motive was clearly deceitful and malicious political bullshit.

You underestimate my intolerance on a personal level for you knuckleheads' hate-filled, political hackery, regardless which side of the aisle it's coming from.

I really don't care what she does or doesn't believe. Obviously what you believe ain't worth piss though.

 

[Gunny]

Most definitely with the go for the throat, spin anything you can, nothing but blood will do moron crowd of politics at the national/international level. I'm not surprised by it, and suspected as much when McCain first chose her.

Some people around here need to get some SERIOUS therapy. Too many arcs and not enough connections when those neurons fire off in their brains.

you have it backwards.... palin was the one who got down in the mud. and, if you think there's something wrong questioning her ability when even the conservatives, well, the real conservatives anyway, have come out and said she isn't equipped for the job, then that's a pity.
