MONTREAL (AP) — Sarah Palin has unwittingly taken a prank call from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and told him she may make a good president in eight years.

The Republican vice presidential nominee discussed politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in the telephone call released Saturday.

When the caller told Palin she would make a good president, she laughed and replied: "Maybe in eight years."

Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she 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.

LOL.

Honestly how did this get through staff lines. (Unless they are in on the prank, off with their heads and what are their names).

I heard the prank. The accent was terrible, it was clearly meant to be caught and laughed at. Yet Palin did not catch on. A god damn idiot, that one.

Eh, idk. It depends if she actually assumed her staff did their job. It truly would be a HUGE insult to a foreign head of state to ask if he was IMPERSONATING himself, lol.

MONTREAL — A transcript of a prank phone call between Quebec comedy duo "The Masked Avengers" and Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin, released Saturday.
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?

A: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?
P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

Your transcript missed the last line:

A: If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain!

[Mathais]

Man this sad to think they she would believe that but none the less it made me lol!

[fatsheep]

Why does this not surprise me?

[danzig]

Guess people selectively leave out the part the guy has done this in the past to others including Sarkozy himself and Bill Gates.

[Iron Juggernaut]

BUT HOW COULD SHE NOT CATCH IT?

Jesus, Danzig, do you always defend the Republicans like this?

[danzig]

BUT HOW COULD SHE NOT CATCH IT?

Jesus, Danzig, do you always defend the Republicans like this?

Always? Really you think I always do that? Then you know nothing about me nor do you read many of my posts. Im not defending her Im defending "oh haha she is an idiot" because she got fooled when others have as well. Im sorry if my post interferes with the hypocritical bashing of Palin on something so pointless by many of the same people who complain about the pointless Obama bashing but I toss my two cents in anytime I see any political figure unfairly targeted...including Obama.

There is enough legitimate issues to attack Palin on as well as Obama, a phrank call to her and he is a secret commie lover do not meet that standard. So again Im so "sorry" if my post rains on your stupid thread but tough.

[Iron Juggernaut]

But she is an idiot. She thought Nikolas Sarkozy, the president of France, was calling her on a public line. They have private lines for these things, you know. And the fake accent should have been obvious. Clearly, quite a few people have never heard an actual French citizen speak.

Guys, let's not get over-exited by this. She fell for a prank. So what?

Contrary to everything else she has said this doesn't prove she's a psychotic moron. In fact it shows a more "humane" part of her.
Somehow at the middle of the discussion she seems to get whiff that she's being pranked but obviously she can't just hung up or ask "is this a prank" because in the 1% chance that it wasn't it would be a huge offence. She just becomes more concious on what she says and what she comments on.

The part of "I look forward to meet you personally and meet your wife" IMO is her attempt to force the speaker reveal his true identity. Then she understands that even this could be insulting in the 1% that she was speaking with a foreign leader and tries to save it.

All in all, with this prank I found that I dislike her less than I did. She may say weird things like your troops in Iraq are in a mission from God, or that contraception shouldn't be taught in school... but at least she's human.

Weepin' Jesus on the cross... how could she fall for this kind of prank? Answer me that. How could she think that the French president, Nikolas Sarkozy, was calling her on a public line to have a chat? How?

I have to say its always somewhat difficult..To understand what to do when you think your being pranked. its very insulting to simply tell the president of another nation "what the hell, is this a prank call?" which can lead to situations where your not sure what to do. Playing along just means you got pranked..Insulting the leader of another nation..not so easy to evade.
