Palin Pranked

If you haven't heard the audio of the prank call, it's worth it. How she didn't catch on it beyond me.

Quote:
Audette posing as Sarkozy speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops ample hints that the conversation is a joke. But Palin seemingly does not pick up on them.

He tells Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.

"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," the fake Sarkozy says.

He proposes they go hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has never done.

"Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done," Palin counters. "We can kill two birds with one stone that way."

The comedian then jokes that they shouldn't bring Cheney along on the hunt, referring to the 2006 incident in which the vice-president shot and injured a friend while hunting quail.

"I'll be a careful shot," responds Palin.

'I can see Belgium'
Playing off Palin's much-mocked comment in an early television interview that she had insights into foreign policy because "you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska," the caller tells her: "You know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium."

She replies: "Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes."

Palin praises Sarkozy throughout the call and also mentions his wife Carla Bruni, a model-turned-songwriter.

"You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife," Palin says. "Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours."

I read the whole script and laughed most of the way through it. She couldn't figure out this was a prank before listening over 7 minutes. There were many things that gave it away. How about the one where he says his wife is really good in bed!

Does it matter? They obviously think higher of her, since they didn't bother to call Biden. They also pranked:

Rock stars Bono and Mick Jagger, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Formula One driver Jacques Villeneuve, U.S. business tycoon Donald Trump, and Queen Elizabeth II.

On January 27, 2006, they tricked Jacques Chirac into believing that he was speaking to new Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a prank which Chirac took with good humour.[2] The BBC rated this particular prank one of the 30 best moments in radio history of all time.


I guess all those people are idiots too! Gates and Trump are such dumb dumbs!

I think the dumb dumbs are the people that handle Palin. They should have done a better job screening. While some of the things she said were goofy and she should have gotten a clue earlier, it doesn't change the fact she should have never been handed the phone in the first place. If her handlers had worked for me, heads would have rolled.

She will not always have handlers around to make the big decisions she needs to make as Vice President. She needs to think on her own once in a while!

No but we as Americans tend to put the President and Vice President in a different category - a much higher standard. So yes I stand by my original statement. She is an idiot.

Or they didn't prank him b/c they knew he wouldn't fall for it and that he at least would know the difference between Stephen Harper and Stef Carse.

You are so right. I can't believe how easy it was for them to actually get to Gov. Palin. You'd think it would be hard to just get a call thru to her.

Jndhoyt can I second that statement you made, I agree she is a idiot. Omg how can anyone is there right mind there this lady could run the United States of American,,,oops I forgot she's got her Maverick McCain on her side..... yeah right. YOu know I really do like John McCain as a person, he truly does have many many years of experience I have to give credit where its due, however sadly he is a Republican and I personally feel we would just another 8 repeat years of the Bush Administration if McCain came into office.Also I seriously feel he knows he made a mistake by asking her to be his running mate. Hey I all in favor of women being in power. Someday we will have our first female president, sadly its not going to be Sarah Palin.......Catherine

Unbelievable.. what do you guys do for a living that you can all cast stones at Sarah Palin? I can bet it isn't running for VP. Are you stay at home moms? Do you have professional jobs? What? Even if you won't vote for her.. she deserves respect just for the position that she's in. To call her an idiot is just plain wrong. I don't like Obama or Biden, but I respect the fact that they are where they are. And I certainly wouldn't call Obama an idiot. Pied Piper, Closet Muslim, Anti-christ, radical socialist... maybe. But he's definitely not an idiot. You have to be pretty smart to have the following of sheoples that he has.

They showed an interview of the two guys who pulled the prank on Sarah Palin. They said of all the people they have pranked they only had to explain to two they were being pranked. Sarah Palin and Britney Spears.

Funny, we're not supposed to call Palin an idiot, but you can call us sheoples.

Go figure.

Interesting that your post was chastising others for not respecting Gov Palin by calling her an idiot and you disrespect Obama and Biden by calling them names...and the people who believe in them and vote for them by calling them sheoples. Pot meet kettle.

And, what the hell does it matter if any one of us is employed outside the home or in the home? Doesn't prove or disprove anything. Yes, Somehow she thinks "idiot" is worse than outright FALSE descriptions of someone as "pied piper", closet-Muslim, anti-christ,etc as she did. What outright hypocrisy!

So, you are using Muslim as a slur? Right there next to Anti-Christ? You know, the translation of the word Muslim is "one who submits to God" not "terrorist." Gee, so much for respect. You say Muslim like it's a bad thing. So, are you an uneducated bigot? Or just an idiot yourself?
