It's No Joke - Palin Caught!
A Canadian radio station, CKOI, was able to have a little fun with Sarah Palin:
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 interview, which lasts about six minutes, Palin and the pranksters discuss politics, pundits, and the dangers of hunting with current vice-president Dick Cheney.
And here it is, the full call as it happened.
Who ya gonna call...
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
because she's dumber than a bag of nails.
Some stuff you can't make up!
Hah! I love hearing this crap about Palin. She has been such a huge catalyst for Obama winning the election. What a complete ignoramus to fall for this. I actually felt sorry for her about mid-way through. I'm sure she'll come back and say that she knew it was a prank and just played along. What a complete loser.
Obama has not won. Lets not fool ourselves.
The election is tomorrow and until the election is called for the winner we must work work work!
UnlessI slept through Sunday,the election is Tuesday.
They moved the election to Weds....
You can vote in most states tomorrow but the election is Tuesday.
I know I voted last week. But the election is Tuesday.
I didn't feel sorry for Palin at all. Call me nuts, but she had it coming. She is running for VP, but she has no idea what her potential job description is. She refuses to throw racists out of her rallies. Sarah Palin makes George Bush look smart, and I never figured anyone could do that. She came to the campaign completely unprepared, and thought she could blab and wink her way through this.
So yeah - I think she deserved this.
Reality Check: Palin the ‘PunKER,’ Not the ‘PunKEE’
Good one, Don.
I kinda actually felt a little sorry for her on this one. But you know, she is so damned arrogant and full of herself... one of her many dangerous traits. Perhaps this will bring her down a peg? Nah...
World leaders dont go all gushy and talk fast (and in heavy accents) to strangers on the telephone.
Its just not done that way, Hollywood yes, real life no.
Sarah Plain pranked herself, plain and simple.
Just play a clip of her smearing Obama....your sympathy will fade
I offer nothing.
Unfit for Command.
You notice the Republicans don't seem to be concerned with that meme this year? I wonder why.
... and terrified listening to this malignant narcissist. She didn't flinch when he said "I just love killing animals." Or when he joked about "Nailin' Palin." Her answers were both sophomoric and chilling.
If this doesn't hammer home the final coffin nail in her political aspirations, I don't know what will. She's easily the most unqualified VP selection in history. She makes Quayle (and, yes, even Bush II) look like erudite scholars.
Go back to the frozen north, Whore from Wasilla, and leave us educated, informed and reality-based people alone ...
She doesnt have an ear or the brain power for anything beyond the 1000 most common words and the boring small town lifestyle that goes with them.
Its funny when a pair of comedians reveal the inner workings of Palin, when the MSM was unable or unwilling to do so.
These two deserve a Pulitzer prize for poltical reporting.
if she really thinks that this is how international leaders act? Just pick up the phone and have a chat with a candidate?
Her ego is so massive it probably never ocurred to her to wonder.
The big question is this: is she surrounded by aides who are every bit as qualified for their jobs as Monica Goodling was, and they were completely ignorant, or did her aides throw her under the bus intentionally, knowing that she would bite at the chance to talk to a real leader?
Now that she's been punked by DJ's pretending to be the President of France, we need to get the actual Nicolas Sarkozy to call her and see what she says to him. :D
I like it!
Al Jazeera in English goes all over the world -- except USA! It's mainstream media in the European Union. Lot's of people laughing their asses off over here.
Yep.
Main Danish newspapers also carry this story on their websites now. http://politiken.dk/udland/valgiusa/article59... Beware! Scary picture!
Palin is a joke! - how could she ever be nominated for VP?
It amazes me that we still have people in the US who wonder why the rest of the world laughs at us. Makes me want to do a huge, collective dope slap and say "Stuff like Palin on a VP ticket, that's why!"
Just slap them. Democrats didn't have anything to do with her being on their ticket.
Theres so much news that never gets reported inside the US,
the world's media reported on a certain #1 bogeyman dying in 2002, it was ignored in America, where he continued to be a Republican MSM superstar when needed.
A new way to express intellectual pain: 'Palinful'. This hurt my brain.
Plus the sheer idiocy of the aide who answered the phone. Probably the same person that vetted her in the first place.
The aide was probaley in on it.
So much for the Republicuns being the party to protect the country. These 2 French Canuck clowns reportedly (according to Canadian press) to get cleared by the Secret Service as well as Palins Republicun guard to be able to complete the call. HA!
How dare McCain tote this Bimbo around on the campaign trail?
Don't you think maybe she should have caught on after "Marcel the guy with bread under his armpit"? Priceless.
or the nailin' palin! What a stupid woman she is for Christ's sake.
but of course she didnt understand half of what was said to her.
just what is needed running the country...
WW3/4 here we come, if Palin ever gets into the Oval office.
So some guy calls a Palin aide and sez "I have Nicolas Sarkozy on the phone and he would like to speak with Sarah". This is taken at face value? I mean wouldn't someone like Sarkozy go through channels if he wanted to have a chat on the phone with a potential United States VP? And wouldn't the McCain-Palin camp maybe want to confirm that it was the actual Nicolas Sarkozy that she would be talking to.
Is this a case of Palin going rogue again?
seem to be notoriously ill equipped to vet anything these days, poor dears.
Heh heh heh.
me-oww!
And she would be different from the last 8 years under bush how?
I guess she will speak with leaders of other countries without preconditions.
When she laughed about killing animals, I wanted to just smack her up side the head. Yeah, killing animals is a real hoot, Sarah Moose Burger.
I don't feel one bit sorry for her. Nope, not one bit.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
The other day,you asked me where I lived in FL. Tarpon Springs-North Pinellas.
When I was little I used to love the smell of the sponges in Tarpon Springs. That's what I remember most about the town. My parents bought one and we took it home just so I could enjoy that salty aroma.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
But I'm a blue refugee surrounded by Red State locals.
I'm in Dunedin! How ya doing Tarpon?

Fresh out of Moose? Try some delicious polar bear, or some lean, hearty artic wolf or whatever you happen to shoot from the helicopter as it passes overhead.
.
And she still thinks Second in Command is like being Runner-up Miss Wasilla.
.
Starve the WAR Beast...
... Feed Americans.
she's used to coming in second by now.
Some stuff you can't make up!
So if they lose, she comes in 4th?
to the 2nd power.
2nd again!
apparently inescapable!!
:<[)
Some stuff you can't make up!
I wouldn't think that doofus todd would let her come at all.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
CNN headline news is saying that Sarah was a "good sport" about the call. NO she wasn't, she was a sucker! I wonder how red her face was as the end of that call and what she said after she hung up.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
CNN is becoming more sickening by the minute.
They have joined the ranks along with fox of not being watched in my household.
I heard this last night and it came after the radio guys identified themselves... She stopped talking as soon as she realized that she got punked. You can tell that there was background discussion... and I heard a "bleep" for just a second! Then the aide got back on and essentially said goodbye. No "good sport" there! Even Bush has enough of a sense of humor that he'd have had a comeback rather than simply stop talking!

I used our audio software to enhance the background talk. Palin is dumber than anyone imagined. The audio proves it.
We'll talk about it on Monday evening's "Head-On With Bob Kincaid."
Weeknights, 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
Maybe this is Sarah Palin's "Lonesome Rhodes" moment.
she's too stoopid NOT to be.
Some stuff you can't make up!
theres much panic and anger at Palin's end, by her and her staffers,
poor little souls, their incompetence really showed up their fitness to be near power.
Shes dumb. How could she think that was the president of france? let alone a president of anything?
this is much worse than when rick mercer got george bush to comment on a faux endorsement from canadian prime minister "jean poutine".
americans are too easy.
REPUBLICAN Americans are too easy. The rest of us are still using most of our brains.
I disagree...
I never seem to get laid.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
this is so much better. Unfortunately the news outlets are not fully grasping how much they punked her.
For example, at the beginning he says "This is Frank Ouvrier". "Ouvrier" is French for "worker"... so basically, I think he's calling himself the equivalent of Joe the Worker.
Then later when they're talking about hunting, he says "We could kill some baby seals" in French, and she agrees enthusiastically.
As best I can tell, every time they mention a foreign dignitary, they give the wrong name and she never catches it. If anyone is more familiar with these personalities, I hope they'll comment... because the depths of how little Palin knows are much deeper than our media is grasping.
She taught Barack Obama to look for the Russian Tea Room from the doorway of the Waldorf Astoria.
She is a total and complete fool.
Arrogance meets ignorance. That's Moosegirl in a nutshell.
Seriously, I thought McCain had at least some seasoned handlers watching her. If so, it is amazing that not one of them smelled what was from early on an obvious rat. We know that she is a total moron; nonetheless, there are at least some smart people in the McCain camp, right?
They didn't even verify that the call came from an area code in Canada, not France.
Have you seen those ads on this site for testing our IQ against sarah's?
They claim she has an IQ of 120.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Of course IQ measures cognitive ability not just intelligence.
Theres dumb people out there perfectly fit to do normal day to day life tasks, and succeed in average situations.
But when theres problems outside the norm, the low IQ types struggle.
Didn't your parents teach you people (*snicker*) not to make fun of the mentally challenged?
hah!
that
smarthurtsSome stuff you can't make up!
He mentions about the 2:53 mark "my great friend the Prime Minister of Canada, (Steph Kauss?)"
The name was hard to hear correctly but I definitely didn't sound the correct name.
The Prime Minister of Canada is Stephen Harper.
Did I hear that correctly?
cbc reports that they changed up the names, they referred to a singer instead of the prime minister. they did the same for the quebec premier.
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/media/story/2008/11/01...
It was Steph Carse (not surprised you haven't heard of him). He's only really well known in Quebec and Las Vegas. A super cheesy pop lounge singer kinda like Celine Dion (except with even less talent).
That's unpossible!
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIKoiT20eS4
That pretty low on the talent scale.
...Palin's face grow deathly pale after she was told she'd been punk'd...everyone in the room looking at each other not having a clue what to do. Truly priceless.
Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime
she says "for crissake" not a very ladylike or xtain thing to say...
The blood was running cold at that point, she knew it was game over time.
I thought I heard that too....
If a drone kills a child in Kandahar, do the crying parents make a sound?
she did take the embarassment quite well.
Some stuff you can't make up!
Yes she did handle it quite well though.
Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime
One of the funniest things I've heard in my entire life! She makes Dan Quayle look like a genius.
Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. Albert Einstein
Yeh, and Dan Quayle became Vice President!!
This is frightening!!
that's 0 for 2 for you motor. Quayle was never VP.
James Danforth[1][2] "Dan" Quayle (born February 4, 1947) is an American politician and a former Senator from the state of Indiana. He was the forty-fourth Vice President of the United States under George H. W. Bush (1989–1993).

Dan spells it Q-U-A-Y-L-O-E
keep 2006 in mind and remember that the will of the people was grossly underestimated by repugs and corporatist Dems.
Some stuff you can't make up!
I was right. She doesn't know who the Canadian Prime Minister is.

this would be funnier if I did
What does Sarah's latest gaff say about McCain's judgment? If he chose this ignorant, gullible, woman to be his second in command can you imagine who he would select for his cabinet?
its getting hard to tell these days.
Joe the Plumber's agent is negotiating a deal for the Sec of Treasury for him.
What next, someone's going to walk up to her and say pull my finger? What an ignoramus.
I want to say that this really was not her fault. That her "aid" gave her the phone and told her it was Sarkosy. But she is such an asshole and the way she misrepresents everything President Obama is about makes me want to destroy my TV. Pretty much everything that comes out of her mouth is bullshit and 100% stupid. She does not want to learn. She is arrogant about not being knowledgeable. They main thing is the TV though. If I have to replace my TV because she has caused me to throw something hard at I may become irrational. So she can just take the shit that she deserves.
Get one of those Nerf Bricks.
She sounds like a freakin' high school girl with all the giggling.
How do we know she was a good sport about the call, we don't know what she did or said after it was over. Her campaign said she was "mildly amused.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
she says "for crissake" not a very ladylike or xtain thing to say...
Duke Rove should teach her how to Two-Step.

She could have ended this and won the game. When the guy identified who he really was, she should have said, That's okay because this isn't really Sarah Palin, this is Tina Fey.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
...humor would have been a sign that she could accept this sort of thing. Just like "watching SNL with the sound turned down", Palin has absolutely NO sense of humor! This is a scary, egocentric, narcissist-psycho personality.

as when she was asked about Tina Fey's impersonations:
"Governor Palin was "amused" by the phone call, but didn't really get to hear it because she was listening to it with the sound turned down".

Would someone please bring out the hook and yank this skank off I mean really we have had enough. Wouldn't her time be better spent at some parenting classes or maybe some good therapy....

Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
its gonna be a hoot to watch.
So dumb it hurts. OMG I just remembered Quayle was actually the VP!! It's amazing how much she eats up flattery then forgets to see reason. I doubt she even understood what she was hearing. Here in Australia it is too easy to pick a Republican, even on the radio by the tone of voice. The women are either naive or bitchy,but always shrill and the men have that low, monotonous angry white male tone, more often than not with a dose of rednecky thrown in.
all his books burning, including the one he was coloring in at the time.
The names they used are if known French personalities, one of them being an over the hump French (France) rock and roll singer, Johnny Halliday.
But it's worse than being punked; they totally insulted her when they said "du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne", which literally translated means lipstick on a hog. "Cochonne" is the feminine of pig (cochon) in French.
Some organization with Republican in their name is running ads down here in Florida now and the ad is all about Rev. Wright. I thought McCain and Moose brain were going to keep those sorts of ads from happening.
We see about a zillion McCain ads telling us how risky and frightening Obama is, yet not a single one telling us why we should vote for McCain. The bottom line is, vote for McCain because Obama is a bad man who knows nothing about anything.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I see the same thing. Pathetic.
Are you seeing the Obama one about looking in the rear view mirror? That one is clever as hell. Then there's the one of Obama sitting in the school room talking about where it all started for him. Both are great ads.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Interesting sarah should be punk'd, everytime I look at her I think I'm seeing Ashton Kutcher's next wife.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
She thinks she's riding a comet through the sky, but what she doesn't realize that she's riding a plane and McCain is the pilot.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I always thought of her as ..."Para-sailin" on a little ride at the end of a long rope...and the boat will eventually run out of gas and she will float gently back to earth.
audit-prosecute-incarcerate
McCain insulted every woman on earth when he chose Palin.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
That anyone with two clues could tell it was all a joke but of course 'bible spice' didn't pick up the oh so subtle [ha!] hints.
She's a cosmic joke.
This is an example of not only how stupid Sarah is but also of how taxpayers are wasting money on Homeland Security. All calls to a candidate are screen just as it's done with the President/Vice President. For this punk to happen it proves America is open. Now our phones calls and emails are listen and reviewed by the Govenment, but no one is watching calls from overseas. Sarah sound like the idiot she is and I know the real French President and his wife have the tape and will make fun of it at their next dinner party. Now Russia/Iran realize just how stupid Americans are with this Republican choice as VP. McCain is embarrassed and should be has now the world see Sarah as the joke she is.
It just has to look impressive, annoy lots of people by its very presence at airports, create lots of jobs for unemployed connected people and the unwashed minions doing the dirty work, and keep politicians looking good.
Form over function etc. massive empire building for graduates and minimum wage ex fast food cooks, win win.
Being Canadian I'm quite mystified as to why Ms. Palin doesn't seem to know our prime minister's name (Stephen Harper)...we're right next door, you know that huge country that you can probably see from your other window!
Besides, Harper is a 'Bush lover' (yes, shame on us)...she should keep better track of her 'friends', seems she needs some lately.
Seeing that Bible-Spice must speak in tongues, you'd think she'd know her French.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
She sure had it coming, but I can't say I'm enjoying such pranks in general.
I didn't see the full video, just checked it out for reference.
It interesting how confused she is when she first starts talking to the Sarkozy impersonator, how she elongates words and talks slowly.
I'm not sure if she was being nice or just thinks you need to speak slowly to foreigners cause they're dumb.
Anyway, no bad points for her here, how would she know the ettiquette of talking to heads of foreign countries, be it officially or unofficially.
Which technically are 'heads of state'
She failed miserably, so did her staffers.
poor Bexie, soon to be unemployed.
http://www.linkedin.com/companies/john-mccain...
of just how far out of the loop these people are. I know caribou barbie is borderline shortbus but you'd think someone on that staff of hers would have had a clue.
It occurs to me that being aware of the names of heads of state and other important details like that would be part of the job. At least for someone. But then if any of them were actually involved in government and not just in 'politics' they probably would know these things.
UPDATED TRANSCRIPT OF ENTIRE INTERVIEW
http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/11/1/15...
Those polite Kossacks are not hearing properly.
Americans use 'ass' , Canadians and english speaking Europeans use 'arse'
At first I thought he said anus, then I listened again and figured he must have said house but now arse makes sense.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
This just in.....Dingo dog steals baby Trig.....Obama camp is blamed!!!
Hightlights at 11:00
Stay tune to Faux for the latest news stories..........
Anyone thinking it couldn't get worse than Bush,...ah you know the rest.
I thought the accent alone was pretty lousy. She should have suspected something off the bat. How stupid. She never even questioned the names he was throwing our there. Incredible.
Sorry bud. The accent is as real as it gets. They are French speaking Canucks.
If it kinda sounds like a French dude, it must be the President of France.
