I haven't clicked on the link, but I don't believe this is real. Not even Palin would be so stupid as to believe that she was talking to Sarkozy.
She really did.She admitted she thought she was talking to Sarkozy and that she was honored that they thought she was important enough to pull the prank on "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." BTW,Sarkozy was targeted ,but he didnt fall for it
Actually, it was rather embarrassing to listen to the exchange. Palin, who is running for Vice President, did not catch on even when a singer was being passed off as the Prime Minister of Canada. You know, the country next door? And while you may drum up witticisms about Canada to ease the discomfort, there is no denying the shit Palin walked into smiling and oblivious.

After Palin realized the call was a hoax, her campaign staff admitted she was "mildly amused." The prank tag-team from Quebec, "Justicia masques," who have previously targeted heads of state and celebrities, posted the conversation on their website (www.justiciers.tv). In the recording, John McCain's running mate enthusiastically takes the fake Sarkozy's call. "It's so good to hear you, thank you for calling us ... we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you!" Palin said. She appeared unfazed by the fake president's thick French accent and some outrageous comments. At one point the impersonator, comedian Sebastien Trudel, told the Alaskan governor he is following the US elections closely along with his special American advisor Johnny Hallyday -- a famous French rock'n'roll singer. When the fake president told Palin his wife Carla Bruni is "hot in bed," the governor chuckled and complimented him for his "beautiful family." Palin also proffered to continue relations if she reaches the White House. "We should go hunting together," Palin said. Palin laughed in response to Trudel's comment: "I just love killing those animals ... take away life, that is so fun!" The governor, who is making a whistle-stop tour through key states in the last weekend before the November 4 election, told the fake president that she is "very confident" about the Republican ticket's chances, and said she thought "the race is tightening" ahead of Tuesday's general election. "I see you as a president one day, too," said the comedian. "Maybe in eight years," replied Palin. The comedy duo have previously used their Sarkozy impersonation to target former French president Jacques Chirac, celebrities Mick Jagger and Britney Spears, and Sarkozy himself. "This was our most explosive coup so far," comedian Marc Antoine Audette told AFP, adding that it was "difficult" for his accomplice Trudel to get their request for a phone conversation past Palin's entourage and her Secret Service detail. The McCain campaign later released a statement about the phone 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."
No.... f***ing... way!!! How in the hell does this call get past all the levels of insulation? The phone rings and it's President Sarkozy? Do they not think that a call like this would come after official diplomatic notification from the French Embassy?? Unbelievable.
Yeah, that's the other thing. But aren't you glad the pranksters got through? It added another level of detail to our glimpse not only of the campaign organization but of Palin as well. In a way, that's news.
They did say it was difficult getting past her security.It was probably more difficult getting the call past her security then it was fooling Palin. "This was our most explosive coup so far," comedian Marc Antoine Audette told AFP, adding that it was "difficult" for his accomplice Trudel to get their request for a phone conversation past Palin's entourage and her Secret Service detail.
If anything Palin was just being nice.....they have a role they need to play. This is an issue about the campaign. Another example of sloppy work. I could even see this as a setup by MCain staffers angry with Palin
Why is anyone surprised? She is a dumb bitch that is all. But because she is a hockey mom and pro life and shoots guns joe sixpack is ecstatic. At some point people will realize intelligence is way more important than "someone you can have a beer with" When Couric asked her what magazines she read and she said "all of them".
Her listening skills are really poor. She basically sounded like she was reading off a notecard regardless of what the pranksters said. There's not a lot of personality there, that's for sure.
