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.

She isn't the first, and she won't be the last. I wonder if they will try this with Senator Obama or whatever title he has after the election. Or is he too above the salt for the Audette's?

Perhaps it is something to do with the Latin Psyche? In Montreal we have Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel Audette who have pranked Governor Palin among others and of course the infamous Pierre Brassard. While in Miami there are Joe Ferrero and Enrique Santos who have pranked Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro (who unlike Governor Palin started swearing over the telephone) http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/fidel/transcript.htm - and they were fined by the FCC something I doubt the CRTC will do.

The prank was pretty good.... While I enjoy seeing Sarah Palin exposed, I don't like when it's done this way...

As I mentioned on the other thread, I didn't think she was that bad. Once she became aware it was a prank she actually handled herself well, I thought.

I can't stand her but I think there's some merit to the claims that the campaign is not handling her very well.

I actually felt sorry for her for a few moments, but that passed.

These guys have gagged a lot of them including our own Cretin. I'm surprised how successful they are.
