Pranked: Sarkozy calls Palin, she totally buys it

Sarah Palin duped by prank call

US vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin has become the victim of a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as the French president.

Marc Antoine Audette convinced Alaska's governor she was speaking to Nicolas Sarkozy during a six-minute chat aired on a Montreal radio programme.

Topics discussed ranged from the beauty of Mr Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni, to the prospect of a joint hunting trip.

A spokesperson for Mrs Palin said she was "mildly amused" by the prank.

At one point during the phone call, aired three days before the US election, Mr Audette told Mrs Palin he could see her as president one day.

Laughingly, the Republican candidate replied: "Maybe in eight years."

Mr Audette said he would be keen to join her on a helicopter hunting trip.

"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," he said in an exaggerated French accent.

"I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President [Dick] Cheney."

In 2006, Mr Cheney infamously shot and injured a hunting partner while quail-hunting in Texas.

Mrs Palin responded: "I'll be a careful shot."

Mr Audette told the BBC he had wanted to see whether Mrs Palin was right when she talked about being "treated unfairly by a lot of principal medias" in the US.

"We tried to speak with her a little bit about foreign affairs, and well, it gave the result that you can air," he said.

Mr Audette and fellow comedian Sebastien Trudel present a programme on the radio station CKOI Montreal.

Calling themselves the Masked Avengers, the duo have in the past duped Nicolas Sarkozy himself, former French President Jacques Chirac, and the music star Britney Spears with prank phone calls.

So, I'm wondering If i can call her along with my cousin and impersonate Ahmadinejad, maybe i can work things out too :S2: oh wait, that wont fly, they dont negotiate with the terrorist, damn!!

I can't and don't want to believe she really bought this call as a Presidential call, hahahahah she hung up at the end OMG! i bet she was pissed off, especially at the ones who connected this call to her!

better people have been fooled by worse prank calls...french president jacques chirac, queen elizabeth...a canadian with a microphone and a video camera tricked mike huckabee (governor of arkansas) into congratulating canada for preserving it's national igloo, and also fooled the tom vilsack (governor of iowa) into congratulating canada for switching to a 24 hour clock from a 20 hour clock

it's funny, but not really damaging...both huckabee and the governor of iowa tom vilsack were contenders for the republican presidential nomination despite saying something 10 times as stupid as sarah palin ever did

but that is besides the point: SARAH PALIN SAID SOME MORE STUPID STUFF!

Glad you're thinking....:wtf:

What I wonder is how can you just call up her staff and say you have the President of France on the line, and he wants to talk to the candidate, and they BELIEVE you! Palin is a ding dong, but shouldn't she have a staff that screens the incoming calls? Isn't there a protocol for heads of state contacting the candidates?

"Hello. I have the President of France on the line, and he wants to talk to candidate Palin."

"Gee wilickers, Sarah! It's the president of FRANCE callin'!"

"Jimminy Cricket! Gimme the phone!"

give palin's team some credit...the caller had a funny accent!
