In a prank call lasting about six minutes, Governor Palin believes she is talking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. I guess Palin went “rogue.” And obviously they don’t vet their calls.
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 roughly six-minute telephone interview released Saturday, Palin and the pranksters known as the Masked Avengers discuss politics, pundits, and the perils of hunting with Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Throughout the conversation, there are plenty of clues that something’s amiss.
He identifies French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday as his special adviser to the U.S., singer Stef Carse as Canada’s prime minister and Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier.
What a colossal, embarrasing PR disaster just 3 days out! Wonder how McCain will take it?
UPDATE: A full transcript is available on Daily Kos for those of you who can’t bring yourselves to listen to the whole thing, which is impossible to do without palms on face. Here’s a portion of it: (FNS is fake Nicholas Sarkozy and SP is Sarah Palin)
FNS: I just want to be sure, I don’t’ quite understand the phenomenon “Joe the Plumber,” that’s not your husband, right?
SP: Mmhmm, that’s not my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.FNS: I seen a bit about NBC even Fox News wasn’t an ally, an ally, sorry, about as much as usual.
SP: Yeah that’s what we’re up against.FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s “Nailin Palin.”
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.FNS: That was really edgy.
SP: [Laughs] Well good.
Quelle dork!
For those who were wondering what the French language portions of the punkin’ Palin call were:
In the hunting part of the call, that was a reference to killing baby seals.
In the Carla Bruni song part, that was “lipstick on a pig”.
I guess the only French SP actually knows is “rouge cou”.
Mon dieu, je suis la premiere?
That may be the funniest thing I have ever heard. She’s is such a dim bulb. Man, whoever on her press staff set that one up is off the plane and walking home tonight.
Brilliant.
I hope everyone listens to this- I have, several times:) And passed it on to many like-minded friends…
Can you spell “stupid”, Caribou Barbie?
Top 5! Sorry.
Still laughing!!!!
OMG I just spit up coffee on my keyboard!
Oh God, I have to listen to it again!
The part where the wife wrote a song for her, ends with ‘youre a pig’.. cochon in french is pig.. i couldn’t understand the earlier part so i can’t translate. but cochon.. no question.. clearly he called barbie a pig..
Can not wait for this to hit TV. LOL
im glad someone could translate better than my crappy french.. but it’s just too funny..
Did ya all catch she said run for president ‘maybe in 8 years’.. how funny is that? she’s not even planning to run in 2012? or she’s so sure they’re winning tues she doesn’t need to..??!!
Hey, I was 8. Never been in the top 10 before!
Oh. My. God. What an idiot.
Just in case you were wondering (ha) having this happen 72 hours before the polls close is a catagory-5 disaster. It’s going to be all over radio and TV for the next three days.
Oh God, think of what Jon Stewart will do with this.
Why on earth with Sarah or anybody on the campaign with a brain cell working think the French President would be calling her anyway?
Turn out the lights. The party’s over.
(But we still have to work really hard for the next three days!)
[...] Sarah Palin crank call. For most of this I thought she was on to it, until the very end. Palin Gets Pranked by Canadian Radio Station. Mudflats [...]
MY GOD!!!!!! Is This for REAL???? WOW!!!! So much for security!!!! DUH!!!
I knew she was stupid—but THIS is beyond stupidity!
Oh, merde! Hehe
Yes, this counts as foreign interference with the campaign. I hope they don’t turn around those Alaskan nukes to point them at their other neighbours. You know, the ones who spell neighbours with an extra letter…
On behalf of the two frisky fellas from Quebec, I apologize. They were not aware of the the possibility Mr. Bush could now attack our home and native land. Please just ignore it and we are so sorry……teehee
@Canada
No need for apologies… you don’t sound very sorry.
Mon dieu! C’est magnifique! Sarah must be saying “zut alors,” also!
oh my goodness
…and we look forward to having our Prime Minister, freshly re-elected by 22% of eligible voters, working along with our great neighbour to the south and north
Oh. My. God. also
Wow, talk about dumb. This would be funny, except that Ms. Palin has now said that the US is at war with Iran. Given what has come up during her run as veepee she should really be removed and replaced in AK, she lied and should be held accountable.
Isn’ McCreamed on SNL tonight?
I meant to say Mon Dieu. Aussi. (spelling could be an issue, it’s been a very long time)
Uh oh! They’re on her enemies list now.
Don’t these people have some way of verifying who they’re talking to? Does that mean any Joe the Plumber can call up and pretend to be someone important? That’s scary!
She could have saved it when revealed it was a prank by playing along. But, no, she chewed out her assistant… probably going to shoot her from a helicopter.
From my ass, I can see Belgium. Love me some Canadian humor.
Very very funny, but I don’t think this is a PR problem for her at all. Her supporters will be angry at the ‘dirty trick’ and her opponents are…well…opponents already.
I am sure impressed, though, that the guy could string her along that long, while slipping in increasing outrageous comments the way he did….that takes talent and a quick mind.
Obama is talking.. would be funny if he heard about it and made a comment it was nice sarkosy called her..
You guys are much better, more dedicated people than I am. I simply can’t listen to her for 6 minutes straight, even if it is hilarious, so I’ll have to just live the highlights through you.
Arrêtez-vous! lol Je me suis pissée ! Mme Palin n’est qu’une conne; elle en méritait bien ! (she deserved it !)
Wish I knew which McPain aide gave that phone number to those guys, and I bet Bible Spice does too! Those guys should get an award from thankful Americans!
Rob in Santa Cruz, Ca (13:37:09) :
I think it’s a massive PR problem if the whole world thinks you are a complete maroon!!!
Okay you folks have gone too far this time. Reporting the ethics investigations findings to wit the guilt of my wife, was bad enough, then you had to smear my child bride mother daughter and her Hockey beau, and then her $$ wardrobe and the uncle teds court stuff and then her wish to be the prez and what next…. nailing palin in hustler..did that french dude really say that….(still takin; as todd) where can I get a copy?
marksmyword aka Barrel McRaven Palin (13:36:17) :,
I think they do. Maybe this was a McCain camp set up? That would be too funny.
UK Lady, if you’re gonna quote the Bugs man.. it’s she’s an ULTRA MAROON..!
Oh my gawd, that was hilarious and painful to listen to. Even more so if you know the references in French.
And she didn’t catch the reference to Nailin’ Paylin, the “edgy biography”? That was so funny!
Mon Dieu!
Is this for real?
It is hilarious and I love it! Sarah is such a dim wit.
Now get out there and work and vote folks so these idiots do NOT get elected!
My friends, we are not going to let a little fun ruin our historical march to power. Sarah is resting now and the rest of her family are , as usual, flying somewhere they were not invited to..Cindy passed the phone to Sarah by mistake as the caller ID was in French so she assumed Sarcozy was on the line. Remember to vote…
la belle brûlure ,,, Good luck with that Palin ,,
HHHHHHHHHHhhhhhaaa ha haaaaaa
It will take a while for that burn to heal ,,,,,,, wow ,,
OMG………..she is just missing a “couple” of cards from the deck………at the very end did i hear her in the back ground say …PRANKED……..feel so dumb……….buy those guys dinner…..this is priceless
It’s hard to type while I’m snickering…
The prank is on Huffington Post and Politico; her staff (minus the aide, I suppose) said Her Highness was “mildly amused”. It’s only a matter of time before this shows up on network news-
Must go forward this on to more friends (heh heh…maybe all my dear Repug relatives)
Recently overheard at McGrumpy HQ
McG… What’s this crap about Barbie being punked?
McG lemming… Yes Sir. she was indeed punked by a radio station in Canada.
McG.., Well, god damn.. This is rediculous. This is insane. This is war.. I want patriots pointed at Canada and 4 battalions sent there immediately.
McG lemming… Sir, it was only a joke and i don’t think you can go to war with Canada, you’re not president.
McG… You disobeying an order soldier??? I told you want you do, and you don’t question me, you do it. I’m tired of the torture in Nam, and it’s about time we fix it. We’re invading Canada at dawn.
McG lemming.., Sir, this isn’t vietman, and it’s not 1964 and it was a joke.
McG… MPs, arrest this traitor.. He needs to be shot. He’s a commie traitor.
McG lemming.. Sir, ummm.. did you take your pills today? You know how you are without your pills..!
McG.. You dare disobey me..
He leaps at the lemming.. and misses and hits the floor.
McG lemming… Will someone get me Dr. Giggles.. He needs his medication STAT..
@Marty: lol, you always crack me up ! omg, SWWNBN can’t see France from her house, can she ?!?! she would probably mistake the Eiffel Tower for an oil derrick ! Dreeel babeee dreeeel !
……in all fairness, the Rube is capable of sucking up VERY POLITELY, when necessary….ooh la la!

————————————–
I could only listen for a minute. To me it is just too embarrassing. I just can’t take any more of this. Below is a transcript link just up. But I can’t read it. This just makes me all too uncomfortable. How could her communications handlers have ever allowed something this harebrained to happen? This is like watching an episode of “I Love Lucy” on some kind of political LSD. Can anyone make this stuff up?
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/11/1/163922/235/763/649110
Today’s my birthday ,, what a glorious gift these guys gave pulling this one off.
I’m embarrassed. Please; someone tell me that wasn’t really Palin on that phone. Please tell me that these people who want to run the country aren’t really that dumb. This is a joke right?
Oh, I just can’t stop grining – snicker, snicker.
If she is this easy………well then just fill in the blank.
Hej sosad, Happy Birthday!!! (you got a gift that keeps on giving!)
I don’t know who is dumber. Palin, or her staffers who couldn’t wait to hand her the phone.
Yeah ,,this is the best birthday I ever had
Somebody needs to get up a Transcript.
Quick!!
FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”

Obama aide: Timing of news about his aunt ’suspicious’
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/01/obama-aide-timing-of-news-about-his-aunt-suspicious/
**GUYS, PLEASE GO TO THE CNN TICKER AND LEAVE A REPLY.
I JUST DID!
I can’t believe she has never heard of Johnny Holiday!!!! Hilarious!!!! They gave it away a minute into it and she is so culturally OBTUSE that she doesn’t know….
Apart from her utter and obvious cluelessness, I am upset by her lack of formality. It almost sounds as if she is chewing gum. ‘Hi, It’s Sarah!’ ?? This is what she thinks a conversation with a foreign head of state should sound like? She calls him Nicholas? It’s really tremendously embarrassing.
I almost lost it when they asked if Joe the plumber was her husband. Everyone knows the first dude doesn’t work.
Time to pass this on to some republicons that were still clinging to the Idea she had a brain ….
Marty sto-o-o-opppp ! lmfao !
Zut alors, quelle NINCOMPOOP!

@Deborah,
Spot on! That’s what gets me the most about her. The duh factor!
Good Lord.
Gov. Palin, tant pis pour toi. Tant pis pour toi. Tant pis pour toi.
Your comments are hilarious-!
My sister in Seattle just called, and she was cackling so hard I could barely understand her…now I wish I’d studied French instead of Latin:)
@Michele –
I, too, find it painful to listen to her. But the guys do a lot of the talking. And it is worth it! Words really can’t describe.
Apparently pranking is making a comeback on both sides even in Alaska.
After driving to the post office yesterday, I noticed someone stuck an ‘I love Sarah’ magnet on my car next to my ‘Alaska for Obama’ sign and ‘No Pebble Mine’ sticker. Some Alaskans have a deep seated need to shove how much they ‘love Sarah’ down our anti-Palin crowd’s throats.
Does Sarah the Sycophant not realize that France is socialist? “You’re a good example for us here?”
Take it and run with it Obama campaign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The funniest part, is that France is more Socialist than we could ever be!
Sarah you are a BIG CROUTON.
I wonder how many people got fired over that one. Note to Canada-Neither Alaska or the lower 48 want her. Would you consider political asylum for her in your country after the election?
@tspey — some Alaskans realllllllyyyyy suck. There’s just no way around it.
Sosad,
Happy Birthday!
PS – Your present arrives on Wednesday morning!
I trust you will take good care of it………….
@tspey — can you fit McLachlan (spelling?) or any other last name under there and keep it on your vehicle????
Rob in Santa Cruz (13:37:09)
I’ve worked on a ton of campaigns, mostly as the Press Secretary. If I had been in the room when that call ended I would have quietly opened the door, gone to the parking lot and duct taped my lips to the tail pipe of an idling car.
With three days to go all you want is no screw ups. The message is now distilled down to the bare bones.
McCain: He’ll raise your taxes. Grrr…I’ll fight for you.
Obama: Will you be better off four years from now? It’s time for change. Together we can do it.
Biden: McCain is a good guy but he’s embraced the Bush Agenda and it’s time for a new direction.
Palin: He’s a Socialist. Joe the Plumber. Joe Six Pack.
Not only is this “off message” but it cuts to the heart of her biggest weakness – foreign policy experience. Even if it HAD been Sarkozy, would that be the conversation you’d want her to have? Plus, he’s freakin’ Socialist!
I doubt the gaffe will change any voter’s mind. That’s not the point.
The point is that in the last remaining hours, she is going to be a laughing stock across radio and TV.
Trust me, not the way a campaign wants to play it out.
Maybe she thinks SNL is a serious show….
@tspey,
Noooooooo – I just think that’s so rude. No matter how I feel about the stuff that I see, I will defend their right to their opinion. Shame on your fellow Alaskan.
I left a comment on CNN below the Obama’s aunt story- and asked if anyone had heard Palin’s prank call. I’m hoping CNN will pick up the event:)
BigPete, bobg, et al- I am applauding your humor, when I am not dabbing my eyes with a Kleenex from laughing so hard.
Oh geeez. What an idiot!
Au revoir, SP! Buh-bye!!!
The landslide on Tuesday can’t come soon enough!
Just read one of the comments on another site -
“we’re living through a karma shitstorm”!
So funny ..
OMG. I am still in shock over this prank. Palin really thinks the sophisticated President of France would speak like that to her???? I guess if she’s used to it, it shows you what passes for normal chitchat among GOP elected officials. Maybe that’s how Ted S. speaks to her….She is such an embarrassment. Seriously (I’m not trying to stir something up), I don’t think Palin could have really graduated from college.
@BigPete-
So Palin is now CroutonBarbie, not CaribouBarbie?
Wow, just wow! Also. Yay Canadians! We love you!
@sosad…………..happy birthday
Oh, I do wish John Cleese had been able to hear this before he was on KO – can you imagine…????
Does she really think foreign heads of state behave like that? More proof of her over inflated ego…
Bobg (14:05:05) :
I wonder how many people got fired over that one. Note to Canada-Neither Alaska or the lower 48 want her. Would you consider political asylum for her in your country after the election?
———-
Sorry, on behalf of Canada, I regret to say that our track record on taking US citizens as refugees is not so hot recently. You’re going to have to convince the Refugee Board that her persecution on the basis of political belief (?) is more credible than that of a conscientious objector to the Iraq war. Oh, the shame.
sosad, Happy Birthday. Your belated and much anticipated gift comes late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. And it’s a gift that will keep giving!
A Brit abroad aka Flag Hussein “That One” Cobra (14:16:28) :
Does she really think foreign heads of state behave like that?
Sarah’s never met a head of state, so she thinks that they behave just like those whose heads are in a state (from toking).
Nailin Palin
Well GOOD…………
OMG
What else could be said.
Caribou Barbie? I prefer backwoods demagog.
Kos has this call as a transcript now. The more I hear it/read about it, the funnier it gets. This has really made my day.
I can’t open the link, either here or on the Daily Kos! The link is blocked and I can’t figure out how to open it. Eventually, I’ll get it.
Normally, I would be with the poster who can’t listen to her, but to hear this I’d suck it up.
I listened to this while skyping to others…it is unbelievably stupid in that she actually F L I R T S over the phone, without the wink, wink! She is so unbelievably unaware that she fails to get the hints: like” Joe the Plumber” is like “Marcel the man with the bread under his armpits”….is she DAFT?
I choked on my apple cider….now I need wine!
Working NC blue! Had lunch in Cary, NC….oops, Obama office nextdoor! Had to stop in and say “Hey….we’re in Durham tomorrow at Obama HQ.
Note: Obama folks are so good, so friendly, so nice, so comforting!
Likely will have little time to post from tomorrow on, busy doing the “Obama thing”. But I’ll check in when I can.
We’ve voted…if you need to do it, go early on 11/4. I love the “early vote” it gives me the freedom to “man the polls!”
Stay strong, be resolute, fear not, and vote Obama!
The country—what is left of it—belongs to us…we will rebuild it right. You will help. We will prevail…and America will reclaim her position on the global stage.
Oh, SP doesn’t even know what socialism is. I laughed so much at this. Did I hear it correctly and did he say he could see Belgium from his ass?
@SMR,
Good on you fer pickin’ Canada…..looks like you will have some same thinkin’ neighbors there!
But……..I’m puttin’ my plug in there for New Mexico. No place better in my world. Please come.
She is beyond stupid
And what of her staff? They just put anyone on the phone??Geeze!
McGeeze gonna sieze over this….and of course he will blame on Obama! Isn’t Obama gonna make them apologize!
OMG! Its on MSNBC, lol!lol!
IT was just on HARDBALL with Chris Matthews…. They only played a small part of it…

I’d say at this point in the campaign he’ll just roll his eyes and sigh.
OFF TOPIC – Did everyone already post this news here…that good ole Sen. Stevens might lose his law license???
http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/574955.html
Ooh, just found a link with an interview with the pranksters themselves: http://www.thestar.com/News/USElection/article/528902
In an interview today, Audette told The Canadian Press it wasn’t easy setting up the interview with Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s running mate, and described the accomplishment as the pair’s biggest triumph to date.
“It really took a lot of work,” he said.
“We had to go through the Secret Service, the people in her entourage. It’s the biggest coup so far. We’re proud to add (this prank) to our top hits.”
It took the pair, known for securing surreptitious interviews with celebrities, politicians and heads of state, five days to set up the call, Audette said. The secret to getting powerful people on the line? Time and persistence.
“I wanted to see how (Palin) was on an intellectual level,” Audette said, comparing the latest prank to the duo’s crank call with pop idol Britney Spears.
“You can see that she’s, well, not really brilliant.”
It’s now on Bloomberg, The Canadian Press, AFP, Associated Press, Washington Post, USA Today, BBC and about another 170 national and international news sources.
This’ll have John McCain reaching for his Viagra, won’t it?
this just so hard to believe
International Herald Tribune in France, the BBC, Bloomberg…LOL
…..perfect…..

I’m still wondering if her own aides might have set her up? We know at least a few of them hate her and it is really hard to believe campaign professionals could be stupid enough to believe Sarkozy was calling (don’t they have caller ID??) without checking it out better.
P.S. half of my posts show up under “Michele” and half under “mickeymusing.” It’s something to do with WordPress–I’m really not trying to hide my identity.

My terribly, wonderful four adult children came up with this:
They are taking tomato/rice soup and buttered bread to their polling places on Tuesday while PROUDLY wearing Obama pins…along with spoons and napkins.
Can you do the same?
It is online at CBS and ABC; my favorite line from ABC:
“You know, I can see you as President one day,” the caller cooed, in an accent like Pepe Le Pew.
( I am still snickering…too bad it happened to such a nice person-not)
Alaska Report has become one of my must-see sites this campaign. Perhaps if I’d have found it earlier — and if many other Alaskans had as well — we wouldn’t be having these discussions, so not sure if it’s a good thing or bad thing…
Anyway, check out this link, it asks a very valid question that Alaskans deserve to have answered: http://www.alaskadispatch.com/tundra-talk/1-talk-of-the-tundra/269-why-wont-palin-explain-her-association-with-convicted-felon-bill-allen.html
Hi Shikago, there are sooo many ways this is funny!!!!
@Cassie Jeep — Can they wear pins on polling premises? Some states don’t allow it, so just wondering.
Re: McCain’s anger. He has had enough of the good gov by now. And this is just one more sign of how “prepared” she is to be VP.
You KNOW that he is totally embarrassed by Sarah…if nothing else because he sees himself as entitled American royalty and….Sarah and Todd are just two backwoodsy folk from Mat-Su Valley…Truly, I think he and Cindy have been metaphorically holding their noses around the Palins the last two months.
@ Rob in Santa Cruz,
Even if it HAD been Sarkozy, would that be the conversation you’d want her to have?
________________________________________________________________________
How embarrassing. If there was ever any doubt, the woman is not equipped or prepared to be either vice president or president.
Her greeting, “hellooooo!” sounded like she was talking to a blind date who was calling to find out what time to pick her up.
ok ok,, i am sitting here, wine is practically going up my nose i’m laughing so hard! This is priceless, i mean PRICELESS! And to read all of your commentaries, i just have to say,,, my hat is off to all of my fellow mudflatters, you guys are just hilarious!
And, i need to add, i don’t understand much french, but i totally understand the points being made in this comment section. Keep it going, i can’t wait to hear Keith discuss this tonite!
Amazing! Provides evidence that she–
1-has no idea what’s happening in Canada
2-could be talked into just about anything (3am phone call)
3-has no experience talking with heads of state
4- has no sense of humor
etc

_________________________________________
Don’t know the full truth about this, but I think it was Roland Martin of CNN who said he has listeners who are spreading the word not to wear T’s or pins, but they can’t be stopped from voting because of it.
I almost wish I lived in a state that had early voting. I think I’d make a tape of my fave Obama tunes and make the waiting line a party line. Of course, that could get me booted, but why not have some fun with like-minded thinkers in those long lines?
From the start of that, I kept expecting her to say “Excuse me? Can you repeat that?”, but NO, not once! She just kept prattling on like it was a fan on the phone,…giggle, giggle.
I kept thinking, that she HAD to be onto it, especially when he said he liked to kill things, and then when he mentioned “Nailin’ Palin”, but NO, she didn’t even ask him to repeat it!
Maybe she couldn’t really hear them,..I ‘m sorry,…having a hard time believing she’s (or anybody,…especially a woman) is this dumb.
BTW, on Canadian news last night, apparently loads of canadians were streaming into the US starting Thursday night to help campaign for Obama.

Everbody with a sense of humour is having a “karma shitstorm”
The McLame camp is getting a “fire and brimstonestorm”.
The only piece of foreign knowledge she demonstrated in that piece was knowing that Sarkozy had recently married a beautiful woman. [Sounded like she couldn't remember Carla Bruni's name though.]
Not knowing the name of Canada’s Prime Minister is pretty bad. Not that I did, but then I live on the other side of the planet and don’t manage any trade agreements with Canada… O.o
I have to say my first reaction was they must have used a Sarah Palin impersonator. How can anyone be so dumb and so vain? ROTFL
Even English speaking Japanese hearing this are incredulous about her missing the Johnny Halliday reference.
@Goalie –
We were all set to take a trip past March to NM and AZ to check out & buy some land we’d been considering. Then came the news that we were being repatriated. Sigh. So, we put down all our hard-earned-saved money on this house thinking we’d be here for 3-5 years. Now we’re having a hard time selling. Of course. Cuz the economy is sucking. Brand new house, still under builder’s warranty. Brand new lawn, fence, landscaping, & much more. Not even any looks for the past 2 months.
But once we sell and get some (not all!) of the money we put into it back we are going questing again for a place in NM or AZ mountains! Perhaps we will all keep in touch here long after election day (though probably not as often as we all skulk back to our real lives) and I will be able to look you up when we do our property-hunting trip.
Don’t you guys love the Obama “Wink” ad? It’s priceless.
What could be better than McCain eating his words, with a generous topping of poll numbers taking a nose dive because of his incompetent VP pick.
Oh, and I wonder if she blinked ?
gary wrote: “(Palin) – has no sense of humor
etc”
Agreed…because a sense of humor is a sign of intelligence… and it’s pretty apparent she ain’t got none….
I know about a college where, where the students have found a dumb prof. They say nonsense or offthetopic outrageous things in class (like report of Hustler story above.. notice she’s still not getting it)). Seems very similar. We already knew prof in question was dimmest bulb in program.
This call is simply more proof that Palin is COMPLETELY prepared to be POTUS at any moment…NOT. If she can get punk’d that easily, imagine what could happen if she accepted calls with a more sinister motive. Palin should not be allowed to be on the same continent with the nuclear codes.
Oh my gosh. From the transcript…
FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s “Nailin Palin.”
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.
nswfm CA (14:14:38) :
Wow, just wow! Also. Yay Canadians! We love you!
———–
Yeah we have a great sense of humor. GW was great for the past 8 years and so was Clinton for the 8 before that….

Wonder how McCain will take it?
I’d say at this point in the campaign he’ll just roll his eyes and sigh.
*********************
I’d say he’s gonna be pretty red-faced mad. Flailing air quotes……….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He’s gonna be mad and…..blame it on Obama or Obama’s campaign and demand a apology…it’s standard, blame it on Obama… Then he will demand Obama get a apology from the the 2 Canadians! That’s how NERVY this mcLame is!!!
Umm, let’s say you’re the veep candidate and you get a call from the head of a country — maybe France as an example. Wouldn’t you call the presidential candidate’s team and let them know before you take the call? So now McCain knows that she will take a call from any foreign leader without his clearance. Rogue indeed.
I can sense a McCain in the Membrane on Countdown with KO on this one!!! I imagine Rachel will have something to say about this as well.
Wonder if the black phone on palinaspresident will soon be ringing….
Palin lie woman !
The double of Barack Obama lifes in France.
http://allainjulesblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/le-sosie-de-barack-obama.html
A lot of Canadians know about the “Canada, my Ass, it’s Alaska’s gas!” sign that she used to have on her office wall, so,…she’s having good relations with who?
I’m surprised she knew who Sarkozy is!
But how did she miss “Marcel the guy with bread in his armpit”?
Hahahaha. Someone else on Daily Kos named Kossack novelle just wrote: “She (Palin) deserved it for sitting down with no pre-conditions.”
@SMR,
Well, I’ve been pushing the idea of having a Mudflatter convention in Alaska next summer.
Wouldn’t that be great if we all could convene in one place at the same time?
I want to keep that thought alive. I would love to meet all the fabulous folks up there and see Alaska through “blue eyes”….
More Light than Heat (14:57:54) :
Wonder if the black phone on palinaspresident will soon be ringing….
~~~~~~~~~
The black phone isn’t ringing, but her coat goes open and 2012 is there…!
I like the dinosaur that walks by sometimes
Ohhhh, baby, baby, baby./ Love that Quebecois humour.
Ahhh, Monsieur President Sarkozy, indeed.
When he mentions he wants to go hunting by helicopter…however, what he says in French matters… “Like we say in French, au pour le tuer les babie focques aussi” [Translation: to kill baby seals, also][*phocque/-seal, sounds like fuck], that’s more pointed than stating afterwards about not hunting with Cheney. [oh she's a good shot‚ frick, I'll bet]
The song that hot Carla the top model wrote for her, “de rouge les levres sur un cochon” [Translation: red lipstick on a pig] then he sings ‘it’s his life, joe the plumber…’, they’re referencing a popular rocker from Quebec, Bon Jovi’s ‘It’s My Life’.
‘Sarkozy’ says ‘Loved the documentary they made of your life, you know, ‘ustler’s Nailin’ Pailin’. ‘Ohhh good, thank you’, she responds. ‘That was really edgy’ they respond back. OMG.
I must say, Governor, you’ve been pranked…
Subtle as a sledge hammer. A lesson in how to be nice, even though you don’t understand squat, from Sarah Palin.
Think of it though, she did know which country he represented shhhh……seems impromptu phone call are the order of the day. WooHoo.
*phocque background —
Recently, during the Canadian elections, the Prime Minister [Stephen Harper] made huge cuts in the Arts funding.
From a popular band, Beau Dommage, Michel Rivard, made a video of a chap going cap on hand to the government asking for a grant…
‘Did someone say fuck?’
‘Non, le phocque’.
‘Who said fuck?’
Culture In Danger [English subtitles].
There’ll be a payback in here, somewhere. McCain’s a vengeful critter.
Oh well, Kinda kicks the snot out of the Obama’s illegal auntie story.
@SMR (14:42:51) :

Thanks. It was a great read – must have been a wonderful listen!
oh my Goddess, that woman is an embarrassment to all females..
Mickeymusing @ 14:40:48
I had exactly the same thought listening to the beginning as the staff person hands her the phone. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out they were in on it.
I too, could not listen to the whole thing. It was just too embarrassing. What a first class idiot. How on earth did this woman ever get to this point. She is a reject from a tv reality show–Who’s My Vice President!
Dear Me. This is unbelievable.
Several excellent french speakers translate on DailyKos comments. Really embarrassing for the Republican Party and the US. Get the hook and get these idiots out of our lives. I’m not gonna make it to Tuesday. Thank goodness I’ve already voted.
@ Susie in Jersey (15:03:16) :
You can’t stand to listen to it?
@ caligirl
Thanks — hadn’t seen the 0-12 sign. Is that armor she’s wearing under her coat???
OFF TOPIC – AOL’s election quiz is pretty darn easy. Did I score perfectly because I’m a Mudflatter? I think so!
http://news.aol.com/elections/article/test-your-08-presidential-race-iq/234966
OMG! I can’t wait to read all the comments. I think my brain just exploded. There is soooo much I want to say…SCREAM…but I am just completely flummoxed, speechless and having difficulty breathing. I think my brain has finally been blown to bits.
I mean, HEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOO, Nicholas! I mean, she sounds soooo flattered that HE would be calling her. It’s difficult to imagine that it didn’t occur to her to clear this high-level communication with the President of France with anyone. OMG, how stupid is that?! And as far as the whole conversation is concerned, I just can’t even begin to…I can’t think straight…what a dunce.
How do you say “stupid idiot” in French?
Tuned in late…outside most of the day and then our cable went flooey for a while.
You literally cannot make these things up. Can any more bizarre things happen in the next few days? *shakes head, hands still on head*
I wouldn’t think you could get her phone number, cell phone no less, I thought that was hard to do. Guess not.
Gotta go read the transcript…
Cringe-worthy and more. Ouch.
*sniff*
Too many links, too much cursing, I’m in the spam pile.

UK Lady Turning Turtle Annette AKA UK Lady …
Oh this is absolutely a bloody RIOT!!! I just e-mailed it to everyone in my address book.
FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters
I loved that she asked for the station call letters even though they gave them out to her!
This has GOT to be the end of her politcal career.
You cannot do something like this – ever – and redeem yourself.
Happy dancing in New Mexico here.
Sacre BLEU!!!! What a moron.
I hope this weekend if FILLED to the brim with trashing this woman. What have they got to lose at this point? Take her down. She JUST doesn’t deserve to be getting any sort of political air time. She’s a moron in a Halston dress.
Are you sure the radio statio didn’t use a Sarah Palin sound alike so the joke is on us? What about caller ID? A call from Canada woudn’t even have the right country code.

I almost lost it when they asked if Joe the plumber was her husband. Everyone knows the first dude doesn’t work.

Neither does Joe the Plumber!!! lol

@Nancy,
Oh no dear – It’s already viral and has been on MSNBC.
This is for real and it’s over for Miss Neiman Marxist.
Dancing in the chair now! This could not get any better………..
Also, I feel slightly badly for her extremely incompetent GOP campaign staff. Do you think some of them went to Wasilla High? Heads are gonna role on the staff–or they won’t be hired again next GOP go-round…
“Are you sure the radio statio didn’t use a Sarah Palin sound alike so the joke is on us?”
The Palin campaign has already issued an official response, so it’s looking true.
Oh, Canada! (We love you!)
Here we go again, Sarah Palin walking that fine line between “maverick” and “wack job.”
_______________________________________________
Sarah “Barracuda” Palin – Joe “the plumber” in 2012?
Ooops, should be heads are gonna “roll”…..in my previous post.
Just read the transcript, there’s a lot of interesting stuff in there. AKM, I am sure you will comment soon. Will read again myself.
@Anonymous (14:41:59)
I thought her “helLLLOOOooo” greeting sounded more like she was a call girl for one of those 1-900 outfits, trying to get her caller into “the mood.”
Oh. My. God. I just sent my sis a desperate email a short while ago -
“OMG… I just got back from Bemidji a bit ago, unloaded stuff into the house, got ready to make some coffee, and Jim pulled up. He’s the old man who owns the property across the street and the little sliver with my greenhouse trailer on it. We enjoy talking when he stops by now and then -until today. He’s the ultimate, dyed-in-the-wool, cool-aid-drenched Palin groupie and has every bit of Republican propaganda down pat and memorized verbatim AND he spouts it off like a recording. I think I’m gonna be sick. Am slurping peaches out of the can as fast as I can gobble, in lieu of chocolate, not that it’ll help much. I need a mental shower (disinfection hoch drei at least) SO badly.
I’ve read about it, but I really didn’t imagine that I of all people would ever to have to listen to this kind of crap in person.
YUCK!!!!!”
- and come on here to find THIS!!! The competent Palin with all her experience, the best of the best for the ticket, SCREWING UP BEYOND BELIEF.
Thanks, AKM. When I get done laughing my arse off and crying like a madwoman, I’ll have me a little nervous breakdown for a while.
What a freak show! That woman canNOT be for real. No way, no how, her planet must have exploded and she’s the only life form that survived somehow, sort of.
Off to read the transcript…
wonder if CM got the video link from me.. i called NBC in DC and left him email..
Ilive outside of DC and have done work at NBC a long time ago..
The assistant editor i talked to hadn’t heard about the barbie video when i called, so maybe we get credit.. told him to find the link on mudflats of course!!
Didn’t get credit, but i’ll take it for the team!..

The Perfect Storm
Can you hear the Republican party disintegrating as we post?
Oh Lord, I hope KO covers this tonight!!!
Maybe Joe Lieberman set it up. I mean she’s gotta go, right?
Okay…my thoughts are beginning to sort themselves out finally. And, I have to say, Palin’s response on this one is priceless:
“FNS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.”
It is really comforting to hear that she thinks France’s socialism is a good example for America. Of course, she could just look to Alaska for that.
For those who think we were punked, i don’t think so.. listen to the conversation and it’s clearly Barbie.. She talks with barbieisms, and says things only barbie will say.. it was sorta funny when she addressed who she thought was the president of France and she called him Nicholas.. That was totally amazing.. Even Bush would address him as President Sarkozy..
The shooting from helicopters and the forced laugh, she missed the ‘my wife is great in bed’ line or ignored it.. But all in all, she fried herself on that one.. i was really hoping he’d have gotten her to say something really, REALLY bad.. too bad..
It is the real deal. The Palin spokes people admitted to it all and then said, “C’est la vie.”
You cannot make this stuff up! Everyday I am amazed, and a bit disturbed that 25% of the population still think she’s great.
Base is the right word.
Just talked with a friend that said “now we know what the Kissinger meeting sounded like”.
Dang! So interesting. I was talking to a friend the other day, who is a supervisor of a bunch of convenience stores. One of his employees had been flim flammed out of $475. because she believed the person on the other end of the phone.
I was a legal secretary (a LONG time ago), but my old attorney drummed it into my head, don’t ever believe that the person on the other end of the phone is who they say they are. Too bad for Sarah (and the convenience store employee) that she didn’t learn this lesson from Mr. Mac.
Quel crétin. S’il vous plaît, cher Dieu, permettez à ses enfants d’être plus élégants.
Shikago – sitting here in the UK, trawling the web, laughing like a drain!!!
O really does know that if you give them enough rope they hang themselves!
This has gone so viral, every time I hear a comment from a different poster with a cracking sense of humour I go into spasms of giggles.
Still like somebody on Kos best “Karma shitstorm”.
Wonder if McWho will excuse himself from SNL, he can’t be feeling very funny!
Ohhhhh…. I’m listening again… can’t breathe… shock and disbelief every time!!! She doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together…
c’etait formidable!! PUNKED!
Their phone call to President Jacques Chirac was voted one of the top 30 prank phone calls of all time – this one might come close.
“singer Stef Carse as Canada’s prime minister ?” Always glad to hear that someone running for Pres or VP in the US is completely oblivious as to who the heads of their two neighbouring countries are. Bush was ‘punked’ when one of our comedy shows told him when he was running in 2000 that Canadian Prime Minister “Putin” sent his best wishes and was hoping for him to win. Bush didn’t blink and said “tell him thanks”. Sarah better start studying a little harder. Lol.
I’m beside myself. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. It’s completely surreal. Did anyone see the video of the Peruvian shamans sending good vibes to Obama? It’s on CNN. Hmmm.
It’s so satisfying to watch her ruin her own political career.
What sized fancy smancy stiletto does she wear – and do you think her mouth is big enough to shove it in there?
What I want to know is, who is gonna reach in there and yank it out for her?
This is just to good to be true!
Hey, does anyone out here have a link to the show that she did here in Alaska with some radio “shock jocks?” It was, I think, the beginning of the end for enlightened Alaskans, her being VERY juvenile and bitchy about Lyda Green. And so unprofessional you’d have though it was a 7th grader they were talking to.
I think it’s a nice karmic circle for Bible Spice, and I hope that Lyda Green has enjoyed it.
Anyway, would be great to get that recording out into the internet right now as a nice juxtaposition. Basically it shows that in spite of the trial by fire that she’s been undergoing she has always been, remains, will always be, a stupid ignorant biyatch.
I am still absolutely flabbergasted by this.
Should we send the video link to Bill Kristol, care of the NY Times????? After all, we have him to thank for Palin’s roll-out…
@ Marty (VA)
Don’t forget that Dubya set the bar pretty low by calling Putin “Vladi”.
Listen an smile
Woody Gutherie, singin about Sarah…”So long it’s been good to know ya”
It is surprising to me that anyone can get SP’s phone number. Don’t they have unlisted numbers? And she obviously doesn’t listen–she just plows ahead with the talking points. What an ego to think the Pres. of ANY country would call her!
Here’s an ADN link to the article. Now we have to find the audio!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.adn.com/opinion/story/295464.html
What, no pre conditions when meeting with forign leaders, she just takes their calls without any verification, what a goof.
This is one for the smelling salts!!
Forgive my unnerviness but did anyone post how to email these guys to say:
Nous aimais vous!
Chris Matthews/Hardball shared the prank; you can tell from his smirk he really wanted to add more than two cents worth- the mudflatters’ responses are funnier, hands down.
Love it, love it…
UKLady-
You’re right! I’ll have to watch SNL tonight; I hope they can’t resist adding something about phone calls-
I am done thinking this is funny and have moved into the appalled column over the fact that she assumes she can call him “Nicholas.” A silk purse out of sow’s ear indeed. Or a wolf foot, or bear blanket. I am so embarrassed and I suppose this has traveled through the series of tubes to Europe. No way no how no Palin.
Here’s a great New Yorker article about the Anchorage radio show incident. The youtube audio has mysteriously disappeared… says no longer available… wonder why????????????

OMG

Looking forward to SNL – almost as much as the Sunday talking heads!! Billy Kristol and Dick Morris should be absolutely bloody hilarious, wriggling and squirming and making pathetic excuses!!

Your comments are hilarious-!
My sister in Seattle just called, and she was cackling so hard I could barely understand her…now I wish I’d studied French instead of Latin:)
I’ve looked at this twice and completely lost it on the Marcel/bread/armpit. I called my mom and read her the transcript over the phone–she is a retired French teacher and speaks 5 languages fluently. I completely lost it AGAIN on the Marcel/bread/armpit–tears streaming down my face, cackling, etc.
This has made my day. Thank you and all of your priceless comments, too!
I should interject and say that these guys managed to get ahold of Queen Elizabeth II, saying that it was then PM Jean Christien.

The McCain Campaign is not liking this, especially since this has really gone viral. And now the media outlets have it!
i love that they couldn’t scrub it fast enuf.
About taking her in to our country after the election….okay, just her no todd or kids, but you guys have got to keep david frumm!
Talking of viral, have you all seen McLoser snuffling, he just can’t catch a break can he, just a cold.
No Palin in Canada! That’s where we’re going! No way! Send her to Iceland, it’s bankrupt, she can be the new national attraction, bring in tourist dollars.
I don’t think it will go anywhere…been listening to MSNBC all day and have heard nothing.
I don’t think the news will embarrass her that way, then it would be called sexism.
Wish they would , but alas nothing will happen.

I was thinking CRETIN in French-Palinese….more or less. ca va?
Even funnier, are you aware that Sarkozy does not speak English?
He speaks through a translator.
Had I studied Spanish, I could make more $, but thank my parents for French classes from age 5 through college. Listening to the call had me on the floor.
For the person who asked Cassie Jeep Palin whether pins and t-shirts and other party or candidate-affiliated stuff could be worn inside the polling place, for NC voters the answer is YES. You can’t carry in and leave political ” propaganda” in the voting booths, nor can you hand out anything candidate or party related within 50 feet of the door of the polling place.
For us election officials, working at NC polling places ” no, we can’t! ” – DESPITE the fact that we do have and wear badges with our names which identify also us as Democratic or Republican Judges…
Even funnier, are you aware that Sarkozy does not speak English?
This story just got picked up by the Associated Press. Pass the popcorn!

Jesus, even though I see someone mentioned Chris Matthews referenced it, I still want to think maybe some of it is faked? A few times it really didn’t sound alot like Palin. Maybe it was dubbed in, some of it? Jesus.

Always knew I loved Canada!!!! I don’t think caller ID works on international calls – it for sure doesn’t when my relatives in Sweden call the US, all we get is “unknown name, unknown number.” Maybe it’s different with Canada, don’t know – no relatives there. The assistant sounds a little flustered to have Sarkozy’s assistant on the line.
My favorite part is almost the very end, where you get his confused, agitated mumbling (that’s what sold me on it being real) and then the assistant gets on and says she has to hang up now. Why they don’t just hang up, I have no idea. I think she didn’t understand a lot of what he was saying and was just nodding and going along – truly terrifying if Putin were ever to call her:
“oh, yes, Vlad, you wanted to annex Alaska and Canada,” giggle, giggle. Long pause as Piper whispers in her ear. “Oh, you were saying you wanted the recipe to that baked Alaska you had in Canada. Oops, silly me.” Giggle, giggle. Popping gum sound. “Now which button controls those nukie nukes, better recall them. Uh, John….”

I wonder how much ammunitioin she will supply the media after they lose this election.
doja just think that H.R.C. rolling on the floor….rolling around….with that deep laugh of hers……..after sp tried to tie herself to all those cracks in the glass ceiling………karma really is a B****…….yuu betcha

We’re about to find out that narcissists take themselves very seriously.
msnbc talking about her being punked right now! i love it!
Hiya El from Saskatchewan, it is a great feeling to know our people are with most Americans at this critical time. I think its safe to say Canada is right in their with all Americans.

Link to vile radio show with Palin laughin at poor cancer survivor, please don’t anyone ever feel sorry for her.
@El from Saskatchewan (15:58:36) :
Thank you for that!
What a picture that paints……
ATTENTION WASILLA RESIDENTS! RAPE KITS ARE ON SALE! BUY NOW!!!
The whole 6 minutes is going to be on msnbc in a few minutes David Schouster just said
Passing the popcorn and a glass of wine! Let’s toast to big egos and limited brain capacity!
Oh wait I think she will be screaming about her first amendment rights. We are criticizing her waaaaaaaaaaa!
@knikgoose HUSSEIN!! justaskin (15:06:14) :
@ Susie in Jersey (15:03:16) :
You can’t stand to listen to it?
~~~
Can’t sit to listen to her either.
Finally got the new Adobe Flash Player installed and listened to part of it, until I started getting nauseous listening to that voice.
Who is going to be thrown from her plane at 30,000 feet? On my, can you imagine the heat her staffers are taking now that she has been totally humiliated world wide? Brings a smile to my face.
Bev (15:47:12) :
I don’t think it will go anywhere…been listening to MSNBC all day and have heard nothing.
It was already on Chris Matthews weekend special. Just a small part of it though.
Cassie Jeep Pike Palin (Wish I were Trout) (14:44:27) :
Off topic———–
My terribly, wonderful four adult children came up with this:
They are taking tomato/rice soup and buttered bread to their polling places on Tuesday while PROUDLY wearing Obama pins…along with spoons and napkins.
Can you do the same?
————————-
YAY! Cassie, I am so there with you. Is it possible for Rotary or the Girl Scouts or any service organisation to have hot dog stands, etc?
People are going to get hungry and tired waiting in line for hours with no sustenance.
I see the opportunity for a party (but then, I could look under a rock and see the opportunity for a party).
More power to ya, Cassie – you have great kids!
Just came in from a great big San Francisco downpour and listened to this…I keep thinking that this is not Bible Spice…and then read the confirmations…
What is it everyone says…
Stick her with a fork…She done!
YAY!

Mudflatters-
Your comments are the best, but if you want to read some new “insights”, go to Huffington Post, read the article, and click on “Comments”.
Two of my favorite:
“I guess the dodo isn’t extinct yet, there’s one still hangin’ in there. You betcha.”
“How do you get Sarah Palin’s eyes to light up? Shine a flashlight in her ear.”
Oh, my stars! Wonderful comments – thanks for sharing them with us.
anyone interested in the live chat? go to the forum and then click on live chat
@marti –
It’s totally legit, her staff has already released a statement about it!
I REALLY REALLY NEEDED THIS FUN !
Classic: “How do you get Sarah Palin’s eyes to light up?
Shine a flashlight in her ear.”
Oh noooo… can’t do live chat… must go to bed, really really late (early) here now. It’s been so much fun Mudpuppies, what a great evening!!!
Kind of makes Joe Biden’s little gaffes seem dainty.
Bet they won’t be bringing them up for a few days — wait?!!
MSNBC is playing the prank later on in the hour. It’s 8:13 now
I cannot believe how stupid this woman is… a heart beat away? This link is EVERYWHERE… good luck covering this up M/P campaign.

ROTFLMAO!!!!
Did anyone catch, I saw this twice on MSNBC Grifter spince’s earlier rally wasn’t a offical McCain rally, in fact there were signs “Palin country” no McCain/Palin signs, except on some T-shirts on people! ?
“Palin Country?”
WTF????
For those that are wondering, they could have routed the phone call through France.
This just keeps getting funnier, a new article about Palin and foreign policy
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/11/1/172823/919/728/649145
What great fun!! Only 3 days left!!
Melissa (16:16:15) : I believe you, what I don’t believe is she thinks a head of state is going to call a vp candidate to “chat” on a Saturday afternoon. She’s getting a little heady from what she assumes her exalted position affords her in terms of international contacts.
AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHaaaaaaa!!! I just READ the transcript!!! Priceless!!! OMG.
@UKLady-
Thanks (snicker) for the (heehee) link; this line is my favorite:
“A bag of hammers would have more foreign policy knowledge and experience than Sarah Palin”
LOL!!
Watching MSNBC, Ben Porrit, McCain spokesman is on , and I can’t help but think, he doesn’t believe a single thing he’s saying. ‘We welcome a sitting Vice President’s endorsement’, ‘I haven’t listened to the whole interview, but Sarah Palin understands the 1st amendment’. I’m feeling so sorry for these folks. I really hope they’re getting paid the big bucks, cause they sure deserve them. (you betcha, wink)
I guess narcissism has it penalties. She could accidently hit the red button, start a war & not even know she had done it.
holy crap what a complete idiot! but then i guess we already knew that
lol too funny
Did anyone notice that she called President Sarkozy “Nicholas”
Doesn’t she understand Protocol? They have never been formally introduced yet she calls him Nicholas. Why on earth would her staff think it was an authentic call?
She was a giddy as a school girl getting a call from Brad Pitt.
So completely wrong in so many ways.
The spin is to put Sarah into that hallowed hall of fellow pranksters?
I’ll bet none of them giggled.
As for sending Palin to us, Canada takes refugees for many reasons but stupidity isn’t one of them. Furthermore, her pipeline deal with Trans-Canada pipeline is not going anywhere because the Canadian environmentalists have stopped it dead in its tracks.
LMAO OMG what the heck. Ut oh Joe Biden is about to tell his Reaction to the prank call on MSNBC. I hope he does not say anything that will get him in trouble.
Biden is going to respond about the call on MSNBC and they are running the whole thing. Pssssst McCain, this is making the rounds !!!!!
announcement of a major endorsement…. for John McCain… by Dick Cheney
How did Mr Cheney know it was my birthday ????
Oh Mr Cheney sir you shouldn’t have ,, really .. I mean this is the second best gift ever…
Sarah ,, oh sweet wonderful Sarah ,, the gift you gave by taking that call can not be topped ..
OMG I am so happy ,, should I change my sosad to soglad ?
Joe Biden’s reaction to the call is coming up on MSNBC ….. poor Joe, having to keep a straight face!
@nancy-
My guess is CroutonBarbie doesn’t recognize any accents from outside Wasilla.
They took the video down. We need another source. I wonder if it was too much traffic or a McCain campaign member who made it go bye bye?
i always do that.. hahahahah
I can’t listen to it.. I just can’t… she’s so fake!
OMG…MSNBC is playing it right now…the whole tape.
MSNBC is playing the whole prank call right now!
I’m hoping Biden will point out that the caller was speaking _english_ and not using an interpreter should have tipped off Palin immediately.
I finally read the transcript and I am listening to the call on MSNBC right now. She is so stupid and I bet Betsy is without a job right now. She didn’t even stop to correct him when talking about killing all those innocent animals. God help us to not get stuck with this ass.
what did biden say? i don’t have a tv where i am, ii can’t believe msnbc is playing the prank call! lol!
Oh on top of all this…Cheny endorse’s McCain/Palin…..LOL!
Can’t wait to see what KO thinks of all this
Oh Noes!!!
Her iceskate lace broke in the middle of a spin!!!
Can’t she have a do-over, please???
Masked Avengers, guardez your knees!
From day one the McPain Campaign has seemed (une espece de con…)
an absurd and cynical farce played on the American people.
There is a divine perfection beaming out from this event.

they did not know about it when i called around 3:00..
we need credit..!
Hey guys, don’t forget you can phonebank from the comfort of your own home:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/phonebankmap
May I suggest that tomorrow we all follow this routine:
1) Make a call.
2) Read latest posts on Mudflats.
3) Make a call.
4) Refresh Mudflats and read.
5) Repeat from 1.
Let’s GOTV so Miss Wasilla never gets the chance to parlez francais with the REAL Sarkozy!
I’m laughing too hard to say anything……LOL
Biden’s comment on MSNBC (via the commentator) was that he bet the same people who didn’t vet the VP choice didn’t vet this call.
ouch.
Anyone know if this is what Biden said?
nancy-INDIANA: a.k.a. buck shot palin (16:34:18) : Biden (not live) said that the same people who didn’t vet Palin don’t vet her calls. Or words to that effect. I think the Obama campaign will let it go viral all by it’s little ol’ self, aslo.
Bea (16:37:35) :

Miss Wasilla can’t parlez english. Any foreign parlez is WAY out of her reach!
I hope that Joe Biden says “Is that a real question?” Really, he should not have to make any statement about that!
I really hope that they play it with the bit at the end about a vote for Obama and viagra for McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me tell me tell me, did they play that bit too??????????
UK Lady turning turtle…
I think SP said Iran because JM and the operatives from Bush/Cheeney are setting up strategies for Iran. These people are reaping all the benefits of war and oil, why should they stop now. How sickening!
Palin should’ve blinked– she’s out of her league.
OMFG. Karma sh*tstorm, indeed! As David Letterman once said about McOld, “something smells funny” – same goes for Bible Barbie now, and we’re not talking about Trig’s dirty diapers. Hilarious that she didn’t know the name of Canada’s PM, what a complete and utter moron. Although many Canucks would like to forget “Bush’s bum-boy’s” name too, in her defense.
Melissa (15:11:17) :
FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters
I loved that she asked for the station call letters even though they gave them out to her!
__________________________________________________________________
I know!! She doesn’t even listen. I loved how she played right into their hands from start to finish, right down to asking them for a station I.D. at the end of the piece. Unreal! I’m going to send those DJs a fan letter.

I really think strongly that with this opportunity — the radio prank — that the story about her behavior on the local radio shock jock show needs to get more air time. It was horrible, offensive, unprofessional, etc etc., and hopefully would make plenty of cancer-survivors who are riding the fence think that she’s not worthy of their vote!!!!!!!!!!!

I’d prefer to call divine retribution.
And this all falls back on McCain– what a maverick picking her.
Let’s not leave out words, Susie in Jersey.
I’d prefer to call it divine “retribution.”
more fodder for SNL— those writers are seriously loving this kick back and just use the real transcripts approach. but for poor tina fey the 4th can’t come soon enough!
OMG ROTFL! My 16 year old and I just were laughing so hard!
Palin is so clueless-I mean she sounds like a gushing idiot. No idea how to speak to a head of state, even if he was a fake.
Je suis tres fier de mes compatriotes!

You think she would of got the hunting in a helicopter part?
Dodo spice!
Bible spice,
Grifter spice,
now
Dodo Spice!
What happen to caller ID. Dont they have Caller ID to know where a call is coming from. Canada and France have different codes. LOL OH god I cant breath. LOL
She took that call thinking tomorrow’s headline would read “French President Speaks Personally With Palin”.
Palin proved herself to be a non-listening, vacuous, master of the monosyllable giggle we all knew her to be. She was probably winking at the phone.
Oh did I relish the WHOLE interview on MSNBC.
AKM…please do a compilation of all the ism’s on your website. You have some of the funniest, most clever folks in the world convening in this one little blog.
(not little really)
Celebrate! This is our time! Change is coming….Yes we can.
Listened to it again on MSNBC and made Hubby listen! We both are just astonished. There were so many red flags and she just falls for this hook line and sinker!
My husband just shivered and said imagine if she gets the 3:00 am call!
I can’t imagine it, It just scares the poop out of me!
Do you think they told her the Prime Minister of Canada was on a need to know basis and she just did not need to know?
Mind boggling!
Best part was the end when they tell her that it is a prank and you can here her drop the phone and chew out her asst. She can’t even make sure the damn phone is off first! OMG
Gosh, I wonder if they really would have enough time to use it tonight on SNL. My guess would be no.
marti (15:54:08) :
I think a lot of us had the same reaction you did. I know I kept thinking how much the voice really sounded like Palin’s and thought that whoever put this together did a really good job. I kept thinking…Wow, this is a really well done fake voice-over or some professional Palin impostor. Then the more you listen, the horror of reality sets in, and you are horrified because it is real…it really is her…and she really is “stupider” than you could possibly imagine. Admitting an unpleasant truth is always difficult.
I just wish she had thought to question some of their comments early in the conversation like Biden did the other day. You know…maybe ask, “Is this a joke?…I mean, are you joking?”
Nebraska Native AKA Sista Froth Hussein (16:21:20) :
Melissa (16:16:15) : I believe you, what I don’t believe is she thinks a head of state is going to call a vp candidate to “chat” on a Saturday afternoon. She’s getting a little heady from what she assumes her exalted position affords her in terms of international contacts.
—————————————
This is precisely the point. No serious person in politics as a Vice Presidential Candidate would EVER take a call from another Head of State without clearing it through the Presidential Candidate WELL IN ADVANCE. EVER. If taking a personal call was approved there would be a review of what to say on U.S. policy issues and how to spin it if any gray areas came up. If any person here on Mudflats was a V.P. Candidate I am sure they would want a briefing on the Head of State they were talking with well in advance. I know I would. Is she crazy?
So Bill Kristol and Dick Morris should now be a laughingstock for launching her career in national politics. They should be completely discredited in any national news media appearances. This should be brought up in every TB appearance for the next ten years. These men should be ridiculed mercilessly for what they did to their country.
In all seriousness, if I was Todd Palin I would be absolutely furious. The Republican Party has made a complete laughing stock of my wife. I’d have her communications person’s head on a platter. I’d even be going to see McGramps past the Secret Service packing heat to have a very serious conversation. I’d be going home with her tomorrow night saying f**k the Election. To hell with everyone. “Nail’in Palin” said in public would be the final straw. I am serious. I would call it all off tomorrow as her husband.
If you want to watch, MSMBC is doing an election special at 10 PM ET; they are distilling two years of campaigning into one hour. They’re showing a clip, starting with Palin’s interviews (LOL).
I hope a lot of this is still running on Monday, when more people will be watching-
Puck Mule Hussein (15:57:11) :

They should really make a big deal about JM judgement and how his campaign is run. This is outrageous. It may be funny now because it’s the repugs but it is a sad state of events because it shames our country. Country first my a$$. These people are the bottom of the barrel! Nobody bothered to check out the lady with the backward B either. There ought to be a law that campaigns be run in a better way.

As much as I dislike Palin, I really think the responsibility of this call goes to whoever is responsible for filtering her calls, and who handed her the phone. She muttled through ok, trying her best to avoid some of the obvious baits…
This is an excellent example of the McCain camp train wreck. Do any of them know what they are doing?
How embarassing –
if she wasn’t such an ass
I’d feel bad for her.
http://www.thehaikudiaries.wordpress.com
OMG…. can you imagine the laugh that Obama and his peeps got out of this! LOL they probably shot milk out their noses!!! I almost did!
Sarah was her in Lakeland. fl today and all of the signs behind her while she made her speach only had her name and not John McCain. I have never heard of something like that. I thought that was a bit interesting.
My blue candle is lit. I’ve finally stopped spasm-ing with laughter over the totally absurd Palin acting like a schoolgirl before the President of France.
Everyone — do what you can to work hard the next 58 hours. Call. Walk. Write. Donate. And above all, keep hope alive. If we can’t do it this time, we are … lost.
Good will and good wishes to all.

Nebraska Native AKA Sista Froth Hussein (16:40:40) Biden said that the same people who didn’t vet Palin don’t vet her calls.
Great response by Joe…a nice, pointed, little dig.
@Blue Lonestar-
I’m saying a prayer, too- but I might get struck by lightning anyway, if God doesn’t have a sense of humor (probably does, though).
What a gift.
There is a God.
She’s voted Obama!
I lit my old blue candle earlier– the one from my grandparents– that I wrote about in a previous thread— it flamed up to twice the height of the candle! I thought it was a “sign”– and now this Palin embarrassment! Hmm, maybe I should relight the firetorch candle– maybe the blue in the candle has vibes from my forward thinking grandparents rooting for Obama and Biden…..

Well, I guess I don’t have to wonder if I’ll be able to come back here after the election and feel a part of Alaskan politics. I AM a part of Alaskan politics and feel like I know 100 percent more about your state, thanks to you AKM, than I do about California, my state.
The Sarah Palin story will continue, and I can’t wait to hear the upcoming chapters about her return to her people and homeland. . .
Remember when Palin said Nov. 4th was in “God’s hands”………….
Well, thankfully it is and He has picked OBAMA…
What a “me first” fool she is. A call from Sarkosky……….really…….
The dumb factor alive and well in Ms. Palin!
Whoops…Sarkozy
a little duh factor here I guess.

Welcome back Carol! Ummm, are you aware that there is a Chicago Mudstock tomorrow?
Bible Spice strikes again.
Well she made the news MSNBC!!! Guess that’s the way it goes when you are the Maverick…..heheheeee
After Obama wins I’m going to sit and have a good laugh at the Mccain/Palin comedy hour. If I didn’t live through these 2 months with Palin and Co. and someone told me this was going on in their campaign I’d have thought they where drunk. This is unbelievable. Palin’s like Goldie Hawn on Laugh- In.

If you Got a call like this, you would imediately say, “who is this…really”? No-ones fault but hers, she a fricken Dodo, DODO SPICE

Yes! Seems like everything McCain touches turns to dust, and Obama just breathes, centers himself, and listens, then smiling, moves onward and upward, healing along the way, pulling us forward in his wake.
@ portland oregon native (15:23:46) :
It is the real deal. The Palin spokes people admitted to it all and then said, “C’est la vie.”
You cannot make this stuff up! Everyday I am amazed, and a bit disturbed that 25% of the population still think she’s great.
Base is the right word.
==================================================
Yep, told all you earlier that “base” is the word…
Obermann is doing a full show tonight on the run to the White House!!! Don’t know if I can enjoy this right now to much to do. I am going to TIVO it for Wednesday then I am going to watch it with a cold one…..
AKM
every one listens to you………I hope you little bells are going off
everyone needs to know that it was not mcsame that picked SWWNBN for the ticket……it was Focus on the Family…remember they had dinner at her house last summer and they wanted a pro BIRTH person on the ticket…..that is why they are so pleased with her….and if they have their way she will be BACK or some one just like her that we just don’t know about yet
can you maybe do a tiny,tiny post about this…thank you..thank you..thankk you.
maybe this could be another scary bedtime story
Some are saying it must have been an inside job in order for them to get the phone number. Whateva! Gave us the laugh of the week.
I never cared much for Hillary before this. Now I have a new frame of mind.
Hey, we’ve got a few people in the chatroom if anyone wants to join. Pretty exciting Saturday night stuff!

caligrl Hussein wolves eat Palin :
I have to agree with you on that one, if she couldn’t tell it was a joke from the start then she either 1) just woke up, 2) just smoked something really good, or 3) she really is brain dead.
Come on now, the guy mentioned his wife being hot in bed, hunting with Cheney, “nailin’ Palin”, being able to see another country out his window, and having her take him aerial hunting. How many “clues” does BimboBush need?
HamletsMill aka Rot Pipeline Palin (16:54:38) :
I so agree with you, Todd is so mucho macho, he will be incandescent with fury, almost a much as McTool. There will be wind and fury everywhere!!!
Kristal and Morris will look even more ridiculous.
And Testern – yes it is smelly isn’t it.
Palin was here in Lakeland Fl. today and she and all of the signs behinds here as she spoke only had her name on them and a little bit of the country first signs but None had John McCain name on them. I thought that was interesting. I have never heard of a campaign handing out signs with only the VP.
Not only was she stupid thinking it was the French PM but the ding-a-ling was flirting with him too. Seems like she’s like that Trace Adkin’s song.
She has a solid base the same 24 percent that still back Bush. The Repugs are meeting on November 7th to decide which direction to take the party. They have a BIG split right now between the Wingnuts and Neocons. They are going to have to re-invent the party or the party will be going away.
More proof that Palin is an idiot who says only what the talking points tell her to say.
She’s the lone ranger without Tonto, Silver, the mask or boots.
Can anybody help me out? tonights story has wiped my memory and I can’t remember what it was SP did yesterday or the day before that was making me laugh, anybody?

This is what tipped me off to pay attention.
MSNBC is talkin about Palin- “what has she done for the ticket” after the break now at 8:29 chicago time. Got me to thinking of all the air time, internet coverage, newspaper coverage, tv comic time (snl, Letterman, Leno etc), talk radio, she has taken away from the republican ticket, and McCain in general. wow.
If you’ve already seen this forgive me.
On therawstory it has a youtube link also but I don’t know how to post that.
GROSSE POINTE FARMS, MICH. — A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.
Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.
TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel’s house warned: “No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters.” Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama “scary.” When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: “Oh well. Everybody has a choice.” Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.

I agree. I think the religious right (James Dobson, Franklin Graham, the Arlington Group, just to name a few) are powerful lobbyists who have their own agenda. They are the Pharisees, the Spanish Inquisitors, the Hitlers of this day and age. And we have to defang and destroy their power. They can believe whatever they wish, but they can not be allowed to punish, impugn or take away my rights (or anyone else’s). They are dangerous to all of us who believe in freedom of religion.

In French he says “du rouge à lèvre sur une cochonne”, literally ‘lipstick on a sow’, but ‘cochonne’ also means a woman who likes sex and is hot in bed.
Earlier, when he first talks about going hunting, he says “on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi, “we could also kill some baby seals”.

@Goalie-
I recognize several membership names, besides James Dobson (who is not a trained minister, by the way): Tent Lott and Tom DeLay, disgraced Repugs; Oliver North, of Iran-Contragate fame; the uber-conservative Coors family, and Phyllis Schlafly.
I hope and pray that the Republican party will get rid off this evil group, or that it will split, or something…
What a massive ego she must have! And what is wrong with her people?
If such a meeting were really being set up, your staff is going to want to know what the agenda is so that you’re properly briefed.
In four days nobody bothered to find out that he doesn’t speak English? They didn’t even google him???

I’d like to read that book, too, but I think Cindy McCain would pay off the ransom (without the E).
There will likely be a few post-mortem books on this mess.

Goalie Sanka Palin in NM (17:47:13) :
I believe in the Golden Rule. I was raised a Christian. I believe that I am supposed to serve my neighbors. I cannot minister to my neighbor if I exclude them because of my judgment of them. To me, that is the danger of this ‘right wing’ Christianity. It’s not about being ‘like Christ’. It’s about the same old $hit – power and greed. James Dobson, et. al, doesn’t give one good God damn about my relationship with God, nor the salvation of my soul.
KO is on… special 2 hour Countdown of the campaign
2 things: do you think we will hear if staff is fired over this incident? and how do you think this is being ’spun’ by their supporters? My god she is just so dense.

No wonder she believes in the end days and witchcraft and also and also !

It is the Focus on the Family group that McCain keeps calling his inside straight.
We can just hope that enough other Christian groups are wise to this, and vote for Obama.

I have to agree with you on that one, if she couldn’t tell it was a joke from the start then she either 1) just woke up, 2) just smoked something really good, or 3) she really is brain dead.
Come on now, the guy mentioned his wife being hot in bed, hunting with Cheney, “nailin’ Palin”, being able to see another country out his window, and having her take him aerial hunting. How many “clues” does BimboBush need?

LMAO!!! I’m multi-tasking… reading Mudflats, watching KO online, and I have the TV on, but with the volume off and the closed caption on…
Get this! On the TV, they showed McLame and his Stepford wife… they listed her as “Zippedy McCain”….. LOL… I can’t believe it!!! The CC feature often misses words, but Zippedy? LOL
Awww…Proud to be Canadian!! And here I thought we Canadians couldn’t do much to influence the US elections! C’est bon! C’est tres bon!!!
JT, that was my reaction as well. There’s no excuse for Palin’s ownership of this fiasco. Well, of course, her staff should have done a better job of fielding this call and you would think that this call would have been coordinated with McCain or someone high up in the chain of command. But I think she actually was so flattered by the thought of it that she just couldn’t get over herself. She even seemed a little put out that President Sarkozy was not on the phone first when she picked up. What got me was just how flirtatious Palin sounded…quite the little couquet she is…you know, maybe they could mix business with pleasure, so to speak…what in the world! But, let’s not blame Betsy or whoever she is. (At first I thought she said her name was Bitzy. Didn’t she have a cutesy little voice, too? I was thinking that Bitzy sounds like something you would name a moose and that maybe she should make up a name that sounds a little more professional.)
Anyway, whatever credibility Palin may have had before this as a formidable candidate for any national office, she sadly has lost as far as I’m concerned. And anyone who continues to profess that she is qualified to serve as VP or, God help us, President, should be discounted as a rational person.
And, yes, I do feel a little bad about making fun of the misfortune of another. When the funny part wears off, this incident will be more of an embarrassment than anything else.
RE: HOW PALIN WAS PICKED BY MCCAIN – http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/10/27/081027fa_fact_mayer
The Jane Mayer piece above really lays it all at the feet of Kristol, Barnes, and the other right wing nuts who cruised through Alaska in summer 2007…
Yes, Dobson had something to do with it, true. But it seems Kristol hadn’t heard much about her until last year…and he started lobbying for her to be VP. The article traces how he lobbied for her (as did Barnes).

Was it just yesterday that SP said that people criticizing her violated her rights to free speech? Maybe it was a funny dream.
oops I mean was not talking about Sarah.
SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHO THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA IS.

I will answer this one. Yes, Johnny Halladay was a French superstar even into the 70’s….I grew up in a small town in the midwest (USA) and we used to study his songs in French class.

I don’t feel bad at all…just this morning at one her rallies (her private “Palin Country” rally or the McCain/Palin rally) she was lying about Barack, taxing people at $42K!!!!
She went on the radio and made fun of a cancer survior and called her “fat”
NOOOOO! She get’s whatever is coming and I hope its as thick as….
MUDFLATS!!!!
Did anyone else catch the beginning when she thought Sarkozy was on? She said “Hello” then realized it wasn’t “him”, ignored the person and giggly said “I always do that”. She sounded like a 15 year old !
More on Johnny Hallyday (sorry, I’ve misspelled his name all day), from Wikipedia:
“He has had a 48-year career in music and is one of France’s biggest stars. He has completed 400 tours, had 18 platinum albums, performed in front of 15 million people, and sold 100 million records. Today Hallyday is still seen as a top stage performer, giving first class shows in crowded stadiums. Hallyday announced his retirement from performing on 3 December 2007 at the age of 64[2], after his last tour, scheduled in 2009-2010.”
Also, “Johnny Hallyday” is not his real name.
She’s a valley girl ! Are there valley girls in Alaska?!

Regi, yes. And Wasilla is in the Mat-Su Valley.
Aussie – she may feel a bit insulted but the French people will let out a big sigh of relief when Sarah Palin is shipped back to Alaska. Besides, Mrs. Sarkozy is so much more of a babe than Sarah Palin ever will be, plus… plus, Mrs. Sarkozy probably pays for her own clothes.
Maybe we could do a top 10 list of how Mrs. Sarkozy would make a better VP than Sarah Palin… eh?
