SP Assist: This is Lexi.
MA: Hello, Lexi. This is Frank l’ouvrier (Frank the worker], I’m with President Sarkozy, on the line for Governor Palin.SP Assist: One second please, can you hold on one second please?
MA: No problem.SP Assist: Hi, I’m going to hand the phone over to her.
MA: Okay thank you very much I’m going to put the president on the line.
SP Assist: Ok he’s coming to the line.SP: This is Sarah.
MA: Okay, Governor Palin?SP: Hellloooo…(long drawn out, like Well, hellooooo)
MA: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.
SP [To someone in the room]: Oh, it’s not him yet, I always do that. I’ll just have people hand it to me right when it’s them.FNS: Yes, hello, Governor Palin? Yes, hello, Mrs. Governor?
SP: Hello this is Sarah., how are you?FNS: Fine, and you, this is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?
SP: Oh…so good, it’s so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.FNS: Oh, it’s a pleasure.
SP: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you and thank you for spending a few minutes to talk to me.FNS: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American Advisor Johnny Hallyday, you know?
SP: Yes! Good!FNS: Excellent! Are you confident?
SP: Very confident and we’re thankful that the polls are showing that the race is tightening and–FNS: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now my dear?
SP: Ah, I feel so good. I feel like we’re in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon, you get your second wind and you plow to the finish—FNS: You see, I got elected in France because I’m real and you seem to be someone who’s real as well.
SP: Yes, yeah, Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity.FNS: You know, I see you as a president, one day, you too.
SP: [Muahaaa…weird laugh], maybe in 8 years. HahaFNS: Well, ah, I hope for you. You know we have a lot in common because personally one of my favorite activities is to hunt too.
SP: [Giggle]o h very good, we should go hunting together.FNS: Exactly! We could go try hunting by helicopter, like you did, I never did that.
SP: [Giggle]FNS: Like we say in France, “on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi” [Translation: We could also kill some baby seals.]
SP: [Giggle] Well I think we could have a lot of fun together as we’re getting work done, we can kill two birds with one stone that way.FNS: I just love killing those animals. Mm, mm. Take away a life, that is so fun!
SP: [Hahahaha]FNS: I’d really love to go as long as we don’t bring your Vice president Cheney, hahaha.
SP: No, I’ll be a careful shot, yes.FNS: You know we have a lot in common also except that from my house I can see Belgium. That’s kind of less interesting than you.
SP: Well, see, we’re right next door to other countries that we all need to be working with, yes.FNS: Some people said in the last days, and I thought that was mean, that you weren’t experienced enough in foreign relations, and you know, that’s completely false, that’s the thing I said to my great friend, the Prime Minister of Canada, Stef Carse [Stephen Harper is the PM].
SP: Well, he’s doing fine, too, and yeah when you come into a position underestimated, it gives you the opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder-FNS: I, I was wondering because you are also next to him, one of my good friends, also, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois [a famous Quebec radio host], have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?
SP: Uh, haven’t seen him at one of the rallies, but it’s been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as governor; we have a great cooperative effort there as we work on all of our resource development projects. You know I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife, oh my goodness, you’ve added a lot of energy to your country, even, with that beautiful family of yours.FNS: Thank you very much. You know my wife, Carla, would love to meet you. You know even though she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today. [Hahahaha]
SP: [Hahahha] Well give her a big hug from me.FNS: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she’s so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
SP: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that.FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called Du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne [Translate: Lipstick on a smutty girl (note: I’ve seen other sites that say this translates to lipstick on a sow)] or if you prefer in English Joe the Plumber, [sings] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber…”
SP: Maybe she understands  some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism likeFNS: 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 into 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: Â Oh, good, thank you. Yes.FNS: That was really edgy.
SP: [Laughs] Well good.FNS: I really love you. And I must say something, so, Governor, you’ve been pranked.
By the Master Avengers. We’re two comedians from Montreal
SP: Oohhh have we been pranked? And what radio station is this? [tries to force herself to sound nice but you can tell she’s pissed]FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters
[SP leaves phone, continuous griping in background, sounds like, “For chrissakes…that was ??? Just a radio station prank…chrissakes…”]MA: Hello? If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain.
[Man’s voice in background: hang up, hang up.]
SP Assist: Hi, I’m sorry, I have to let you go. Um, thank you.
Speaking of idiots…
Wow. This is kind of funny but at the same time it makes me kind of angry. Even the Canadians are making fun of us dumb ol’ Americans. Come on people.
Ouch…
too fucking funny. she honestly thought it was sarkozy
LMAO OMG they so need to have “Marg” From This Hour has 22 Minutes to interview her…
I love Canadian humour.
That brought a smile on my face. :)
Let’s hope the smile’s still in place when we know the outcome of the election. However hillarious McCain-Palin are, they’d be a lot less funny in the white house..
Wow! I would expect her to know a little bit about Canada since she is the govenor of a border state. Most importantly that Quebec doesn’t have a prime minister.. how is that even possible, that would make it independent of Canada, that’s like saying Alaska has its own president.
She should at least know Stephen Harper is the PM.
Also cochonne is pig! Lipstick on a pig is the correct translation.
How has she not heard about the Nailin Palin video?
I think that every democracy gets the leader they deserve and if she becomes the VP or the President later on, well that’s what the people have chosen and they can deal with the consequences.
That’s simply genius.
I’m amazed that the OTT accent didn’t tip her or her handlers off – did they really think that all French people sound like they’re in ‘Allo ‘Allo?
it is funny
DarkEmpress
I’m not sure very many Americans know anything about Canada.
Up here in Canada, we have this show called “talking with Americans” hosted by Rick Mercer, formally from “This Hour Has 22 Minutes”, and also hilarious….
Watch just one episode, and you’ll see that the average American does not who our PM is, or that we don’t live in igloos, and don’t hunt seals in Saskatchewan.
“from my house I can see Belgium”
lmao that was good…she was prob so pissed haha
that wasnt funny, that was a disgrace to the Americans.
How dare a couple of Canadians radio host pranks American Candidate running the campaign. How dare they impersonate the French President. How dare they ask personal questions.
Im glad Sarah Palin responded well. I know i wouldnt take any of that shiet.
@ versacee
In case you haven’t realized this yet…
The entire world is making fun of this Candidate.
Palin that is…she’s a joke…
shes dumb, AND a liar…
i mean, we already know shes dumb, but she just says, “Yeaaaah” to the guy talking about her life documentary or whatever….wouldnt you be like What documentary???
Dark Empress
The WHOLE WORLD will be affected by this election and the WHOLE WORLD will have to deal with the consequences.. Please vote wisely.
But this is very funny =]
I suggest the Russians give her a call…
all i know is, if it had been an american prank call it would have been a lot funnier. canadians, other than jim carrey, are just not that funny. especially those old leftovers from sctv.
@Dark Empress
Quebec does have a prime minister his name is Jean Charest, as a matter of fact every province have one.
@
grumpy girl.
Quebec has a Premier, Jean Charet. Provinces have premiers, and the country’s leader is the Prime minister.
Who is Stephen Harper…
@purple monkey
In French it’s the same. Sorry English is my second language.
@ Grumpygirl
That’s ok English is PurpleMonkey’s second language as well. Throwing monkey poop on here is her first.
@purpleMonkeybra
You are really Sarah Palin in disguise…. come on …. admit it!
Oh man. Palin is SO FREAKING DUMB!
After Bush, do we seriously need an even bigger laughingstock??
yeah freaking right, this is so not real!
brilliant
Americans, please don’t vote for this woman.
I don’t blame regular americans for not knowing anything about Canada, but this woman wants to work in the White House! She should atleast know the PMs name.
actually,it is real…sarah palin’s campaign people confirmed it, and said sarah was “mildly amused by being added to the list of sarkozy and other celebrities who have been pranked.” not only is it true but i guess ms. palin now sees herself as a celebrity, not a politician. god what a dumbass. i cannot wait for her to go back to alaska.
@imustsay… so real, its obviously her. if thats not proof enough, the radio station has pranked a bunch of big names over the past 10 years… from sarkozy himself to mick jagger to bill gates.
lol!
She is soooooo STUPID! and a big animal killer.
I can’t wait for her to go back to Alaska, but don’t kill any more animals.
> “Even the Canadians are making fun of us”
Yes, because Canada is such a laughing stock, what with our universal health care, better education system, lower pharmaceutical prices, lower crime rates, lower infant mortality, less racism, massive supply of natural resources. Ya we are the joke, not your country at all.
It is amazing what some people will believe if you brainwash them early enough.

Quebec does have a Prime Minister, in fact all provinces do. They are just more commonly referred to as Premiers.
It comes from the fact that in French “Premier” is translated as “premier ministre” the same as Prime Minister.
That was funnnnnnnny.
Shouldn’t her assistants have done a better job to make sure stuff like that didn’t get through to her? There has to be some way to have a better way of confirming who is actually calling….
If I was Canada, I would make fun of America too. America is so loud and talks so much shit, but Canada seems to be doing quite well these days.
All in all, a very good prank.
I’m a big fan of Canada myself…kinda wish I lived there sometimes. My pride in America has been down over the last 6 years or so. Canada seems to have its crap together. Plus they’re some funny people! I mean, Mike Meyers and Jim Carey?? C’mon!!
The questions that were asked by the two canadians were legitimate because they have the right to free speech.. and if that includes asking next VP of the united states ‘who is the prime minister of one of their best trading partners (canada)’ then it is simply sad.
i lived in american now i live in canada and i have come to notice that most canadians seemed to be much more informed about their southern neighbour than vice versa.
perhaps Palin has no time to memorize names of a bunch leaders that she will have to come into contact with if she is to be elected. im sure shes busy with more important things like memorizing speeches that she did not write which are saturated with twisted truths and pernicious lies.
aaaahahhahaha… I love how they brought up ‘Nailin’ Pallin’!
Lol.
That was hilarious.
> Quebec does have a Prime Minister, in fact all provinces do. They are just more commonly referred to as Premiers.
Wrong. There is only one Prime Minister and he is federal. At a provincial level the head of the party in power is known as the “Premier of (province name here). He calls his office the “The office of the Premier”.
Don’t know where you are getting your facts, lol. I grew up in Ottawa, did work experience at the House of Commons, and have relatives in government.
http://feltingforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=3074 – even people in her home town are getting into the fun of it all!
re; donkey punch
i was in canada awhile back. i overheard some locals say some pretty racist shit about all the chinese or japanese or whatever ‘ese’ is it you got running around there. just because you guys don’t have that large of a black population or have mexicans pouring across your borders like a bad case of the shits doesn’t mean canadians aren’t racist.
plus, i love to brag about my family being in government too, as my great aunt on my dads side works at the post office in memphis licking stamps. and, like you, i did work experience at the house of condoms as well. maybe you’re my long lost dad? i’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I never said Canadians aren’t racist. I said they are less racist than Americans. Exhibit A – you.
As for being your long lost dad. Don’t think so since I had my sex organs ripped out after taking one look at your mother.
@donkey punch
Canada is not what I am laughing at right now- you are. what makes you think that you are “less racist than Americans”?
What with your great education programs and whatnot I would think that you would have more sense than that. Sure there are some racists americans deep in appalachian america- but there really arent that many. Just because you see them on the news dosent mean that they are everywhere. Talk about brainwashing.
and yeah, I have lived in Canada- and even though i talk shit about going back if McCain wins- I prefer ‘Racist America’ over mounties any day. Or even Mexico. Lower drinking age!
I do like rice…
Sarah Palin is not dumb. It’s just a prank phone call. If Obama supporters were nearly as intelligent as they pretend to be they would be skeptical of Obama instead of worshiping him.
Obama supports have blind faith that puts Fundamentalist Christians to shame. Why trust a man who has broken one promise after another, starting in 2004 with this one:
“So look, I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois.”

He won’t give anyone a tax cut, no matter what he says now. Vote for him if you hate your children.
What a dumbass!
Somebody needs to pay these guys for exposing this airhead
If this doesn’t decide the race, i don’t know what else will
Fun in translation: The ” rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne” bit: cochonne can mean both smutty girl and sow. The Stef Carse as Prime minister: Stef Carse is a singer whose only hit was a french translation of Achy breaky heart. And the Johnny Hallyday as special american adviser: Johnny Hallyday is a french singer (he must be close to his seventies by now) who has always been known for his “american cliché” image.
Very funny. – Good thing they didn’t pretend this was a 3am call…
Oh, I haven’t laughed that much in quite a while.
Woohoo “We should go ‘unting from the ‘elicopter some day”
“That we should, yes”
lool
Just when you thought no one could be dumber then George Bush. YIKES!
I know that Canada is lead by the Prime Minister. That wasn’t me. The question is why the hell didn’t Obama know that there is no such thing as the president of Canada. Seems to be as dumb as Palin who doesn’t know who that person actually is. Oh and you can be sooooo proud of Canada being “less racist.” I mean it was only like yesterday that a Geneva-UN watchdog group cited the US and Canada for their mistreatment of natives and aboriginals. An it’s only been a decade since the UN watch dog group brought up the issues of racial injustices against Chinese aboriginal Canadians immigrants that earn less than people born in the country and blacks in….Canada oh Canada.
@ Grumpygirl Says: you nearly gave me a heart attack when I read that. Please tell me you are a francophone making a bad translation. No in french we say premier ministre, but it should be translated as PREMIER as in the leader of the province not as prime minister to be confused with the leader of the country. But I hear a lot of ppl make this bad translation when I lived in quebec. No one in english ever calls the leader of a province the prime minister, we say premier. So in Ontario I say that Dalton McGuinty is the premier. Translation should never be literal, you always have to translate the meaning of things. I am bilingual and I switch between french and english all day for work.
@Grumpygirl oh sorry. I just read everything and you are francophone.
@Laughing Stock.. you need to start using commas, because i thought you were describing chinese people as aboriginal canadian immigrants and that just didn’t make any sense.
@Purple Monkey Paws, Stephen Harper is the PM we voted in the first time because we hated Paul Martin, but we voted him in the second time because the country didn’t implode the first time…. I think that is the same reason you guys voted Bush in the second time, better the devil you know than the devil you don’t. But if you really care, it is because we have 4 parties, 3 are left wing and 1 is conservative. So, the vote got divided up on the left so much while the conservative vote was consolidated. It doesn’t really matter though, since the conservatives have a minority government, which means they can’t make any decisions without the other 3 parties agreeing to it.
re; donkey
does that make you a transexual? in that case, maybe you’re my long lost mommy (said with arms outstretched and waiting for a hug). the only sad part would be that i was hoping my mom was joni mitchell. darn.
@Donkey Punch
My respect for you went up a hell of a lot.
And what exactly is that supposed to mean Ellen?! “Even the Canadians are making fun of us”. This is why we, and the rest of the world make fun of you. I won’t claim that Canada is the best country in the world, but it’s sure as hell a lot better than the U.S. I know it’s tough for you Americans to picture us without thinking of dog sleds and igloos, but imagine a country just like the U.S. but with proper education, health care and an understanding of how the world works.
You guys are SO lucky Obama is about to win this election. Of course if the election were anywhere else Obama would have 95% support.
AC — why do you think people have blind faith in Obama? I am liberal, I am voting democrat, but I in no way think he is going to magically change our country. Your generalizations make you look like an idiot. I just think Obama is the better candidate. OH CRAZY ME!!!!
and OH MY GOD obama once said he wasn’t going to run for office!!! OMG A LIE-TELLER!!!! a politician that couldn’t predict the future!!! holy shit man!! you had better tell everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ELECTION IS ONE DAY AWAY!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
……….
it doesn’t help either party when we go after the other with big stupid comments. I may think you’re stupid, but I do not think all republicans are. just people like you who make idiotic comments. see? intelligence has nothing to do with one’s political affiliation…
GO Canda and Donkey Punch, sorry you are so offended by that statement. I only meant the Canadians, whom I always have admired and respected for their decency, have lowered themselves to also mocking our candidate for Vice President. Thanks for changing my opinion.
I’m totally an Obama support but this is kind of sad. Poor Palin, this is just so embarrassing. I would have been tricked too.
