Prank Call Reveals Sarah Palin’s Incompetence

We’re three days away from the election, so what does Alaska Governor Sarah Palin do? She takes a prank phone call from two popular Montreal radio personalities and makes some massive mistakes during this call that make the Katie Curic interview look like a walk in the park.

Here in point form is a brief idea of how brutal this prank call was:

– The guy who claimed to he holding the line for the President of France introduces himself as “Frank L’Ouvrier” or, “Frank the Worker”, in reference to Joe the Plumbler

– Johnny Halliday, his “American advisor”, is actually a very popular French singer

– The fake French President praised the documentary about her titled “Nailin’ Paylin’ which is the title of that porno that is being made by Hustler. I laughted so hard when I heard that part I cried and almost peed myself.

– Palin claims to have worked with Canada, but she doesn’t even know the name of our Prime Minister.

– The fake President asked Palin if she wanted to go hunting with him after the election and shoot some animals from a helicopter and she said it was okay with her. I doubt that part is going to go over well with all those animal right activists who have been airing those harsh commercials.

– When he says “Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des phoques aussi”, it means: “We could hunt baby seals, also” (put into the context of what is said after)

This is worse than the Katie Couric interview, and the fact that she couldn’t recognize the fake names or the name of the fact that Quebec doesn’t have a Prime Minister leads one to believe that she likely isn’t read to become the Vice President of the United States.

She just made Dan Quale look like a super genuis. Refer to the transcript and video below if you require more evidence…

Palin-Pranking Masked Avengers Merely Update The Couric Interviews

Sarah Palin got punked by the Canadian comedy duo known as the Les Justiciers Masques (the Masked Avengers) and, given the way the McCain campaign has controlled access to Palin, the prank feels like just plain good journalism — almost as good as the real thing delivered by Katie Couric last month. The prank audio is entertaining, informative and damning, at least if you think the nation’s leaders should be a little more sophisticated than, say, an excitable (and gullible) 10-year-old.

Utterly clueless — the Masked Avengers’ comically bad accents and pop culture and pornography references going straight over her head — Palin blathers for what seems like hours, giving giggly answers and offering the slimmest possible analysis of her candidacy and the significance of campaign figure Joe the Plumber. At one point, she was led even to agree that FOX News broadcasts unfair critiques of her and is just another part of the the media bias in this country against muddle-headed winking Christian hockey moms.

The Avengers clearly could have gone on for hours with her, talking about the French first couple’s sex life and the view of various countries from the Elysee Palace. Alas, they took pity on candidate Palin after even their compliments on Hustler’s “Nailin’ Palin,” which they called the “documentary” of her life, elicited nothing more than giggling appreciation.

According to Ben Smith of Politico, the McCain campaign has confirmed that it was indeed Palin on the call. For real:

Gov. Palin received a phone call on Saturday from a French Canadian talk show host claiming to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy,” emailed spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt. “Gov. Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy, and other celebrities in being targeted by these pranksters. C’est la vie.

A transcription of the call follows (minus the parts that I had trouble understanding due to the heavy fake accent):

SP Assist = Sarah Palin’s Assistant
MA = Masked Avengers
SP = Sarah Palin
FNS = Fake Nicolas Sarkozy

[phone rings]

SP Assist: This is Betsy.

MA: Hello, Betsy. 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 (the most famous French singer, looks like and sings like Elvis), 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. Haha

FNS: 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 ass 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 and Stef Carse is a Quebecois country singer who covered Billy Ray Cyrus’ Achy Breaky Heart in French in the 90s].

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 for a sow literally (but not properly) but it actually means an uninhibited girl] 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 like

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 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, “Nailin Palin.” [Name of the porno being produced by Hustler]

SP: 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.
