Palin Prank Call (VIDEO): Sarah Palin Pranked By Comedian Pretending To Be Sarkozy
Posted on November 1, 2008
Sarah Palin received a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian who pretended he was as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and telling her she would make a good president someday. You can take a listen to the Palin prank call below.
When the “fake” Sarkozy asked her about being the president one day, Palin laughed and said, “Maybe in eight years.”
Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she had received the prank call.
“Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy and other celebrities, in being targeted by these pranksters. C’est la vie,” she said.
The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known as the Masked Avengers, the two are well known for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.
Audette, posing as Sarkozy, speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops ample hints that the conversation is a joke. But Palin didn’t seem to pick up on the hints.

He tells Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.
“I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun,” the fake Sarkozy says.
He proposes they go hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has never done.
“Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we’re getting work done,” Palin counters. “We can kill two birds with one stone that way.”
The comedian jokes that they shouldn’t bring Cheney along on the hunt, referring to the 2006 incident in which the vice-president shot and injured a friend while hunting quail.
“I’ll be a careful shot,” responds Palin.
Playing off the governor’s much-mocked comment in an early television interview that she had insights into foreign policy because “you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska,” the caller tells her: “You know we have a lot in common also, because … from my house I can see Belgium.”
She replies: “Well, see, we’re right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.”
Palin mentioned Sarkozy’s wife, Carla Bruni, a model-turned-songwriter.
“You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife,” Palin says. “Oh my goodness, you’ve added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.”
The Sarkozy impersonator tells Palin his wife is “so hot in bed” and then informs her that Bruni has written a song for her about Joe the Plumber entitled “De rouge a levre sur un cochon” — which translates as “Lipstick on a Pig.”
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama derided his Republican challenger John McCain’s call for change in Washington as “lipstick on a pig,” days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention. The McCain-Palin campaign then released an ad implying Obama was calling Palin a pig with that remark.
The caller asks Palin if Joe the Plumber is her husband and adds: “We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It’s called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.”
He also tells the Alaska governor that he loved the “documentary” made about her and referred to a pornographic film with a Palin look-alike made by Hustler founder Larry Flynt.
She answers tentatively, “Ohh, good, thank you, yes.”
The callers then reveal the prank and identify themselves and their radio station.
“Ohhh, have we been pranked?” Palin asks. “And what radio station is this?”

It’s amazing the the VP candidate for the republicans doesn’t know the name of the Prime Minister of the country that is the US’s biggest trading partner, Canada?
There’s only 2 countries that border the US and she doesn’t know the name of the Prime Minister of one of them?
Alaska is next door to Canada, so how hard can it be to not know the name of the Canadian Prime Minister? After all, she can probably see Canada from her front door too:)
Mrs energy expert doesn’t even know the name of the prime minister of the country that is the biggest supplier of energy to the US?
Let alone her not knowing the name of the Premier of Quebec, the 2nd largest Canadian province. Or that there is no prime minister of quebec, it would be like a Canadian thinking there is a president of the state of Florida.
All politicians get pranked, no big shame in that. The big shame is that she’s so clueless about the country next door to her. And she’s want’s to be one heart attack away from the presidency.
What an embarrassment. The US has already had one joke as president, does it really need another as VP?

I don’t think this is embarrassing. I think it is funny in a ho hum kind of way. By the way, I don’t have any idea how the conversation sounded on the Palin earpiece–it no doubt, was difficult to hear some of that stupid Faux French. I would also like to know who it was that got a hold of the phone number to the nearby staff of Palin?? Smacks of a lot of preparation for such a poor stunt. I was not laughing–and I have a great sense of humor to laugh at any candidate’s blunders.
I guess gullibility (as displayed by the followers of Obama with his socialist and social engineering proposals) is not limited to the Democrats.

I owe you guys one. I am incredible indebted to this duo for pulling a prank on her. Not that it is difficult. My only disappointment is they didn’t stretch the call a bit longer asking some confidential questions. It would have put her under “security risk” category. I pray Republicans lose not just because of her but also because of John Mccain who is another joker. Republicans are afraid of intellectuals. They like people like them. Dumb and stupid. Hopefully the Republican mob and their idelogies gets buried after this election. They should have done it couple of days back. Talk show hosts would have had a field day with her.

What an idiot !! Didn’t she realise that the call was not real when a president called her wife ” hot in bed” ?! or when a president said that he liked killing animals !? I mean, I understand liking hunting but saying that u like to kill animals, that’s just… bleh. I mean how dumb can a VP get ?!AND she’s not even blonde ffs ! =D and btw, the language was not formal at all, and the faux french president sed: I got selected in France becuz I’m real, wtf is up with that !? AND a president mocked Palin by saying that he cud see Belgium from his house; still, the Miss alaska doesn’T have a clue as to whom she’s speaking to. ow and when a president sang to a governor, she still sat thinking it was Sarkozy. + when “Nicholas” sed that the Hustler’s Nailin’ Paylin was a documentary on her life, she didn’t have the faintest idea as to what was going on. VOTE TINA FEY FOR VP !!! =D I beg of you Americans, I agree with Pete, America doesn’T need another “decider”. Don’T vote for a pro war, pro-drilling, pro-abstinence,con-sex education,gay-intolerant mother of 5 whose daughter is pregnant, but married(how funny is taht !?)
who opposed endangered species act and who doesn’T know what the bush doctrine nor what forign policy is… the list goes on and on… Please America, I beg of you ( altho I don’T think alot of pple will read this comment) make the smart decision.
Let’s get mavericky ! *wink
