This should be good.

 
bobbette [TotalFark] 2008-11-01 03:30:58 PM  
This is going to be SO GOOD. Their call to Jacques Chirac was legendary. Although it made Stephen Harper come off much worse than Chirac!

I'm looking forward to this almost as much as the election!

So they don't screen VPs or phone calls?

Oh man, this will be epic

Apparently anyone with a heavy French accent is French President enough for them.

I hope it's a thick French-Canadian accent like with the Harper-Chirac prank. Because then it would be obvious she can't even tell apart French accents and Quebec accents. So much for seeing Canada from your back porch!

/I'm Jean Poutine, and I approved this message.

Palin has already exhibited enough FAIL to discourage anyone on the fence about her qualifications.
That being said, I can't wait to hear this tape.

She sounds like a retard, but on the other hand--how would you react if a country's leader just called you out of the blue? And she wasn't the least bit suspicious. Amazing.

Nailing' Palin--OMG

Wow.

She's a moron.

This needs to go to the main page.

I can't believe how gullible she is, and the fact that they slipped "Nailin Palin" right by her.

That's not the Nailin Palin that the pranksters were referring to.

Seriously. First of all, has she ever heard a French person speak? That accent was ridiculously jokey. And how the fark can you not think its a joke when the dude talks about Cheney and his wife. Oy.

 
Lionel Mandrake [TotalFark] 2008-11-01 05:57:15 PM  
I can just imagine a prankster calling President Palin mimicking a drunk, pissed-off Putin. She'd nuke Moscow.

For God's sake, keep this idiot out of the White House, FOREVER.

Heck, they could do Yeltsin. Like she would know the difference.

Mordant [TotalFark] 2008-11-01 06:26:17 PM  
Figures all you libs would stand by and laugh as her first amendment rights are trampled like this.

 
NeverDrunk23 2008-11-01 06:29:17 PM  
Does this mean we have to go back to Freedom fries and Freedom toast?

 
Atypical Person Reading Fark [TotalFark] 2008-11-01 06:31:32 PM  
How are her rights trampled? And, um, these were Canadian pranksters.

I love the part where "Sarkozy" tells her that his wife is jealous of her beauty, and she gracefully accepts the compliment. The Beauty Queen in her makes her quite vulnerable to this kind of prank.

Seriously. And if she thinks she's hotter than Carla Bruni, she's insane.

 
cptrios 2008-11-01 06:32:37 PM  
Wow...kudos to her for handling it well when they told her, but holy crap, how can someone be that stupid? If not the terrible accent than for what he was saying.

Transcript here (new window)

A: 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.

P: Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.

A: Yes, in French it's called de rouge a levre sur un cochon, or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber...it's his life, Joe the Plumber.


For those of you unfamiliar with French, de rouge a levre sur un cochon is "lipstick on a pig".

That was rather painful.

10/10, given Palin's recent statements about the 1st ammendment.

Mordant: Figures all you libs would stand by and laugh as her first amendment rights are trampled like this.

hahaha... wait... what exactly do you think "First amendment rights" are?

The right not to be prank called?

 
Epsilon [TotalFark] 2008-11-01 06:37:25 PM  
I know she's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I have to say I'm surprised she didn't catch on to the joke sooner.

 
LincolnLogolas 2008-11-01 06:37:37 PM  
Oh... My... God...

 
Russad 2008-11-01 06:38:22 PM

Snap.

 
Hollie Maea 2008-11-01 06:38:40 PM  
I can't believe she didn't notice the fake name for the Canadian PM.

 
Steed Lankershim 2008-11-01 06:38:54 PM  
What struck was the borderline cartoon-like accents the guys used. And no one on in the Palin camp suspected anything. Also, she seemed a little pissed at her staffer when she was handed the phone and "Sarkozy" wasn't on yet.

 
stargazer101 [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-11-01 06:38:56 PM  
I love how she bluffs her way through all the fake names

 
LincolnLogolas 2008-11-01 06:38:59 PM  
"We could try unteeng from elicopter like you do!"

I'm not. Extreme gullibility is a highly desirable quality of world leaders. Just look at Winston Churchill.

 
McBatt [TotalFark] 2008-11-01 06:39:26 PM  
Scientific fact- people believe anything you say, as long as it's in a foreign accent.

 
andrewagill 2008-11-01 06:40:35 PM  
Hollie Maea: I can't believe she didn't notice the fake name for the Canadian PM.

The speaker did sort of plow through the names, so it's not impossible that she just assumed that she misheard it.

/Still, she's pretty dumb.

 
LincolnLogolas 2008-11-01 06:41:38 PM  
"It's called 'Marcel the guy with bread under his armpit'"

 
Gordo 2008-11-01 06:42:18 PM  
Looks like Mordant knows almost as much about the first amendment as Palin does (audio link). Only the US government can "trample" your first amendment rights, not citizens. Especially Canadian citizens.

 
Supes 2008-11-01 06:42:23 PM  
That's hilarious.

 
Testiclaw 2008-11-01 06:42:37 PM  
Did that strike anyone else as sounding a lot like prank calls in high school?

Her campaign and the way she handled the call were amateur, at best. And people actually want that in the White House?

ÉCHOUER

Read the first amendment again.
