WorldCitizen: McBatt: WorldCitizen: I've always wondered about this though. How do they verify that it's a world leader on the phone? Even here, how often does the US President call someone and then have to spend time trying to convince them that it's really the president?

caller ID. No, really!

So political leaders at all times have on them a list of all legit phone numbers from which other world leaders might call them? I can see that of a president as they have that huge staff with them at all times and have all the resources of all the years of the office of the presidency to develop them. But do VP candidates have all of this same information with them at all times?

He didn't try that shiat on Joe the Senator!!

sjbiars:PALIN is a MORON Moran

FTFY

/Sorry, pet peeve.

McCain for five years didn't have the benefit of having a running mate that was stupid enough to be tricked by a tacky french accent.

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

Some people just aren't cut out for logic. You are clearly one of them. Read this, then explain exactly how her first amendment rights were violated. By a couple of Canadians.

You've got a real case of industrial strength stupid going on there, son. I can see why you're so defensive. Birds of a feather, and all that.

This comment must be pretty embarrassing for you. I'm going to go ahead and quote it to make sure it gets full exposure.

This was so bad that at points I figured she HAD to know it was a prank but was playing along, SNL-style.

Then I heard her frantically conferring with her staffers after the radio guys told her she'd been pranked.

I don't know which is more astounding - her stupidity or her ignorance.

You need more proof that conservatives are treasonous?

They want HER in the oval office. Yikes.

This can't be real.

I mean, Palin's terrible, I'm shocked that she's able to shock me more with her stupidity.

But this CAN'T be real.

Can it?

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


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

Yes, and he said it in a thread that went to the main page, where there are sure to be Farkers who don't pay a whole lot of attention to current developments in politics. For that sort of strategery...

unit63: How many nails do you think this coffin can hold?

I think we're way beyond nails at this point, they should've encased it in concrete and dumped it in the ocean by now

I'm sitting here finding it hard to believe that Palin can really be this.. Unbelievable, no words exist.

/Would like to hear the Obama prank tho...

this is like the biggest troll evar.

either that or you guys are so damn stupid to believe that palin would talk to canadians that don't matter on the radio. and especially considering how easily it is to get someone who is an impersonator to call in or receive the call...

you guys all get a big huge fail tag.

So someone convinced Palin she was talking to Sarkozy for 6 minutes. Big whoop. Someone's managed to convince Obama he can make a difference for the next four years.

/good luck with that

InternationalShoe:
Yeah I got that, and I'm pointing out that you are a douchebag even by Fark standards.

Woah there homeslice, when did FARK get standards?

What the hell is wrong with Jacque Cherac? Kevin and Bean on KROQ in Los Angeles also did a successful prank call to him pretending to be Jerry Lewis.

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

Isn't this what Bush had in mind all along?

Was Palin's call to Ashley Todd also six minutes long?

/ still want to hear THAT recording
// for Christ's sake !
///good Evangelicals don't say that in vain

Kenwhat: but most Canadians can't even tell you the difference between a French and a French-Canadian accent

Is that statement from experience or is it an assumption?

everlastinggobstopper: Someone's managed to convince Obama he can make a difference for the next four years.

He can and it isn't going to be pretty.

Its there a measure on the ballot im not aware of that dissolves congress? Puts an end to lobbying? Removes all earmarks? Provides for a line item veto?

Pimpin' Dubya: this is like the biggest troll evar.

either that or you guys are so damn stupid to believe that palin would talk to canadians that don't matter on the radio. and especially considering how easily it is to get someone who is an impersonator to call in or receive the call...

.....

Tattoo that fail tag to your forehead. Her campaign has acknowledged that she got pranked.

She must be dumb. Biden wouldn't have fallen for that. He and Obama have super-hearing.

I'm still wondering what first amendment right protects you from getting prank called?

Is it against her religion? Were the DJs a US government entity? No?

Carry on.

Bwahahahaha!

Maybe these two will show up on her doorstep next...



/obscure?
//C'est bon, les Pop tarts!
///shamelessly hotlinked, hostie!

How hot was her pussy?

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

Her First Amendment rights seem to be her biggest problem....particularly when she keeps using them.

/Oooooh, darnit!
//Hey, we can bomb Canada for this, right?
///Darn right, we can!!!

Haha, that was genius.

Her staffers let the call through because they hate her guts.

alsih2o: Can anyone bring a parallel incident in American politics of Palin? She is a stunning anomaly.

Actually, I think Dubya is a very close parallel. They have a lot in common.

de_Selby: total fail. the team gave her so many clues that it was fake, from the name of the canadian PM to the name of the special american adviser.

shame on her, really.

To be fair, pretty much nobody in the English-speaking world knows who the hell Johnny Hallyday is....

shotglasss: Good thing they didn't do this to Biraq Obama. They would be charged with a hate crime by the media.

Weird, I never knew the media could press charges. I always thought that was a sovereign power of the state. you learn something new everyday. Idiot.

I want to feel sorry for her, but she just won't let me.

Bill Frist: Semi-Sane: I see no flaw in the way Palin handled the situation.

Except not recognize a fake canadian PM name.

Or a fake French accent.

Preston Preston: Some people just aren't cut out for logic. You are clearly one of them. Read this, then explain exactly how her first amendment rights were violated. By a couple of Canadians.

Tard.

Sarah, PLEASE. PLEASE disappear!!!!

mmarteen: Not to be all partisan and all, but I just can't picture Obama or Biden falling for this.

Actually I can imagine Biden falling for this. He gets punked by real questions all the time.

And for the person who was laughing about the Prime Minister of Quebec--from Wikipedia:

"The Premier of Quebec (in French Premier ministre du Québec, sometimes literally translated as Prime Minister of Quebec) is the first minister for the Canadian province of Quebec."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_of_Quebec

A premier is not the same as a prime minister. A province's premier is the equivalent to a state governor, like Sarah Palin for instance.

"Ok, but if you don't get the president on the line you're going to have to answer to the Coca Cola company."

Came for the obvious humor, and left with more.

If it wasn't for the repetition of banal talking points (with someone who theoretically would not care), she did better than a pig with lipstick.

I can't believe this. Is this huge or what? Will this be on CNN tomorrow? I told my wife that this will be huge.

I am now beginning to think that the McCain campaign is being run by undercover Dems. There is no farkin way these people are that stupid.

I've been thinking for a while that Obama has strategically placed moles in the McCain campaign. Obama has a habit of announcing what McCain is about to do, a couple days prior.

Also think it's possible Sarah wore that Donkey-Vote scarf on purpose. Before she was nominated, she said some positive things about Obama, and she hasn't seemed too pleased with the campaign she is in, of late.

She sounds like a nice lady on the phone, but also a dimwit.

That prank was so unbelievably bad that I was cringing. I kept waiting for her to say "wait, are you for real?"

The only point where it seemed "real" was when Sarkozy wasn't on the line right away. But the Sarkozy voice turned out to be sillier than Sarkozy's "assistant"'s voice.

The real idiot is Palin's assistant, who didn't screen the call at all evidently.

What the hell was going on with her staff?


Were they expecting a call from Sarkozy? Do they really just hand her the phone that easily?

Mighty Horse: Palin gets fooled by Canadians, half of America gets fooled by a Kenyan...what can you do?

Poor McBushies, try to get over it - Whadayasay, Kenya?

Holy crap. Or merde I suppose. This is real? Palin better hope she can land a job as a tv host after this cause her political career is over.

Can you imagine the practical jokes Putin and Chavez would play on her if McCain croaked?

Actually on second thought don't think about that.

VideSupra: I'm still wondering what first amendment right protects you from getting prank called?

Another one!

Wow...the dumb is strong tonight.

Preston Preston: Oh noes! I called the troll stupid! What was I thinking?

NO, you didn't NOTICE it was a troll and made a dumb reply, totally missing the reference for the joke.

not sure if this has been posted yet ... very cute
