If you haven’t already heard about the hilarious prank call Sarah Palin received last week, you’ve got to check out the audio over at The Huffington Post. A Canadian comedian convinced Palin that he was Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s President, making jokes and saying lewd things as Palin awkwardly laughed. Clearly, most of it went right over her head, but she seemed to perk up when fake Sarkozy mentioned hunting.
From The Huffington Post:
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.
How her camp didn’t realize this was a prank, I have no idea, especially as they were calling from Canada – not France (hello, caller ID?). Unsurprisingly, Palin sounds like a complete moron, thanking fake Sarkozy (Marc-Antoine Audette of Montreal comedy duo ‘Masked Avengers’) when he complimented her on the ‘documentary’ about her life, ‘Nailin’ Paylin’.
After learning it was a prank, Palin’s camp said “C’est la vie”, while the Obama campaign commented, “I’m glad we check out our calls before we hand the phone to Barack Obama.”
Perhaps what Palin’s hiding by not releasing her medical records is that she’s had a full frontal lobotomy. I mean, really.
