MONTREAL - In an over-the-top accent, one half of a notorious Quebec
comedy duo claims to be the president of France as he describes sex with
his famous wife, the joy of killing animals and Hustler magazine's
latest Sarah Palin porno spoof.
At the other end of the line? An oblivious Sarah Palin.
The Masked Avengers, a radio pairing notorious for prank calls to
celebrities and heads of state, notched its latest victory Saturday when
it released a recording of a six-minute call with Palin, who thought she
was talking with Nicolas Sarkozy.
Throughout the call, which was making the rounds in U.S. political
circles by day's end Saturday, Palin and the pranksters discuss
politics, pundits, and the perils of going hunting with Vice-President
Dick Cheney.
"We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you,"
Palin gushes, evidently unaware she's speaking to an infamous Quebec
comedian named Marc-Antoine Audette.
At one point, Palin even comes close to confirming her intention to one
day run for president, when Audette slyly remarks he can see her taking
over the big desk in the Oval office.
"Maybe in eight years," she replies with a nervous chuckle.
Over the course of the interview, Palin doesn't seem to realize she's
being tricked until Audette comes clean near the end of the call.
"Ohhhh . . . have we been pranked?" she says, in her inimitable style.
Seconds later, Palin's aide can be heard taking the phone before the
line goes dead.
Throughout the conversation, Audette drops plenty of clues that
something's amiss.
He identifies French singer and actor Johnny Hallyday as his special
adviser to the U.S., singer Stef Carse as Canada's prime minister and
Quebec comedian and radio host Richard Z. Sirois as the provincial premier.
"We should go hunting together," Palin offers when Audette professes a
love of hunting - or, more precisely, killing animals. "We can have a
lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We could kill two
birds with one stone."
Audette then jokes that they shouldn't bring Cheney 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, who praises Sarkozy throughout
the call.
"I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally -
and your beautiful wife, oh my goodness," she says.
"You've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family
of yours."
Audette then tells her his wife, Carla Bruni, a singer and former model,
was jealous to hear Sarkozy would be speaking to Palin. "Give her a big
hug for me," Palin responds.
Audette goes on to describe Bruni as "hot in bed" and claims she's
written a song for Palin, the French title of which translates as
"Lipstick on a Pig." In English, Audette says the song is about Joe the
Plumber.
Finally, he mentions a notorious Hustler video titled "Nailin' Paylin,"
describing it as "the documentary they made on your life."
"Oh, good, thank you, yes," Palin replies.
"That was really edgy," Audette says.
"Well, good."
In an interview Saturday, Audette told The Canadian Press it wasn't easy
setting up the interview with Republican presidential candidate John
McCain's running mate, and described the accomplishment as the pair's
biggest triumph to date.
"It really took a lot of work," he said.
"We had to go through the Secret Service, the people in her entourage.
It's the biggest coup so far. We're proud to add (this prank) to our top
hits."
It took the pair, known for securing surreptitious interviews with
celebrities, politicians and heads of state, five days to set up the
call, Audette said. The secret to getting powerful people on the line?
Time and persistence.
"I wanted to see how (Palin) was on an intellectual level," Audette
said, comparing the latest prank to the duo's crank call with pop idol
Britney Spears.
"You can see that she's, well, not really brilliant."
In a statement Saturday, Palin's team said the vice-presidential nominee
was "mildly amused" to learn she was the victim of a prank.
"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," said spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt.
"C'est la vie."
Audette, too, was contrite afterward.
"I hope we won't have a one-way ticket to Guantanamo Bay."
The well-known radio prankster duo of Audette and Sebastien Trudel have
most recently tricked Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger. Other celebrity
victims include Spears and Bill Gates.
In 2007, they conned Sarkozy himself by impersonating Prime Minister
Stephen Harper. And their 2006 call to former French president Jacques
Chirac was rated by the BBC as one of the top 30 all-time best moments
in radio history.
Known as the "Masked Avengers," they've been popular on the Quebec
comedy scene for a decade.
The Avengers, who have a regular show on Montreal radio station CKOI,
will air the full interview on the eve of the U.S. elections. It can
also be heard in full on their website www.justiciers.tv .

I listened to the audio, that was so funny. I'm still laughing my ass off. That goes to show you how much of a dingbat she is.
How would you have reacted if you thought it was real?
Just wondering..........
Do you really know what her IQ is or is not?
You are entitled to your opinion, but that is YOUR opinion.
Do you really think Obama would have faired much better?
And why did they not prank him, as well.
That would show that they are equal opportunist............
Or is it just Republicans that are stupid and everyone else is smart?
Most Moderate Americans really tire of the obvious bias and vitriol that seems so vogue today.......

my guess the reason why O wasn't punked was cuz he's got smarter people around him.....
but you're takiing this off to political land....this thread was about the exposing the stupidity in america.... in this case, it's unfortunate that she let this happen to herself, and really has nobody to blame but herself..... but it was good for a few laughs,
unless....
did you think that was the president of france on the phone too? :yield:

ha! ha! ha! since these guys have prank-called the queen and sarkozy,
i wouldn't call this a sign that anyone is a dope. it does prove that those
who occupy high positions can be fooled just as easily as everyone else.
she should be glad it only went on for 6 minutes...

True story: My grandmother was a huge Tom Selleck fan back in the day. Her co-workers entered her into some radio contest to receive a phone call from Tom and yep, grandma won. The morning of the call, she answered the phone and did NOT believe it was him. He asked what would it take to convince her. She then proceeded to tell Tom that she was running late for work and if it was REALLY him on the other end, then he needed to come to her job and take her out for lunch.
He did it.
The pictures of her face when he came thru the door are PRICELESS!

Dude Palin is a total air head, and McCain is an old fart with bad teeth... u defend that? This wasnt about politics, it was for a laugh.
I want to make it clear that I'm not a
fan of either candidate - but I seriously
doubt they would've got through to Obama
for the simple reason he has run probably
the most organized modern-day political
campaign in American history. He's done
a very good job of that, and this is coming
from someone who does not like the ideas or
party of either.
