“It has to be a fake Palin — no one running for office, no matter how unsophisticated in the ways of international affairs could possibly believe they were getting a cold call from the President of France. If it is her on that call, I’m afraid it doesn’t do much for the ‘she’s a quick study’ theory. “

It is her. The campaign said so.

“In a statement Saturday, Ms. 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.”

They’re well-known but notice that their targets never listen to Quebec radio. That’s the key to an effective phone prank- always call someone who’s never heard of you.

If it is her on that call, I'm afraid it doesn't do much for the 'she's a quick study' theory.

Well be afraid then, because it was her. On the plus side, she sounded very nice and friendly. On the down side, well, let's just say that the folks who already think she's a drag on McCain's ticket will have lots of new material now.

Please, it was a prank call and just shows that she is a trusting person. With all the other ‘static’ going on the last three days of the election, this is a non-event.

Comment bon est la connaissance de Sarah Palin de français ? Était cela qu'elle a parlé dans le Président Sarkozy ? Ou elle arrive comprennent par la plaisanterie de Vengeurs Masquée ? Montréal a certaines personnes très bizarres. Seulement à Québec!

I'm sorry. Could you translate? I dont speak in surrender talk.

;-)

Read post #23 by Oztrich Boy. The full transcript of the call. Nothing serious or to loose the head about.

She gave them no material that could be used against her.

“Too bad the Brits didn’t send ALL their sorry butts back to France in 1763.”

Wouldn’t that have had implications for the chain of events that led to the War of Independence?

Why? The French Canadians did NOTHING to help Americans during the Revolution. They supported the Brits
