I’m actually pretty impressed that she knew who Sarkozy was.
And did she now this because a staff member said something like “President Sarkozy is on the line ma’am”? This was really funny and really sad. Her staff has got to be messing with her. Caller ID, and the Secret Service has the fancy kind that can’t be blocked and always shows the number. I kinda feel sorry for her, but if this woman into the Oval Office we would all be fucked beyond belief. Fucked so bad that a military coup might start looking like a good idea. Palin is a joke.
Possibly, but apparently she gushed over his policies (which are, as French politics go, about as close as a mainstream candidate could be to her own) and exclaimed about how much she and McCain like him.
Anyone who feels sorry for her just think about what this crazy bitch would do to this country and our Constitution if given half a chance.
Imagine if Sarah Palin had to answer the WH phone at 3:00 a.m. . . .
And how hot she thinks Carla Bruni is.
This is what she gets for agreeing to talk to Sarkozy without preconditions.
(I totally stole this line from the Daily Kos.)
Listens again, drunk… blushes.
Missed that. So you thought Sarkozy was the president of Russia ?
Oh, my god. I’m stunned… Hillary would not have fallen for this.
For starters I think she would bomb France, just to show that nobody fools Sarah and gets away with it, you betcha!. :dubious:
So what, not everybody can see rusia from where they live…
Cut him some slack dutchy he said he was drunk besides he is not running for vice president.
In defense of the McCain-Palin campaign, they’ve done this to several other people. Including Sarkozy himself and Stephen Harper. (Who you may remember from such political offices as Prime Minister of Canada, but for reals this time.)
It does seem weird that they let her just talk to the guy without somebody else listening on the line. Someone who spoke French. Someone who would give you a little throat cutting gesture when you started to suggest going helicopter hunting for baby seals might be a good idea, if everybody promised–cross their hearts and hope to die–not to shoot each other in the face.
I mean, they let her just talk on the phone, with no one else on the line, with a world leader and say whatever popped into her head. And, one of the things that popped into her head was “man, your wife is a babe!” Honestly? They might as well have put Stiffler on the line; he at least would had the presence of mind to ask Sarkozy if his mother-in-law was equally drool-worthy. That’s the type of leadership this country needs.
The part where the fake Sarkozy (in his Pepe le Pew accent) tells Palin he’d like to go hunting with her is priceless. From the transcript of the call:
*"“I just love killing animals, take away life, that is so fun,” the phony Sarkozy said.
Palin giggled.*
That, ladies and gentlemen, is gravitas. She really is “one of us”, if “us” is a dingbat.
Not as bad as that, just extremely distracted, simulataneously having a real-time conversation about prank calls in general while getting ready to go out. Very crossed up.
The black phone will be ringing Monday at the latest. 
It’s three o’clock in the morning. There’s a phone in the White House, and it’s ringing.
Don’t you hope that whoever answers it is smart enough to say “President Sarkozy would not be calling from a Canadian phone number. Ever heard of Caller ID, ya moron?” 
I just couldn’t listen. I recoiled where Kimstu did and closed the tab.
Actually it sounded less like a giggle than an awkward “oh dear” sort of laugh.
It rather strkes me the anti Palin Left are listening to this for confirmation of their biases (mind you biases with no small basis in fact it would appear, nevertheless), a neutral listen I think has to fin dit soemehwat less damning as she seems to be playing along with a ‘bizarre’ phone call, and hasn’t the experience to judge whether its false or whether Sarkozy is merely a nutter. Now, with Sarkozy, the nutter option can not be entirely ruled out as such…
In any case, this is not likely to have an effect of any sort.
I do confess, however, that she does not sound in the least like someonw with the presence and command to truly hold such conversations. So perhaps I am wrong, perhaps it does have some reflexion.
I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn’t listen to the end of the “interview” last night.
I did feel sorry for her, but that feeling was immediately swept away by fear that such a person could ever be in the White House. When she doesn’t know what to reply, she just fakes it. It’s stunning in an “Omigod can this be possible way”
Will it have an impact on Palin supporters? No. There seems to be a sort of cultish devotion to ignorance around her. Dems will be comforted that they are supporting the right ticket.
May Obama win. He must.
