Oh good lord. Maybe you all haven’t seen this, everywhere, and maybe that’s why hundreds of you send this to us, every hour, because you haven’t seen it, and yet you know about it, and have the YouTube link. Anyway, very funny! Did you know Sarah Palin is a gullible idiot? Yes? Well, here is more fun proof. [Justiciers.tv/YouTube]

Palin’s Last Stand
Oh. Dear God.
Hey, where did her Fargo accent go?
I couldn’t finish listening to that. Too painfully cringe-inducing.
My wife, she ees hot in bed. Faites le cochon!
They are truly doing God’s work.
Oh, Christ, thanks for posting that here. I’d heard about it too, just hadn’t seen the video. Makes me proud to be Canadian….
Sweet zombie Jesus, she’s an idiot.
LMAO
The funniest thing about this is the utter believability of the Sarkozy impersonation. Given that he’s currently bent out of shape about a voodoo doll in his likeness, his reaction to THIS is going to be priceless.
I enjoy evidence of Sarah Palin’s vacuousness as much as the next gal, but what the fuck is going on with her staff that they would hand her the phone!? Is Willow screening her calls at this point? Can this campaign not even afford caller ID?
Didn’t she bash Obama for being willing to talk to foreign leaders without preconditions?
And she’s running for VP and she doesn’t have anyone screening her phone calls?
WTF?
Hi, this is Genghis Kahn for Governor Palin….”please hold.”
“Oh it’s so nice to talk to you…….”
Oh.my.god. It’s funny. But it’s horrible. Ack! She wants to ‘kill to birds with one stone’! Ha ha. I want to kill myself now.
Hahaha! Congratulations Canada on moving to the 24 hour day!
Hilarious!
[re=159573]Democratica[/re]: Also, why haven’t they get a PBX that lets “Bexxie” (who I assume is a stripper) transfer the call to Palin instead of handing her the same physical handset? Sharing handsets is neither professional nor hygienic. Ugh, imagine if you were the poor campaign staffer who had to use a handset encrusted with John McCain’s smelly old man spit (handsets used by Barry smell like clean linen and baby powder).
Oh holy hell! This is sooo much worse than the cut I heard on the news! Seriously? This is real? This isn’t some bizarre backwards joke that she was in on? Really??
Reason 9000 why SP has no business being anywhere near a red button.
Uh oh, now we’re at war with Canada.
Dumb as a stump? Oh you betcha!
Dear Jeebus! Is this woman and her staff really this stupid and incompetent?
Yes.
[re=159581]jagorev[/re]: Seriously. Bexxie? Bitsy? Betsy? Lordy.
Nailin’ Palin indeed. More like shooting moose in a barrel.
It should not be this simple to talk to a major contender for the vice-presidency. We are living in a broad 80s satire of how America works.
This is how you kill two birds with one moron.
“Governor 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. C’est la vie,”
– Sarah Palin campaign statement on prank calls
Ho brother…..
“Obama’s campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs, commenting on the prank, said: “I’m glad we check out our calls before we hand the phone to Barack Obama.” ”
Ooooh, burn!
Well, we have the plot for Nailin’ Palin II: The French ReVulvaLution, starring Nicolas Hardkozy & his sultry Italian wife Carla Boobni in a steamy transcuntinental wife-swap liaison dangereuse avec slutty Sarah and rock hard Todd the Rodd Palin.
How you say, blecch?
Great security by the Palin consorts. She actually did a good job playing along with the guy.
[re=159571]One Yield Regular[/re]: Since he is a frustrated neocon maybe he’ll invade Quebec.
Weeping Jesus: Absolutely, she’s a true comedic genius.
Oh man…
Oddly, she seemed to be okay with it at the end there and was being kinda gracious, then the staff like cut her off, retroactively vetting the caller…? Why can’t they let Palin be Palin? Example #4,569.
I wonder if they ran out of material or got bored with her jabbering, cuz that could have gone on for a long, long time.
Please nobody call her on the night of the 4th and tell her she won the election. She’ll have all her shit in front of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue the next morning and the guard’sll be mortified at having to tell her the truth.
Oh wait — I’ve changed my mind.
once again we see which ticket has the maverick experience and country-first courage to be out-witted by a local montreal radio show.
Sorry, Nothing! at this point surprises me. She is, at least in my view, to be pitied….
But I sure as hell don’t want this twit second in command!! – oh, wait, could Tina Fey pul a Kevin Kline “Dave” ??? OMG.
Ok , Wonketteers, keep that thought in play, ’cause the Repubs will steal this election, mark . . . (um wait, crap! I’m not doing Anything that has Biden’s bad cess on it..) So leave it at : Repubs will steal this election given any tiny, teeny, plumber-ass-crack chance they can!) Um as an editor: stet!.
[re=159595]Uncle Al[/re]: Tomorrow she’ll be mentioning this call in her stump speech as part of her foreign policy experience.
Maybe this was an elaborate revenge by Nicole Wallace. I really doubt anyone is that incompetent. I mean these were Rove’s disciples – they were supposed to be trained by his evilness .
[re=159617]StrangelyBrown[/re]: Hahaha!!! …..uh,..seriously, she might.
Couldn’t she see these two guys laughing at her from her house?
I wonder what Betsy’s next job will be.
Yet again, Wonkette is like 8 hours behind the rest of the internets. What do you bloggers do that doesn’t involve blogging? Surely it can’t be more important than what you get paid to do for a living?
How much will you guys give me to call Palin, impersonate Vietnamese First Lady Trần Thị Kim Chi and start a fight with her about socialism? I think I picked up enough of the accent when I lived next to a Vietnamese restaurant to fool Palin’s staff.
Ms Moosefart’s staff learned all they know about vetting calls from the way WALNUTS! vets his running mates.
I’d like to see someone call her from Wyoming and claim to be the Dark Force Satan, Crusher of Spirits Since Before Void Begat Time, and tell her that He is delighted to endorse her and McCain for … oh wait …
Is there an advocate for Special Needs Governors?
I can’t listen to the whole thing, too painful. But I have BBC playing in the background, and World Service began their hour with a clip of it as a teaser. Sigh. Wonkette is 8 hours behind internets and BBC is one hour behind Wonkette.
I wonder if there was some previous set-up call that alerted Bexxie “Sarkozy” would be calling because she didn’t even pause when the fake aide called. It seemed like she was expecting the call.
The first time I started to listen to this much earlier I had to turn it off because I was so embarrassed for her. Then I gathered a bunch of friends to listen to it together. We could not quit laughing.
Last Night, Bill Maher called the Palins a family of freeloaders and said they were proof that we built the fence on the wrong side of the border. Possibly, but I think we should let these guys come here whenever they want.
Um, isn’t this why every campaign should have a “safe word”? Mine’s “Moosetard”
Really, though, I’m surprised so many people are surprised by this. The minute America’s Most Vacuous Governor started palling around with that shrill harpy Hasselbeck, I think we all knew it was over: http://urbzen.com/2008/10/23/evil-barbie-overload/
[re=159616]Words[/re]: there are millions of plumber ass cracks in that glass ceiling.
Well, she knows that the first lady of France is hot. I think that is more foreign affairs knowledge than any of us gave her credit for.
Oh my god. This is much worse than the bit I heard on TV. Sarkozy’s Special American Adviser is Johnny Halliday… She is such a frekin’ moron, the poor thing.
I thought that after this I would no longer be surprised by anything, but apparently not.
This basically made my day and also made me really, really sad/embarrassed.
[re=159574]Uncle Al[/re]: Hehehe! “One precondition President Obama would insist on is knowing to whom he is speaking . . .”
[re=159623]McCainsThirdNipple[/re]: Just be the dipshit’s third nipple and SHUT THE FUCK UP!
It makes me a little bit happy to know she’s not going away any time soon.
I like how any fucking temp with an IQ above room temperature can find the fucking MUTE button on the phone. But not the dimwit answering Sarah’s line. Sweet Jesus.
Um, my roommate’s Russian. And I speak German. Who’s got the number? Quick. Nah, they wouldn’t be stupid enought to fall for it twice. Bets?
I’d love to give her the benefit of the doubt, trying to be polite when she didn’t understand what he was talking about. (French speakers: did he say something about pigs and lipstick?)
But damn! She is dumber than a box of hair!
I felt totally bad for her. I see her as a hateful figure, and I want her to go away, but at this point in the campaign this is just picking on the dumbest loser in the room. Not a great comedy angle.
At first, I was a bit sympathetic. She can be forgiven for not knowing who Johnny Halliday is. Johnny Halliday is an overrated, outdated Mick Jagger wannabe.
But they gave her plenty of chances to say, hey, wait a minute, who is this really?, and she never took them.
When he said “I can see Belgium from my house” I thought he said “I can see Belgium from my ass.”
Oh man, you would not believe how I heard about this on Saturday. I got an e-mail from a pal in France who has family in Montreal. I crapped that baby out as a Forward to the entire contents of my address book, and laughed long and hard with my pals who know some French. It was a good day. Meanwhile, I was phone banking at the time. Talk about renewed vigor. I really needed that.
I can’t believe she was so stupid to giggle nervously when she didn’t understand the language or anything else. She fuckin’ agreed to club baby seals with Sark. This whole Sarah Palin thing has revised the terms and conditions of WTF. WTF!!!!
Psst – what if Obama wins? Look, I know it’s crazy to expect a guy so far ahead in national polls to actually win the contest, but what if Obama can do it? Someone has to plan for victory here, just in case.
http://mojopo.blogspot.com/2008/11/chronic-underestimation-v-caution.html
I think McCain is evil, but he just rocked SNL. He was hilarious. My future husband Barack Jesus Christ Obama is wonderful, but McCain is funnier. Now, I’m worried.
[re=159666]the invisible woman[/re]: I saw it too – McCain was hella funny! But I’m not worried. He knows he can’t make it happen on the 4TH and agreed to be a parody of himself. That doesn’t make him a better man, but it might set the stage for noble loser who has about 500 lbs. of Washington Ass to eat when he gets home.
This is basically shooting butterflies with a bazooka, but sweet weeping Jesus, she giggled and THANKED him for liking the documentary Hustler did on her life???
You know, I can see how she didn’t know to question what was said to her. After all, SOMEBODY was supposed to screen the calls. The accent was just good enough that I didn’t really hear the giveaways (Johnny Halladay) at first. Meantime, she thinks she’s talking to a G8 leader, and she sure isn’t gonna diss him, now, is she? She may not have heard of Nailin’ Palin, either.
Now don’t get me wrong. I fucking detest that dominionist, wealth-grabbing, hate-mongering 3 diamond VP-wannabe, but she couldn’t win at this, no matter what she did. If she hung up, and it WAS Sarkozy, it’s an international incident. If she plays along, it’s a joke at her expense that she might be able to flip to her advantage. Of course, that assumes she’s smart, and that’s not the case, needless to say….
The fact is, she truly had no clue, but we knew that already. So, in the final analysis, it couldn’t a happened to better target.
Just like her selection for VP, this is another example of the straight-talk express on it’s roof in the ditch with one flat tire left, and there’s a TruckNutz dangling right beside it.
I’ll be honest. I always thought Palin was a lot smarter than she seemed on teevee. I always thought that Palin’s sheer idiocy was some dark Machiavellian ploy to woo swing state voters and their guns.
But no. This woman is dumb as rocks. God help us all if the republicans win.
Anyone who’s heard Sarkozy’s voice, would know instantly this wasn’t him. Secondly, Sarkozy doesn’t/barely speaks English!
Palin’s ‘top brass’ should be fired.
Dopes, all ’round.
Sarah Plain can thank baby Jeebus that she got pranked by these two, rather than Gary & Blair MacLean, the original gross guys of Canuckistani comedy. They’d'a had her answering questions about whether kegels kept her twat tight after squirting out so many sprogs. Or some such. But Yahweh saw fit to take both MacLeans from us, thereby sparing her a blue routine that’d make us all spew poutine.
[re=159661]gurukalehuru[/re]: Ease up on Johnny H., guru. He was scoring hits when Jagger was still hoping to become an economist [which he has.] Funny thing about Johnny, though: he moved to Switzerland as a tax exile, only to find it didn’t save him any coin. Coulda used some tax avoidance advice from Mssr. Jagger. Johnny’s probably shagging Carla behind Teakozy’s tiny dwarfy back. She’s got a list, she’s chewin’ her way through it, and Andrew Ridgeway is anxiously awaiting his turn in 2023.
I don’t give out much free advice to Republican VP candidates, but I’ll make an exception just this once: when a guy calls on the phone claiming to be a foreign leader and starts talking about how good his wife is in bed, there’s a good probability that you’re not really talking to a foreign leader.
the ‘nailin’ palin’ bit was abit much, I actually felt sorry for her by that point.
Hey! Isn’t “Trig” the So-Cal word for “clitoris”? Or am I mixed up with some merde-de-france?
This made my hung-over morning.
What do you think those guys would take to give up Sarah’s super-secret cellphone number? Seriously, I got five bucks. Anybody willing to pitch in?
The girlish giggling between Palin and her aide at the beginning of the call reminded me of junior high school girls calling boys…teeheehee. Holy Testicle Tuesday.
Those two comedians’ reward awaits in heaven.
(uhhh, do I have a tumor or are the time stamps on Wonkette fucked up?)
I read the transcript on kos – listening to her voice is Mary Hart painful for me. But oh. my. jesushchrist. Is there no end to this woman’s idiocy?
On the upside, the humor of it all makes my headache feel better. Although I do feel kindof bad for poor Betsy who is prob off to the unemployment line. Don’t worry Betsy! Next Tues you can has all the hardworking peoples paychecks courtesy of the new socialist muslin half breed abortionist noncitizen Barry’s wealth spreadin’. Socialism rulz!!!
Wait wait wait, besides not picking up on all the clues to the call’s prankiliciousness, like somehow not seeming to know who Stephen Harper is, it almost sounded like she may believe Montreal is in France. It’s hard to make out, but after she asks for the call letters of the station, she says “France” twice while in the background. Despite my support for Obama, I’ve tried to keep an open mind about Palin, reasoning that she’s not stupid, just incurious and perhaps not very extemporaneous. Not knowing that Montreal lies in Canada however, THAT would would far exceed my minimum treshold for stupidity.
[re=159698]ironyisoverrated[/re]:
Maybe if they said “Babba Booey” she would have figured it out. Stupid as is stupid does.
Sarah Palin had a baby out of wedlock with an Ay-rab. Know what they named it Yasar Yabetcha.
[re=159695]Rush[/re]: Yeah, looks like the industrial nightmare that runs this site hasn’t heard of “Daylight Savings Time”. Unless it’ll update about 8 hours late?
Oh, but you do have a tumor.
“Governor 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. C’est la vie,”
– Sarah Palin campaign statement on prank calls
OTHER celebrities?! Did Palin just admit something here??
[re=159557]wealwaysknow[/re]: Just a couple of weeks ago, Sarkozy, who currently holds the rotating EU presidency, met Bush to demand a special summit to hammer out new rules for the global financial system. Unlike EU commission president Barroso, Sarkozy spoke in French. The prankster’s fluency alone should have tipped Palin off right away.
You’d expect a VP candidate with very limited foreign experience – or at least someone on her staff – would pay attention to world news events. EPIC FAIL.

Think I’ll try and call and say i am from Bohemian Grove, and say that if McCain wins, we’ll need to a child, maybe Trig would do? to sacrifice as part of McCains initiation into The Order of the Owl..
springfield_meltdown: I keep thinking about your comment: “she knows that the first lady of France is hot.” Maybe, that’s because she is a possible role model, as in FYWTTT. Investigate the relationship between Palin and McCain IMMEDIATELY! Get off your fishing boat and hire a private investigator NOW!… Yep, it’s good to start drinking on Sunday Morning (when it takes ahold….)
[re=159578]Giant Robot[/re]: HAH! Congratulations Canada on legalizing insulin!
[re=159704]dumbdumbbullet[/re]: Maybe you missed the part where Sarah Palin is as dumb as a sack of hammers. It’s not an act that she’s stupid. She does her best to act intelligent. She really isn’t, no matter how the right wing propaganda machine tries to spin her.
Here’s what’s so great about the internet: you wonder, “How hot is Carla Bruni?” A quick Google search reveals that she is, or was, quite smoking hawt, and not shy about demonstrating said hottitude. Almost makes you wish Fred Thompson had done better.
[re=159603]Weeping Jesus[/re]: She may have sounded like she was playing nice with the guy, but in person the laser beam eyes were reducing poor Betsy to a cider. They saw her to the curb in a dustpan.
I just heard this breaking story on the Internets : New voting regulations now permit all Republicans, registered or not, to vote by PRAYING. That’s correct. You heard it here: No standing in lines. Simple as the ABCs, but only for Republicans : Just get down on your knees wherever you are and cast your vote on November 4. All votes cast by praying are automatically registered by Diebold.
Made me proud being born in Montreal. Awesome.
[re=159648]smashtheduck[/re]: Sure, that’d work. “Governor Palin, this is Vladimir Putin. I am outraged that those Canadians would humiliate you. My missiles are pointed right at Ottawa; just say the word, and we’ll launch.”
[re=159704]dumbdumbbullet[/re]: I don’t understand how you and others can continue to blame her for not realizing this was a prank. After all, if English was good enough for Jesus, why wouldn’t it be good enough for the president of France?
I impressed a staff member answered the phone. I imagined it would be Piper transfering the calls…..”Moooooooooooooooooom–Phoooooooooooooooooone!”
[re=159601]John McClain[/re]: You are a genius.
Ugh, it’s early. Can I try again?
I’m impressed a staff member answered the phone. I imagined it would be Piper transferring the calls…..”Moooooooooooooooooom–Phoooooooooooooooooone!”
[re=159698]ironyisoverrated[/re]: I just listened to it again (this is turning into a beautiful morning) and I think Palin said “It was a radio station in France”.
There’s not a clue to be had in that head.
Canada is so in the tank. When Preznit Palin takes over she’s going to sell them to Putin for some beaver pelts.
[re=159723]bluebrazos[/re]: Yea, I heard it too, at around 5:48. I disliked Palin from Day 1 and I swear I have as much contempt for her as any one of you here, but this is simply too much for me. ANY semi-educated person in the world, much less someone running for the second-top office in the world, should know that Montreal is in Quebec, Canada, for FUCK’s sake.
off topic, but I found this on CNN Message boards. YAY Mervyn!
Mervyn Swanson November 1st, 2008 1:28 pm ET
I want to go on record to letting you know that my son is in the air force and he is due to go to Afganistan in Feb 2009. It makes me very proud when I hear him say he does not want John McCain or Sara Palin as his boss when he leaves. He believes that McCain is way too angry to be in charge and Palin has no experience. If my mind was not made up before then is sure is now. May God Bless Barack Hussein Obama and Joseph Biden when they take the oath of office to fill their terms in safety and good health.
in what respect, Becksy?
ben, il ne reste que souhaiter a tout le gang Wonkette des bébés phoques et du rouge sur les levres de tous les cochons.
[re=159732]Itsjustme[/re]: God bless us, each and every one.
And we get freshly-slaughtered bacon for breakfast!
OMFG! DON’T CRY FOR ME, MOOSELINI!
Indisputable evidence that Philly Hockey Moms are Muslins in teh tank for Hopey. This is without question the best 2008 Campaign video yet!
Wow. After watching this gem I feel really, really great about Tuesday now.
So, up to now, she mostly just accepts phone calls from anybody? “Hello, this is Joe the Plumber…. Hello, this is Nicolas the Sarkozy…. I suppose, after a phone call starting, “Hello, this is John the McCain… guess I would like to have heard the gushing that came out in that exchange…
Babelfish is worthless…
Ben, it does not remain that to wish has all the Wonkette gang of the babies seals and the red on the lips of all the pigs
Is anybody else watching MTP? Fred Thompson just explained that Sarah Palin is accessible… in that she is “touching something within the American people that hasn’t been touched in a long time.”
Please tell me someone else saw that and is as immature as me.
Caribou Barbie also missed it when the fake Sarkozy said that Carla Bruni was great in bed.
And I agree, just where did the Fargo accent disappear to?
[re=159614]SayItWithWookies[/re]: The visual is priceless.
no one’s chattin this a.m.? http://wonkette.chatango.com/
[re=159638]springfield_meltdown[/re]: Sounded like she was ready to do her alright.
[re=159659]mc_frontalot[/re]: I never waste any opportunity for laughter.
Ugh. You know she’s going to remember this as president, when she starts sending military advisors to Canada to ‘help deal with the internal Qubecois threat.’
Strangely enough I was too embarrassed for her to listen to the whole thing, even though I pray to the Muslin shark god every day for her political destruction. Get thee away from me, spark of compassion!
Isn’t it significant that she doesn’t know who is the Prime Minister of Canada? Maybe it’s because she can never turn her back on Russia to look over the border into Canada but still, he refers to the Prime Minster of Canada as Steph Cass (hard to be sure with the accent) which is clearly not Stephen Harper.
Someone get the hook.
[re=159743]itgetter[/re]: Yeah I saw that too — and I still haven’t been able to think of anything of the American people’s that hasn’t been touched in a long time. Dubya’s touched our sense of charity, forbearance, embarrassment and disbelief before moving on to unmitigated disgust — though to give Sarah credit, she’s run that whole gamut in a lot less time.
I also watched This Week, which was pretty okay — but one extraordinary moment was when George Will predicted Obama would win 378 electoral votes (no, I’m not making that up).
[re=159743]itgetter[/re]: Whatever it is, it’s not the panic button. Couldn’t be the G-spot, he wouldn’t know about that. Could be the unstoppable laughter switch, she’s sure touched mine.
[re=159755]milky[/re]: All you wonkettes probably went to Harvard and got PhDs in Uppity Upology, which is why you’re so obsessed with facts.
This campaign isn’t about “facts”, such as names of world leaders, or what continent what city is on. It’s not even about “ideas” that might be presented in elitist publications like the Washington Post or The Economist or The National Review. Nor is it about “Careful Analysis” or “Policy” or even “Cogent Thought”, all of which are uppity intellectual concepts that have no place in Real America.
This campaign is about Joe the Plumber, Moose the Pig, and Hockey the Lipstick. It’s about Not Being Socialist and Making Ayers Wright and That One Risky Muslin Terrorist.
The choice couldn’t be clearer.
If you listen closely at the end it seems that when she is asking for the call letters of the radio station, that she thinks Montreal is in France! Quelle becasse!
You call this working on the weekend? This post is at least 12 hours old. O.K., it’s really, really funny, but it’s still old.
gurukalehuru: the trouble is, these old posts give you time to reflect. I just reflected on the Cheney endorsement, and Palin’s assurance to fake Sarkozy that they wouldn’t be hunting together. So sad….
You lazy Wonketteers! Where is my Sunday post?
Denied!
Can we bring back the Sarah Palin Fail-O-Meter yet? Does anyone really want her a heart-attack away from the presidency at this point?!? Maybe a DJ pranks her in the White House to get her to launch a nuke.
I love that she pretty much fell for a generic “French Guy” voice, if she’s that ignorant about white people, imagine what a 15-year old with some theater under his belt could do to her, should he decide to impersonate Osama.
[re=159698]ironyisoverrated[/re]: Holy shit YOU’RE RIGHT. Wow.
though still not properly lanced, this boil on the butt of American politics continues to drain (per the Raw Story):
Documents reveal how Ohio routed 2004 voting data through company that hosted external Bush Administration email accounts
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Documents_reveal_how_Ohio_routed_2004_1031.html
[re=159776]RaptorAvatar[/re]: Yeah, not only that, but as someone who can see Canada from her doublewide you’d think she would be able to pick up a Quebec accent, which is quite distinctive from Sarkozy or other Europeans.
[re=159763]bluebrazos[/re]: Thank you! It is so clear now. The scales have fallen from my eyes, I lie here on my back on the road to or from someplace, blinded by the light, my God! My horse is about to step on me!
[re=159782]Gingah[/re]: Not really news, i would watch the doc free for all
The empire strikes back. Bless their hearts. But Yukon, watch your western flank. That’s going to be one enraged moose on Nov. 5.
[re=159785]Worlds End[/re]: True. My point was I *still* believe we’ve seen only the tip o’ the iceberg on the ’04 theft. Someone’s gonna make a fat wad o’ cash outta writing the definitive tome on the corruption surrounding that election…
If this had happened to a pol in Europe – say, someone hoping to be Deputy PM of the UK – this would have been instant and permanent political death. Not the falling for it necessarily, but the things she said and the way she said them. I find it so disturbing that this is just an ‘old joke’ already.
tell Opie and Hosehead that if they hear a hellocopter on the morning of November 5th, they may want to stay in doors for the day.
oh wow.
this makes me simultaneously cringe and proud to be Canadian
And she is dumber than a bag of hammers and meaner than a barrel of sickles.
The perfect end to this would be for the REAL Nicolas Sarkozy to call Palin to express his unease over her being the subject of ridicule by someone using his name.
Convinced it was another trick she’d furiously pick up the phone -
“Listen you foreign weasel, I’m not going to play your game again! Do you hear me? My first act as Vice President will be to invade your homeland – Montreal, France! We’re going to smash your wine and fry making capacity, THEN where will your sad little country, France, be?”
“But madame…”
(Interrupting) “Don’t think you can avoid justice terrorist, you’ve violated my 1st amendment rights by making me afraid that I’ll appear foolish whenever I open my gosh darned mouth! I’ll hunt you myself! From a HELICOPTER!”
[re=159789]Chairman Miao[/re]: McCain’s just old, according to Sarah he was rolling with dinosaurs.
Oh, the sound…the sound! Make it go awaaaay!!! The wrestling of the phone, the twitter of brief neuron synapse sputtering elation and confusion… Back ground sounds: “oh, it’s not him yet…I always do that! I’ll just have people hand it to me when they have ‘em on line” omg, omg, … omfg. The Palin staff hasn’t even establish proper phone etiquette yet!! And the wicked little giggle when he asked when she’s going to be President. Ewwww! Hey, WONKETTE, this (and MSNBC’s clip) has been edited. Originally, the “song” was titled “lipstick on a pig” and he TELLS HER THIS. She still doesn’t get it. He never said it was “Joe the Plummer”. The original story came out in an AP article which printed the entire transcript. Sad this was edited.
[re=159592]MrAgro[/re]:
They paid Joe the Plumber $100 for Palin’s phone number.
Actual transcript of phone call here: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/11/1/163922/235/763/649110
OK,ok..sorry to keep beating this thing to death. The transcript states:
FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called « Du rouge à lèvres sur un cochonne » (Lipstick on a smutty girl) or if you prefer in English Joe the Plumber, [sings] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber…”
But the original version was:
FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called « Du rouge à lèvres sur un cochonne » or if you prefer in English “Lipstick on a pig”….
They edited the original version and inserted the BS about the phrase meaning Joe the Plumber and singing “It’s his life, Joe the Plumber…”
[re=160236]primarywatcher[/re]: So why did they edit the original, do you think?
[re=159618]Dreamer[/re]:
Exaaaactly my thought. No way they’re *that* incompetent. And it happened at just the right time to complement McCain completely throwing her under the bus on SNL.
