Palin gets punked by Canadian comics The Masked Avengers

The McCain / Palin campaign confirms the GOP vice-presidential candidate was taken-in by a prank call from a Canadian comedians, the Masked Avengers posing as the French president Nicholas Sarkozy.

Have a listen to the Prank here!

Does this mean now that Palin has met and is willing to meet without preconditions with world leaders? She said they could go hunting after all. Is this just one more example of here differing from the McCain policy?

Palin: “This is Sarah”

Caller One: “Uh yeah, Governor Palin”

Palin: “Hellooo”

Caller one: “Uh just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment”

Palin: “Oh, it’s not him yet Betsy, I always do that.”

Caller Two: “Yes, yes hello Governor Palin”

Palin: “I’ll just have people hand it to me right when it’s them”

Caller two: “Yes hello Mrs. Governor”"

Palin: “Hello, this is Sarah, How are you?”

Caller two: “Fine and you? This is Nicholas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?”

Palin: “Ooooooh, so good. It’s so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.”

Caller two: “Oh it’s a pleasure”

Palin: “Thank you sir. We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you! And thank you spending a few minutes to talk to, … me!“

Wow. Gotcha Media Strikes again! How did the Palin staff who has never let her near reporters let this call through?

During her five minute and fifty seven second conversation she told the caller that she might make a good president in eight years. Palin also discussed politics and even took at shot at hunting with Vice President Cheney. When the caller said they could go hunting as long as they don’t bring Cheney she said ”No, I’ll be a careful shot”. 

She not even phased by the references that the caller made to outlandish people and things such as Marcel the guy with bread under his arm pit! They even told her that they “loved the documentary they made of her life, you know Hustlers Nailing Palin?” To which she replied “Oh good, thank you. Yes”

The caller went on to say “That was really edgy.”

Palin responded: “Well good.”  

Caller two: ”I really loved you.”

This is too funny – she could not have been pulled in this bad. She could not have that little mental capacity that she wouldn’t catch on before they let her in on the prank.

The masked Avengers! Palinized Palin!

In the end she spent 5 minutes and 57 seconds and she never knew she was being punked until they told her. She had no clue and in fact continued to exude the wow factor of speaking with the President of France.

I wonder if her staffer still has a job?

If one voice can change the world for Obama One Viagra can change the world for McCain!

The most telling part of the phone call was her tone of voice after the phone was handed back over to Betsy. Listen carefully. Betsy say it isn’t so. We’ve been pranked, turn it off!

VP Debate 2008 a look back

Well the great 08 VP debate is now no more than a memory. An odd and somewhat blotchy memory, but none the less just a memory. There was no terrible quicksand episode that I had looked for. No major train-wrecks to speak of. Neither of the candidates tripped on the carpet.

By the end of the night Palin did not go down in flames and Biden did not run off at the mouth.

I have read several Republican blogs claiming that Palin won the debate. I would like to know what they are basing that claim on. Is it the fact that she didn’t go down in flames? Is it the fact that she deflected enough questions that she had no idea how to answer and reiterated the others? Is it that she was cute and got plenty of “you betcha” and other Palin catch phrases in? Or was it more the case that her handlers and coaches had her set and ready to quickly push through her monologue?

If you watched carefully you noticed that she did allot of fast drawn shallow breathing as she spoke. You normally see this done when you have been taught or have memorized a speech or monologue and you are trying to spill all your information from memory as fast as you can before you loose your concentration. This is indicative of someone having been coached on an answer that they themselves do not perceive as a personal thought. If it were a personal thought there would be a slower more controlleddelivery. I will give credit though. She did better than on any of the interviews I have seen. This is a true testament to Palin and McCain’s handlers, coaches and staff They can take a bumbling idiot and pull off a quick and intense week of training and make her seem semi intelligent. Nice work guys, take a few bucks out of the campaign contributions.
