Sarah Palin, claps along with the crowd before she addresses a campaign rally in Erie, Pa. Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/Keith Srakocicb, 21b,121Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, claps along with the crowd before she addresses a campaign rally in Erie, Pa. Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS/Keith Srakocicb, 21b,121Jessica Murphy, THE CANADIAN PRESSb, 21b,121At the other end of the line? An oblivious Sarah Palin.b, 21b, 21The 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.b, 21b, 21Throughout 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.b, 21b, 21"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.b, 21b,121At 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.b, 21b, 21"Maybe in eight years," she replies with a nervous chuckle.b, 21b, 21Over 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.b, 21b, 21"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.b, 21b, 21Throughout the conversation, Audette drops plenty of clues that something's amiss.b, 21b, 21He 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.b, 21b, 21"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."b, 21b, 21Audette 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.b, 21b, 21"I'll be a careful shot," responds Palin, who praises Sarkozy throughout the call.b, 21b, 21"I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally - and your beautiful wife, oh my goodness," she says.b, 21b, 21"You've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours."b, 21b, 21Audette 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.b, 21b, 21Audette 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.b, 21b, 21Finally, he mentions a notorious Hustler video titled "Nailin' Paylin," describing it as "the documentary they made on your life."b, 21b, 21"Oh, good, thank you, yes," Palin replies.b, 21b, 21"That was really edgy," Audette says.b, 21b, 21"Well, good."b, 21b, 21In 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.b, 21b, 21"It really took a lot of work," he said.b, 21b, 21"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."b, 21b, 21It 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.b, 21b, 21"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.b, 21b, 21"You can see that she's, well, not really brilliant."b, 21b, 21In a statement Saturday, Palin's team said the vice-presidential nominee was "mildly amused" to learn she was the victim of a prank.b, 21b, 21"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.b, 21b, 21"C'est la vie."b, 21b, 21Audette, too, was contrite afterward.b, 21b, 21"I hope we won't have a one-way ticket to Guantanamo Bay."b, 21b, 21The 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.b, 21b, 21In 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.b, 21b, 21Known as the "Masked Avengers," they've been popular on the Quebec comedy scene for a decade.b, 21b, 21The 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/a1

A lot can happen in four years to raise or lower someone's political popularity and with Palin, the idea she's going to unify a party already undergoing considerable disintegration is a f*cking joke. She's popular - don't get me wrong - but only to part of the GOP base. I think there are just as many who think she's a disaster for the party but they won't voice that (now). b, 21b, 21Palin only seems attractive compared to the rest of the current GOP leadership crop. In hindsight, I'm surprised Huckabee didn't do better. I think we might see him make another, stronger run.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Huckabee was pretty much screwed from the start. He had the gall to not worship at the altar of tax cuts, so he can kiss the fiscal conservatives goodbye, and he thinks "religious conservatism" goes beyond hating gays and abortion and into the realm of actually, you know, taking care of the poor and whatnot, so the religious right won't abide by him either. He's found his ideal gig hosting that show on Fox News, I think.b, 21b, 21As for Palin, I can see her succeeding in the GOP but having a tough go outside of that. Meaning, she's the type of politician who fires up the base (man, I'm sick of that phrase) and can do well in primaries, but when the scope is extended beyond the base, she's probably going to have some troubles.

    I missed the top post first time through. b, 21b, 21Just listened to this. She didn't do half as bad I expected. She was bland, complimentary and deferential. b, 21b, 21I caught the Johnny Holliday reference, but missed the other 2 French/Canadian pop singer references. I should have noticed they didn't say Harper.
