The Jerky Boys are back!

I couldn't make it through more than thirty seconds. I was cringing the entire time, because you knew she would not only fall for it, but say something unimagineably dumb too. Truth be told, the idea of her speaking to any foreign leader at all is chilling to think about.

I once fell victim to one and still remember it with some anger. However much I think Ms Palin is not ready to be Vice-President, I end up feeling sorry for her.

but, hell, give Carla a hug for me too.

Engage ego - disengage brain. Palin's ego will be her downfall yet. Did she really think Sarkozy would call her or would want to talk to her about anything? My God . . .

Laugh and laugh and laugh and sigh. I still do not feel sorry for her, but I sure do feel sorry for the handler who answered the phone, and will be looking for a new gig come Wednesday.

Palin is the village idiot. How could she not figure it out in the first minute? Does she not know anything? Honestly, this is about as much fun as Cheney endorsing McCain today. I am not sure what could top this, but I am certain we will see it by Monday. Of that, I am sure.

Please Joan, don't waste your empathy feeling sorry for her. She has set women back about 400 years - she made it popular for girls to be dumb as long as they are "hot".

Oy.

These guys good 'n got 'er

And scored a direct hit.

This was not a very nice thing to do. I abhor Palin, but I do not support this kind of crap.

That having been said, did it not occur to anyone in the Palin camp to try and vet this call? Or was it all, "Nobody vetted Palin, so Palin doesn't have to vet anybody"?

Surely there is a way to make sure the person on the line is the actual foreign leader (s)he claims to be. Some kind of president's secret telephone code word?

Good God, imagine if Palin gets elected, and gets a phone call from someone claiming to be an ally, and she gives military secrets away to some enemy.

This whole thing is disturbing on so many levels.

Joan,

Clearly the time is overdue that you spend some quality time with some women of color. Ask them if they feel sorry for Sarah Palin. Maybe you will get some cultural perspective on how big of an insult Sarah Palin's inclusion in this campaign is. This dimwit is in the running for the second highest job in the land and a woman of color can't even get hired on her staff or McCain's!

This prank clearly shows that she puts the "D" in DUMB. Granted her staff should have never allowed this to happen, but it didn't dawn on Palin that Sarkozy would have absolutely no reason what so ever to talk to her. She clearly didn't even bother to ask any questions, she just took the call at face value. That's scary for someone who claims to be ready to lead America.

This woman who rejects being educated, thinks it's okay to be ignorant about current events, people, anything that does not revolve around her tiny world in Alaska wants to lead our country? You should feel sorry for the American people who are following her, not Palin.

Did she really think the president of France was telling her that his wife was hot in bed, singing to her, and confusing a porn movie with a documentary about her life?

Even the comedian seemed to be amazed she wasn't catching on, no matter what over the top, goofy thing he said. I think he figured she would catch on when he talked about how fun it was to kill and take life away, after that, it was all just gravy for him. He finally seemed to get bored with it, she would have stayed on the phone until the battery died.

Is this repayment for trying to position herself for 2012?

Sarkozy calls, and she just chats? Does she take every call?

She didn't say anything dumb, per se, but at some point "Joe the Plummer" etc. should have started tipping the small-town mayor off.

No, definately not ready to be President. McCain must be wonder if he can leave that woman alone for a few minutes.

Sheesh..........

I never understood the fun of pranks. Someone says "hey, I just got in a car accident." "Hahaha, tricked you, I really didn't get in a car accident. Woop woop." Anyway, I figure it's a result of cat pee infection.

By the way Joan, you must cut back on the botox injections into your caricature. The botox is leaking into your brain.

Those guys need to be awarded the Order of Canada.

No kidding I mean, why would a staffer take a call like that without any screening whatsoever? Apparently, no procedures.

Ya got Prince Albert on the can?

At this point, Palin is a pitiful character. Its like bullying the weak kid at school, or when chickens peck the sick or weak chick to death.

the same pair called G W Bush when he was elected pretending the be Canada's Prime minister "Poutine" poutine is actually a chips cheese and gravy dish popular in quebec but GW seemed unperturbed ... the pair are quite famous for this.

Scary!

However, I just laughed my ass off! How can she be that dim-witted?

Wow.

Oh, wow.

How . . . can she have . . . how?

Seriously, even leaving aside the staffing problem of allowing this call to take place (hell, Canada and France have WILDLY different phone numbers) she should have known SOMETHING was up way early on. I think the most troubling thing is more that she know so little of Nicolas Sarkozy that she really thought he would talk to her like this.

She does the same thing here she does in debates, though - diverting everything she hears back to her talking points. Maybe that's how she missed out on every extreme thing he said; she doesn't seem to even have really heard him when he says things like "Nailin' Palin".
