- BlueDjinn, on 11/01/2008, -14/+924Was that actually PALIN?? For real???
Dear God. The implications of this are astonishing.
Not so much about her--she reacted pretty much exactly how I was expecting, given everything we know about her (although even I was amazed that she didn't catch on when he a) started SINGING and b) referred to NAILIN' PALIN, fer Chrissakes!)
HOWEVER, the implications regarding the McCain campaign's utter lack of ANY sort of security/screening measures is nothing short of amazing.
How the ***** did these guys manage to get through to the VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY??
What sort of screening process did they use? Do they just let ANYONE claiming to be Someone Important® get through to Palin?
What about McCain? Are his calls screened any better?
What about if (god forbid) they somehow win?? Can we expect any "Joe the Plumber" to be able to just wander on into the White House any time of day?
Jesus. The Secret Service must be livid. - inactive, on 11/01/2008, -7/+863This is the actual audio of the call. These guys are genius.
Go Kenneth and Phillip! - mikiturner, on 11/01/2008, -18/+782Epic fail. Just, wow.
- Muzikal203, on 11/01/2008, -5/+668She's trying to get them fired as we type. . .

- airwalkery2k, on 11/01/2008, -6/+538Thank you, Canada. I may have blamed you for several things, but I take it all back.
- uninspireded, on 11/01/2008, -6/+520I didn't think it would take much to convince Sarah Palin that she's on the phone to the French President - haha, I loved it!
- okayokayokay, on 11/01/2008, -28/+501Wow. Sarah Palin has no F-ing clue what she's doing.
- MangalaIII, on 11/01/2008, -84/+554UUUUGGH GOOOODDD, WHAT AN IIIIIIIIDIOT.

..................................., - uglyowl, on 11/01/2008, -5/+451At the end she doesn't know how to handle the prank and McCain expects us to believe she can handle a real crisis:
Oh what's your call letters".. mumble mumble mumble "Sorry I have to let you go." - KaiserArny, on 11/01/2008, -1/+436"My wife wrote a song for you:"Du rouge a levre sur une cochone" really means lipstick on a pig.
- mf2112, on 11/01/2008, -3/+422Some staffer, maybe more than one, is now packing their stuff and walking out in disgrace. Grandpa will not be happy about this.....
- charm803, on 11/01/2008, -4/+422She said "thanks" regarding Nailin' Pailin.
OMFG. - xaoiv, on 11/01/2008, -10/+395Keep in mind while listening to this: SHE COULD BECOME THE PRESIDENT!!!
Obama/Biden '08 - Siraf, on 11/01/2008, -3/+351This makes me proud to be a Canadian. *tear*
- MKSinSA, on 11/01/2008, -13/+346Oh God! The mockery has now gone international. How f-ing embarrassing!
- inara23, on 11/01/2008, -2/+331"I just LOVE killing those animals! Take away life, mm mmmm that is so fun!"
Yes Sarah. That is definitely the President of France. - WeAreAllScrewed, on 11/01/2008, -1/+290haha, gotta love the "Nailin' Palin" part. She just says "thanks"? nice.
- Anzat, on 11/01/2008, -3/+285So will the right-wingers shun her for acting so gosh-darn happy to be talkin' to France?
- niradg, on 11/01/2008, -10/+264i haven't laughed that hard since watching Borat
- Anzat, on 11/01/2008, -8/+259Sometime in the next 24 hours:
The real Sarkozy: "Hi, this is Nicolas Sarkozy. I want to offer you my sympathies about that prank call."
Sarah Palin: "I'm not falling for that one again, you jerk!" *click* - moosetoga, on 11/01/2008, -1/+243She seemed to have absolutely no suspicion that it was a prank until they told her it was one. Her reaction to "you've been pranked" was stunned silence, followed by "...ohhhh."
- BlaqReaper, on 11/01/2008, -8/+248Honestly, it was pretty obvious they were mocking her.
Things that blew over Palin's head:
1). Hunting with her in a helicopter/mocking Dick Cheney
2). Seeing Belgium from his house
3). Mocking Joe the Plumber
4). Nailin' Palin
I only can think of one word for this: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH - smookyfufu, on 11/01/2008, -5/+239IT's real, they issued a statement. here is proof
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/01/masked-av ... - Alexcarrier, on 11/01/2008, -3/+228These guys have been doing that for a while now, and have caught a large amount of celebrities, including Sarkozy, Queen Elizabeth, Bono, Bill Gates, etc. Still is impressive they managed to fool the Secret Service!
- inactive, on 11/01/2008, -11/+223The kind of leadership we need!
- machocheese34, on 11/01/2008, -1/+208I hope this becomes one of the most dugg things ever
- TunaFishGangsta, on 11/01/2008, -4/+204Or she's going to get a phone call from a man with a thick middle-eastern accent... "yes this is Vladimir Putin, WW3 is on bitch."
5 min later she will be hitting the red button.
And yet half of all Americans believe that she is ready to be President. Most likely because they want Jesus to come back and they know she is the bringer of Armageddon. - kcurtiss, on 11/01/2008, -8/+195If McCain/Palin get elected at least one good thing will come out of it - 4 years of great late night tv material
- kingofinternet, on 11/01/2008, -3/+186is this the best the republicans can offer the american people? really?
really? - rootbeerinacan, on 11/01/2008, -1/+172A thing they said was that his favorite type of hunting is from a helicopter and it's called "tué les bébé des phoques d'un helicopteur."
The translation of this is "Killing baby seals from a helicopter"
I am SO proud to be a Canadian right now, you don't even know... - inactive, on 11/01/2008, -6/+173WOW!!! Not only is she clueless....apparently her staff is clueless as well! Notice how she just says the same cliches over and over and over.... she is a robot.....and not one of those smart ones either....she's like a robot with only 5 different options for responses ie: Maverick, reform, you betcha, plow through finish line, Be scared of Obama. LOL! This is the most pathetic presidential campaign ever! GET OUT AND VOTE FOR OBAMA PEOPLE! OR SARAH PALIN COULD BECOME PRESIDENT!
- ZeeZee2k, on 11/01/2008, -1/+152The woman who answered that call is so getting fired...
- inactive, on 11/01/2008, -3/+154VOTE TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4TH!!! GET IT DONE EARLY IF YOU CAN!!!!
- carbon12, on 11/01/2008, -1/+140This is REAL!!!
The prank has been confirmed by Sarah Palin's own campaign: http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g6h1fK1yrnh6Tqp ... - rocknsk8r, on 11/01/2008, -2/+136"You know we have a lot in common also except that from my house I can see Belgium."
- FRodriguez719, on 11/01/2008, -3/+132She's gonna throw stuff at them from her porch when she gets home.
(Hey Muzikal203, I'm "VT ConQuest" on dKos) - renegadeafk, on 11/01/2008, -1/+129what a ***** idiot, and if McCain wins this woman could some day be the ***** PRESIDENT.
- infinityredux, on 11/01/2008, -1/+119I was actually doing that while listening to the clip
- KibblesnBitts, on 11/01/2008, -4/+121Holy *****
that's all I have to say - diggapleeeze, on 11/01/2008, -1/+117who'd a thought the October surprise would have come from Canada?
- Alexcarrier, on 11/01/2008, -2/+117It does, although "cochonne" usually means "smutty girl" in french ;)
- Hidama, on 11/01/2008, -2/+112Is she hitting on his wife?
- dissolved, on 11/01/2008, -1/+102Not worth it.
- jer2eydevil88, on 11/01/2008, -4/+102If Sarah Palin has Foreign Policy Experience because she can see Russia from her front porch then that means I'm an Astronaut because I can see the moon from mine.
- inactive, on 11/01/2008, -3/+101Haha. Oops I meant Terrance & Phillip. LOL
- ZeroOrDie, on 11/01/2008, -2/+99Is she that stupid?
Eh, I shouldn't even ask when I know she is. - Digitalicious, on 11/01/2008, -11/+102I've just left a brick in the toilet...
- Wryly, on 11/01/2008, -1/+91Don't they have Call Waiting in Alaska? She could've phoned-a-friend.
