The full transcript of the prank call in which Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was tricked into believing she was talking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. It was in fact Canadian radio comedians Masked Avengers.
Palin: This is Sarah.

Avengers: Ah, yeah, Gov. Palin.

Palin: Hello.

Avengers: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.

Palin: Oh, it's not him yet, they're saying. I always do that.

Avengers: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin.

Pal
in: Hello, this is Sarah, how are you?

Avengers: Fine, and you? This is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?

Palin: Oh, it's so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.

Avengers: 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 for taking a few minutes to talk to me.

Avengers: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday, you know? (actually a French singer likened to Cliff Richard].

Palin: Yes, good.

Avengers: Excellent. Are you confident?

Palin: Very confident and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening and...

Avengers: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now, my dear?

Palin: I feel so good. I feel like we're in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon you get your second wind and you plough to the finish.

Avengers: You see, I got elected in France because I'm real and you seem to be someone who's real, as well.

Palin: Yes, yeah. Nico, we so appreciate this opportunity.

Avengers: You know I see you as a president one day, too.

Palin: Maybe in eight years.

Avengers: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common because personally one of my favourite activities is to hunt, too.

Palin: Oh, very good. We should go hunting together.

Avengers: Exactly, we could try go hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that.

Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoques, aussi ("We could kill a few baby seals, too"].

Palin: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.

Avengers: I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun.

I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President Cheney.

Palin: No, I'll be a careful shot, yes.

Avengers: Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium. That's kind of less interesting than you.

Palin: Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.

Avengers: Some people said in the last days and I thought that was mean that you weren't experienced enough in foreign relations and you know that's completely false. That's the thing that I said to my great friend, the prime minister of Canada Stef Carse (actually a country & western singer].

Palin: Well, he's doing fine, too, and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder.

Avengers: I was wondering because you are so next to him, one of my good friends, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois (actually a comedian], have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?

Palin: I haven't seen him at one of the rallies but it's been great working with the Canadian officials. I know as governor we have a great co-operative effort there as we work on all of our resource-development projects. You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife.

Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.

Avengers: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you, even though you know she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today.

Palin: Well, give her a big hug for me.

Avengers: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she's so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.

Palin: Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.

Avengers: Yes, in French it's called de rouge a levre sur un cochon, or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber...it's his life, Joe the Plumber.

Palin: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plough through that criticism.

Avengers: I just want to be sure. That phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That's not your husband, right?

Palin: That's not my husband but he's a normal American who just works hard and doesn't want government to take his money.

Avengers: Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.

Palin: Right, that's what it's all about, the middle class and government needing to work for them. You're a very good example for us here.

Avengers: I see a bit about NBC, even Fox News wasn't an ally as much as usual.

Palin: Yeah, that's what we're up against.

Avengers: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?

Palin: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

Avengers: That was really edgy.

Palin: Well, good.

Avengers: I really loved you and I must say something also, governor, you've been pranked by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.

Palin: Ohhh, have we been pranked? And what radio station is this?

Avengers: CKOI in Montreal.

Palin: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.

Avengers: CK...hello?

This transcript proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Sarah Palin really is a bimbo of titanic proportions.

"We could kill a few baby seals, too" -

Avengers: "I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun"

Avengers: "Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium. That's kind of less interesting than you"

Avengers: "You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she's so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you"

Avengers: Gov. Palin, "I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?"

Palin the consummate simpleton, the biggest bimbo of all time strikes again

Here's a transcript from Carolyn at post #147
http://news.scotsman.com/world/McCain-tries-39terror39-weapon.4648187.jp#3390644

"It's an honor to be nominated for a Sarah Palin Bimbo award"

"Yea, I cannot stress enough, Rob, how I am so very very fortunate to be so lucky in being what you call a Bimbo; I am even more honored that you put me in the same class of recognition as Sarah Palin"

Well folks, there you go, a frank admission that sums it up nicely

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time." Sarah Palin on the other hand.......

If John McCain does get elected president then has an accident of any kind which prevents him working, just imagine, this woman is the person with the finger on the button!

How could anybody be so stupid! There were so many hints in that conversation, it beggars belief...

Rest assured that the usual evangelical/conservative/zionist ladies frequenting these boards will continue to identify with Sarah NO MATTER WHAT SHE SAYS OR DOES !

That is not the full transcript. They left out Palin's minder's comment at the end which shows that they are as stupid as each other.

I think it is unaharmonious to show politicians like this. Who knows whether or not she believed everything. Maybe she was just being polite. Why should she speak French, and why should she "correct" the "French President".

#1 Matt there, Somewhere

Are you afraid to give your locations because of the jealousy and envy evidenced in your posting?

Canada has a lot to be proud of: the second-largest country in the world, the largest producer of postash and mustard seed in the world, boundless natural resources, we are a bilingual country with a Queen of Canada, we have legalised same-sex marriages, we have legalised medical marijuana, we are the biggest trading partner of the US of A, we are polite and witty, AND we have "shock-jocks" such as those French-Canadian radio hosts.

What have YOU to be proud of - YOU who hide your identity by not posting your world location.

She knew she was talking to Canadians, so of course she had to lower her standards and talk to them as one would to children.

#9 I totally agree — this shows how mean the pranksters are more than anything. Who would want to keep pointing out to someone that they are getting names wrong & so on? This stuff backfires & will bring Ms Palin a lot of sympathy votes.

"....bring Ms Palin a lot of sympathy votes".

So now we know why McCain chose her. I don't believe the "Sympathy" vote is what's needed to drag the US out of the mire.

#13 I'm talking about what I think some people's responses will be — not the responses of an intelligent man of reason like yourself who would know full well how to "drag the US out of the mire."
