I've seen a couple things like this lately, and I just want to say, this is not audio sift.

This is classic, video or no.

I have to agree that it is brilliant and seems genuine.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

OMG I would promote this if I had the points.

I like this sift. It just seemed to go against what the site is to me.
I've been wrong before though Maybe someone should make a *NoTube channel.
There's lots of good audio out there to sift.
Hell, it could even get broken up into audio books, speeches, etc

edit:
and I just saw this on MSNBC
too crazy not to upvote, doggonit

Oh Sarah! You lovable douche!

She really IS a douche!

I love how she asks for the radio station name.... as if she could actually do something about this.

She has quite the flirty little laugh she was leveling at Sarkozy, especially when he said she could be President some day.

I heard these DJ's on another raido talk show earlier today, they couldn't belive she didn't clue in. They prepared a number of questions and they expected her to clue in around the 3rd one. So after that one they had to start ad-libbing since they had run out of prepared material. They have done similar pranks many times before and the only person they could compare Palin to was Britney Spears as she was *almost* as clueless as Palin. They couldn't belive that her handlers didn't figure something was up when the president of France called in from a Montreal area code, just a little bit different than a France one.

Nice,
and I agree with all who've suggested and audiosift channel.

It's kind of disturbing that she didn't realize it wasn't Sarkozy after he said the prime minister of Canada was Stef Carse, and not Stephen Harper.

Since this is Sarah Palin, she probably doesn't even know who Sarkozy is.

Transcript from dailykos:

SP Assist: This is Betsy.
MA: Hello, Betsy. This is Frank l’ouvrier (Frank the worker], I’m with President Sarkozy, on the line for Governor Palin.

SP Assist: One second please, can you hold on one second please?
MA: No problem.

SP Assist: Hi, I’m going to hand the phone over to her.
MA: Okay thank you very much I’m going to put the president on the line.
SP Assist: Ok he’s coming to the line.

SP: This is Sarah.
MA: Okay, Governor Palin?

SP: Hellloooo...(long drawn out, like Well, hellooooo)
MA: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.
SP [To someone in the room]: Oh, it’s not him yet, I always do that. I’ll just have people hand it to me right when it’s them.

FNS: Yes, hello, Governor Palin? Yes, hello, Mrs. Governor?
SP: Hello this is Sarah., how are you?

FNS: Fine, and you, this is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?
SP: Oh...so good, it’s so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.

FNS: Oh, it’s a pleasure.
SP: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you and thank you for spending a few minutes to talk to me.

FNS: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American Advisor Johnny Hallyday (the most famous French singer, looks like and sings like Elvis), you know?
SP: Yes! Good!

FNS: Excellent! Are you confident?
SP: Very confident and we’re thankful that the polls are showing that the race is tightening and--

FNS: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now my dear?
SP: Ah, 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 plow to the finish—

FNS: You see, I got elected in France because I’m real and you seem to be someone who’s real as well.
SP: Yes, yeah, Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity.

FNS: You know, I see you as a president, one day, you too.
SP: [Muahaaa...weird laugh], maybe in 8 years. Haha

FNS: Well, ah, I hope for you. You know we have a lot in common because personally one of my favorite activities is to hunt too.
SP: [Giggle]o h very good, we should go hunting together.

FNS: Exactly! We could go try hunting by helicopter, like you did, I never did that.
SP: [Giggle]

FNS: Like we say in France, "on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi" [Translation: We could also kill some baby seals.]
SP: [Giggle] Well I think we could have a lot of fun together as we’re getting work done, we can kill two birds with one stone that way.

FNS: I just love killing those animals. Mm, mm. Take away a life, that is so fun!
SP: [Hahahaha]

FNS: I’d really love to go as long as we don’t bring your Vice president Cheney, hahaha.
SP: No, I’ll be a careful shot, yes.

FNS: You know we have a lot in common also except that from my ass I can see Belgium. That’s kind of less interesting than you.
SP: Well, see, we’re right next door to other countries that we all need to be working with, yes.

FNS: 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 I said to my great friend, the Prime Minister of Canada, Stef Carse [Stephen Harper is the PM and Stef Carse is a Quebecois country singer who covered Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart in French in the 90s].
SP: Well, he’s doing fine, too, and yeah when you come into a position underestimated, it gives you the opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder-

FNS: I, I was wondering because you are also next to him, one of my good friends, also, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois [a famous Quebec radio host], have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?
SP: Uh, haven’t seen him at one of the rallies, but it’s been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as governor; we have a great cooperative 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, even, with that beautiful family of yours.

FNS: Thank you very much. You know my wife, Carla, would love to meet you. You know even though she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today. [Hahahaha]
SP: [Hahahha] Well give her a big hug from me.

FNS: 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.
SP: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that.

FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called "Du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne" [Translate: Lipstick for a sow literally (but not properly) but it actually means an uninhibited girl] or if you prefer in English Joe the Plumber, [sings] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber..."
SP: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism like

FNS: I just want to be sure, I don’t’ quite understand the phenomenon "Joe the Plumber," that’s not your husband, right?
SP: Mmhmm, that’s into my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.

FNS: 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, oui."
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.

FNS: I seen a bit about NBC even Fox News wasn’t an ally, an ally, sorry, about as much as usual.
SP: Yeah that’s what we’re up against.

FNS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s "Nailin Palin."
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.

FNS: That was really edgy.
SP: [Laughs] Well good.

FNS: I really love you. And I must say something, so, Governor, you’ve been pranked.
By the Master Avengers. We’re two comedians from Montreal
SP: Oohhh have we been pranked? And what radio station is this? [tries to force herself to sound nice but you can tell she’s pissed]

FNS: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
SP: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters
[SP leaves phone, continuous griping in background, sounds like, "For chrissakes...that was ??? Just a radio station prank...chrissakes..."]

MA: Hello? If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain.
[Man’s voice in background: hang up, hang up.]
SP Assist: Hi, I’m sorry, I have to let you go. Um, thank you.

Of course she doesn't know who Sarkozy is; she can't see him from her front porch.

hahah.. the Associated Press just picked up the story.

^From the article: "Obama's campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs, commenting on the prank, said: "I'm glad we check out our calls before we hand the phone to Barack Obama.""

Lol.

But he can see Belgium from his ass. I'm glad they did this prank, I've been having a debate with my wife about whether Palin is really as stupid as she comes across or if it's an act. This settles the matter.

If Palin had known that Sarkozy himself doesn't speak english, she would have seen through this at once.

hmmm... did this make anyone else very uncomfortable?

... it was like someone picking on the slow kid.

Kudos to those guys from my hometown! this just assploded all over the web! +1

I did a double take at that one when I first heard it. He said "house" with a French accent - so yes, he made it sound like 'ouse, or "ass".

ROFLMAO

If she were simply the mayor of Wasilla, or even just Governor of Alaska this prank would be just mean. But she's running to potentially be the Queen of the most powerful, wealthiest, most potentially dangerous country in the world. They said in a later interview that the only person they'd ever pranked as clueless as Palin was Britney Spears, and they figured even Spears wasn't quite as clueless.

Also, Krupo, the official transcript reads "Ass", I'm sure he slurred it to make it sound like he could have been saying "house" but as you say, the french accent would make it "'ouse" not "Ass".

I've seen three other transcripts of this exchange online, and this is the only one that says "ass."

It's also by no means "official." It's from DailyKos, an american liberal website, and the transcript was provided by one of their users. It's just another guy with nothing better to do than listen to that nonsense 15 times.

Exactly. And I base my interpretation on living and working with Quebecers, and knowing their accent.

It was, if anything, a delightful cross-lingual pun.

Also, interview news from: http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5idPXM6GDkOzIX-_At5WVYrBoJ6JQ


In 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.

"It really took a lot of work," he said.

"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."

It 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.

"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.

"You can see that she's, well, not really brilliant."

i don't say this often but OM MY GOD

For the first time ever.

I actually think Quebec did something good for the rest of Canadia!

Hooray!

I too found it quite difficult to listen to. I really had to just scroll through to the end catching bits and pieces, because I was so embarassed for her.

Seriously, it really does look bad that a) the call didn't get picked up as a prank, considering these things take a bit of time to set up and get vetted and that b) she didn't twig... I mean, the doco Nailin' Palin and she doesn't twig?

Yeah, after the heart attack I want her with the nuclear codes. Some radio station in Israel gets on the phone with President Palin and pretends to be the Iranian President about to blow up something.

"Ooh, I know", says Palin, "Let's nuke 'em."

Yeah, raises some pretty serious questions on that front.

Update - Canadian news reports they'll be interviewed by the major US news networks tomorrow too. Well done.
