"United States vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin fell prey to a Canadian prankster on Saturday when he called her impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy and got her to accept an invitation to hunt baby seals.

In an over-the-top French accent, a member of the Quebec comedy duo The Masked Avengers, famous for tricking celebrities and politicians including Sarkozy himself, asked if Palin would take him on a hunting trip by helicopter, and then in French said they could also go kill baby seals.

An apparently oblivious Palin said she thought that would be fun. "We could have a lot of fun together as we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way."

Good god, this is even worse than when her email got hacked.

Is there no limit to this woman's idiocy?

I fail to see how any of this reflects on her ability to be VP

You don't find being an idiot a disqualifying trait?

Hey, after Bush, idiocy seemed almost a requirement to make it to the White House!

This is who becomes president if an 72 year old cancer patient kicks the bucket

Mccain's health doesn't exactly look amazing.

It's a little worrying, he had surgery to remove cancerous cells in February... the poor chap obviously isn't in the best of health.

The Masked Avengers are marxists. Baby seals will be allowed to marry under an Obama regime.

Who defines that falling for a prank call is the sign of an idiot. If they had sent up Barack, then the pranksters would have been the evil ones.

I don't blame her for actually falling for the prank as I suspect many people would but my cat could have sounded less idiotic.

Your cat sounds like an empty suit.

This idiot surrounds herself with advisors and assistants who just hear a French accent and then hands the phone to their 'commander in chief', whispering in panicky voices "It's the FRENCH PRESIDENT! WOW!".

Sure, a prank like that would probably catch any of us, but it shouldn't catch anyone aspiring to be a nations' president.

So, that prank would probably catch you, but she's an idiot and you're not. Got it.

Had it been Obama who fell for this do you think the right wing crowd wouldn't be crowing about this long and loud from the tree tops?
