Although, it was a large gap in security if someone from quebec could just call up and be put through to VP Candidate. Doesn't anyone have a call trace set up or call ID?
"Hey, this guy says he's the french president"...
"how do you know he is who he says he is?"......
"well, he's got a french accent".....
"ok, put him through"

I listened to the call on the Huffington Post's website.
Palin did surprisingly well until she was told she had been hoaxed. Then she collapsed in embarrassment, and her aide had to take the phone. If she were qualified for the job she seeks, she might have laughed it off, made a comment about Saturday Night Live, and thanked them for the fun. Then, the only people that would have known about the call would have been regular followers of that radio show.

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.
EDIT: This exchange might not have worked with a non-imbecile:
The prankster responded by complimenting Palin on a notorious Hustler porn film Nailin' Paylin, which he said was a documentary of her life.
"Oh good, thank you," Palin said.

You know, come to think of it, you're at least as qualified as Obama.
Crowley for President!
It's true. I'm always honest and I think before I open my mouth; plus I'm pretty healthy, so I won't die of a heart attack if the Red Sox win again.
This makes me more qualified than Palin and McCain too, respectively.
