Here's a link that doesn't require registration, and a great article on it.

I think like a lot of Americans she has a really hard time understanding anyone with an accent. Many of her responses sounded like she didn't know what was being said.

She really should take the japanese schoolgirl route and just giggle whenever she hears something she doesnt understand, it would be far less embarrassing.

Incidentally, dressing as a schoolgirl is also what it'd take to make Swift admit she's attractive.

[Mayhem]

At least she would be dressing her (mental) age.

I really, really, really object to having somebody who believes the apocalypse is coming in their lifetime with their hand so close to the nuclear trigger...

[Veilan]

But self-fulfilling prophecies are the best!

[Brokenbone]

Hasn't seemed to get much press in the U.S., but some goofball DJs in Quebec I guess prank called Palin (somehow getting through all her layers of handlers), claiming to be the President of France. Lots of silly stuff like offering to shoot moose from helicopters some day together, as well as a (funny only to Canadians) set of misnaming / making up of various Canadian officials... which tends to generate well wishes for such fictional folks.

Also based on Morbidkate's earlier picture from I guess Hustler, this bit was funny:

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

P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

A: That was really edgy.

P: Well, good.

Thought it good for a chuckle!

[Mulu]

That was so last page!

So, come tomorrow 7pm EST I guess it's back to arguing about Charisma!

[Brokenbone]

Ah you're right, I missed it (prior page)... only found the transcripts today though heard of it all Sunday.

The guys on CKOI have done this to many celebs and world leaders prior to nailin Palin

She's such a moron:

---

Sarah Palin: This is Sarah.

Masked Avengers: Ah, yeah, Gov. Palin.

Palin: Hello.

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

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

A: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin.

P: Hello, this is Sarah, how are you?

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

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

A: Oh, it's a pleasure.

P: 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.

A: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday, you know?

P: Yes, good.

A: Excellent. Are you confident?

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

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

P: 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.

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

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

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

P: Maybe in eight years.

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

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

A: 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 phoque s, aussi.

P: 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.

A: 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.

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

A: 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.

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

A: 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.

P: 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.

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

P: 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.

A: 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.

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

A: 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.

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

A: 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.

P: 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.

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

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

A: 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.

P: 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.

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

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

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

P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

A: That was really edgy.

P: Well, good.

A: 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.

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

A: CKOI in Montreal.

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

A: CK...hello?

[Brokenbone]

"On pourrait tuer des bebe phoque, aussi" I guess means something like "we can go kill baby seals too..." when the hunting invite was extended.

And the bit about the wife writing a song about "de rouge a levre sur un cochon" I gather is something like "Lipstick on a pitbull" (as opposed to a song about Joe the Plumber).

Again, I don't expect people to have a working understanding of French (I don't have one!), just must've been funny for a Quebec based audience.

[Rusty]

I don't expect people to have a working understanding of French (I don't have one!)

Whatever, Monsieur Quebecois.

[MorbidKate]

You certainly don't have to be French speaking to know what's funny and this is even more funny than when they got Britney Spears.

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

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

HAHAHAHA!!!

Brilliant.

So when does Larry Flint poney up the bones for her nude layout. Or better yet, when does he come out with the sordid details of her sexual exploits.

[Veilan]

So, not that it matters...

but I'm still not convinced that Palin is preaching the end of days and really convinced by it. I'm also a bit wary of the parallels drawn:

With Obama, Mulu hopes he's just not really honest about being religious, yet with Sarah Palin, he believes it firsthand. Why? And if you were right, wouldn't that make Obama, political realities of having to preach the gospel aside, the more insincere candidate?

And what's the deal with the witch-exorcism. Does she do that regularly? I mean, you all want a candidate who's "intellectually curious", and this, imho, falls under this. She's opportunistic, no doubt, but also curious enough to try it. Heck, I'd try it too, just for the kicks and giggles, just like snowmobile racing is fun or any other crazy stuff you do in other cultures on vacation, just to try it out. I mean, I'm not promoting drug use either, but I don't see the problem if you puff the shisha just to know how it's like.

If she really believed in it all, that would be a problem, but I'm getting the strong impression that had she only grown up on the eastcoast instead, she'd have displayed the same curiousity and opportunism and would be cheered on as a democrat now. She does have a lot of flaws, no doubt, and I'm not saying omg she's good - I'd certainly not vote for her - however, most criticism so far seems unevenhanded and in fact a pounding on by people who have preconceived notions that they share anyway, stuff like "if you go to an exorcism once you're a hardcore christian fundamentalist".
