I don't like these kind of sophomore pranks being done to celebrities.I know many people think it makes Palin look dumb, but it also makes the audience look like it's primarily Joe Plumbers and Six-packs. "Haha. They made funny with a famous person." The subject matter of their conversation and weak imitation of French politicos makes these suburban-basement clowns look pretty dumb as well.

Palin Camp Responds to Spoof quote: Sarah Palin's campaign issued an "mildly amused" response to having joined Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy in having been the victim of a prank by a pair of French-Canadian comedians who impersonated Sarkozy on a call with the Alaska governor.The prankster talked hunting ("I just love killing those animals."), and Palin said she was a "careful" shot in contrast to Dick Cheney. He also made a reference she appeared to miss to a porn movie in the conversation, which can be heard here and here. He said he could see Belgium from his house, described "my special American adviser Johny Halliday," a French singer, and referred to Canadian singer Stef Carse as Canada's prime minister, as Palin continued the conversation until he explained it was a prank. "Gov. Palin received a phone call on Saturday from a French Canadian talk show host claiming to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy," emailed spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt. "Gov. Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy, and other celebrities in being targeted by these pranksters. C'est la vie."

It's conficting, really. I've seen Palin made fun of quite a bit. I mean, I turned off the Curic interview. I can take being embarassed. I mean, look at me here. But I can't take being embarassed for someone else. On the other hand, she's involved in some pretty serious freakin' business. And people should be aware of her abilities, such as they are. On top of that, there's been stuff she's had to handle that's been sexist, and that's wrong even if it isn't our political ox being gored. For once. Any way you slice it, painfull to watch. But much of it necessary, I suppose. [ 01 November 2008: Message edited by: Tommy_Paine ]
