Yeah, isn't there one point where the French they use translates to "Lipstick on a Pig"?
And at the end where she's scolding her staffer, she says "Some radio station in France." Hey lady, you can see CANADA from your house a lot easier than you can see Russia. Maybe you should learn that the PM of Canada is Steven Harper and that Quebec doesn't have a PM, as it's PART OF CANADA. Just a thought.

Yeah, and how about Sarkozy doesn't even speak English! Everytime I see him on American TV he has a translator.
Well the polls open here (in Delaware) at 7am, but different states have different polling hours. Honestly the excitement isn't going to really start until around 8pm EST because that's when districts begin reporting.
Phoenix is going to be crazy tomorrow with the swarm of reporters. It's starting up already. Gah, the traffic on Camelback Rd. What about you Chicago boardies? Anything starting up yet? This is sort of cool. It's like we're roving reporters.
Here's the transcript of the call, for anyone who hasn't yet heard of its glory.
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 phoques, 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.
Ahh, but Kay you missed the part at the end where she tells her staffers that it was a radio station IN FRANCE. Because she doesn't know where Montreal is.

Haha, I love it. Some people are skeptic that is really her... but I think it is or else she would have issued a statement saying it wasn't.
Phoenix is going to be crazy tomorrow with the swarm of reporters. It's starting up already. Gah, the traffic on Camelback Rd. What about you Chicago boardies? Anything starting up yet? This is sort of cool. It's like we're roving reporters.
They started to get stuff together at Grant Park last week. Grant Park is where Obama is having his rally.
The Secret Service has shut down all UPS, FedEx, US Mail, etc. at 2pm today.
The city has added more trains and buses for the influx of people coming in for the rally, whether they have tickets to get into the rally or not.
There's a spark in the air and the weather is beautiful.
I'm so glad I voted last Saturday because the wait time is currently 2 hours.
Haha, I love it. Some people are skeptic that is really her... but I think it is or else she would have issued a statement saying it wasn't.
Really? I mean, didn't the campaign issue a statement saying she was "mildly amused"?
Edit: Found it! Campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt released this statement: "Governor Palin received a phone call on Saturday from a French Canadian talk show host claiming to be French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Governor 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."
I don't think we should ignore the many politcal gaffs made by Joe Biden either. But what's important now is what goes on tomorrow.
If you want to bring up more Biden gaffes, I say GO for it. Biden suffers from verbal diarrhea, there is no denying that. In fact I remember the day he was announced as running mate, we all stood around at my friend's bridal shower saying "Oh G-d, I hope he doesn't say anything stupid". Nonetheless he has served the state where I live exceedingly well for the last 35 years and has served as chair of the foreign relations committee multiple times. I'm pretty sure, therefore, that he knows basic geography and the names of foreign heads of state.
Look I'm all for balanced discussion, so I'll bring up a stupid thing Biden said. He made a comment about all the Dunkin' Donuts in Delaware being staffed by people of Indian descent. It was a very ill-advised statement to make and completely smacked of racism. I will say, however, as a resident of the state in question, I haven't walked into a DD where a white person was working in a very long time. Not that it matters, because it doesn't. Just hand me my Chocolate Frosted and Mocha Coolatta and no one gets hurt, I don't care what color you are. But the statement was accurate, at least, unlike mistaking Montreal for a French city.
But Palin? This is a woman who made rape victims PAY for the tools the cops needed to investigate their case in a state with one of the highest rape statistics in the country. How is that good for any of us? Should I also remind you of her association (since she's such a fan of guilt by association) with the Jews for Jesus? Or the fact that she thinks Global Warming isn't man-made?? We're talking about Ignorance. Complete and utter ignorance. Not difference of opinion, but refusal to acknowledge widely recognized facts, which only reminds me of GWB's attitude.
