EMBARRASS, Wisconsin - Governor Sarah Palin was fooled by a radio disc jockey pretending to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
The Alaskan governor talked for a full six minutes with this impostor about the election, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, Sarkozy's beautiful wife, hunting big game from helicopters, and French ticklers.
Senator Joe Biden when told of Palin's 'fake' long distance call replied, "Gosh, that is absolutely astounding. I mean President Sarkozy doesn't even call President Bush, of course I can't really say that I blame him. I guess all of us Americans should just be glad that the 'impostor' didn't get the 'Alaskan Queen' to sign any agreements or treaties."
Biden added, "I heard from one of Palin's close aides that later on that afternoon, Sarah Louise got a call from the tooth fairy, but she didn't answer it because she was busy talking to Sponge Bob Square Pants at the time."
Reliable sources state that when John McCain heard about his vice-president nominee's fake call he remarked, "That's it! I'm taking her cell phone away from her!"
McCain stated, "This is truly getting ridiculous. Everytime I turn around the woman is doing something clearly off-the-wall...if she's not insulting nuns and their 'habits' she's shooting at squirrels and dalmations from the top of our campaign bus. I will sure be glad when this election campaign is over."
When reporters asked Governor Palin about her call from Sarkozy she replied, "Well ya know it sure did sound like President Sarducci. I mean the caller had a French accent and he mentioned French things like the Eiffel Tower, can-can dancers, the Louvre Museum, Tony Parker, French kissing, Brigitte Bardot.com, French maids, Menage-a-trois, and French fries."
Palin went on, "And he even gave me a personal invitation to visit France and go big game hunting with him. He said that we could shoot French animals like cliche's, cul-de-sacs, deja vu's, and bonjours. I told him that I could hardly wait."
The governor added, "I even chatted with his wife the French first lady Carmelita Barbacoa Sarcasm and she also has a French accent. She talked about French dressing, French perfume, and chocolate mousse, which I told her I had heard of but that I have never had the opportunity of shooting one."
