Que Sarah Sarah

Crikey, I came across an article that really made by day! Especially in the run-up to American election week! I wonder if presidential candidate John McCain ever regrets shooting himself in the foot by electing hockey mom Sarah Palin as his running mate.

She's been involved in so many media faux-pas that she really cracks me up... they just get funnier and funnier!

Here are some of her quotes:

"They are also building schools for the Afghan children so that there is hope and opportunity in our neighboring country of Afghanistan."

"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." (er, is she forgetting the Pacific Ocean?)

"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?" (she doesn't really understand the role that she's standing for =.=)

"There's a place in Hell reserved for women who don't support other women." ( so does that mean that Oprah would go to hell, despite all her charity work?)

But I swear, this one really takes the cake.

Palin tricked by comic in fake phone call

US Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin has been the victim of a prank phone call by a French-Canadian comedian impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

After Palin realised the weekend call was a hoax, her campaign staff admitted she was "mildly amused."

The prank tag-team from Quebec, "Justiciers masques," who have previously targeted heads of state and celebrities, posted the conversation on their website.

In the recording, John McCain's running mate enthusiastically takes the fake Sarkozy's call.

"It's so good to hear you, thank you for calling us ... we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I, we love you!" Palin said.

...

When the fake president told Palin his wife Carla Bruni is "hot in bed," the governor chuckled and complimented him for his "beautiful family."

...

"We should go hunting together," Palin said.

Palin laughed in response to Audette's comment: "I just love killing those animals ... take away life, that is so fun!"

...

"I see you as a president one day, too," said the comedian.

"Maybe in eight years," replied Palin.

...

The McCain campaign later released a statement about the phone call.

"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."
