Prank call catches Palin off guard

Nov. 2 - U.S. Republican VP candidate, Sarah Palin, unwittingly takes a prank call from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy who tells her she would make a good president someday.

U.S. vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin fell prey to a Canadian prankster on Saturday (November 1) when he called her impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy and got her to accept an invitation to hunt baby seals.

In an over-the-top French accent, a member of the Quebec comedy duo "The Masked Avengers," famous for tricking celebrities and politicians including Sarkozy himself, asked if Palin would take him on a hunting trip by helicopter, and then in French said they could also go kill baby seals.

An apparently oblivious Palin said she thought that would be fun. "We could have a lot of fun together as we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way."
