You must check out the audio. From the BBC:
US vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin has become the victim of a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as the French president.
Marc Antoine Audette convinced Alaska's governor she was speaking to Nicolas Sarkozy during a six-minute chat aired on a Montreal radio programme.
Topics discussed ranged from the beauty of Mr Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni, to the prospect of a joint hunting trip.
A spokesperson for Mrs Palin said she was "mildly amused" by the prank.
At one point during the phone call, aired three days before the US election, Mr Audette told Mrs Palin he could see her as president one day.
Laughingly, the Republican candidate replied: "Maybe in eight years."
I'm amazed this part didn't tip her off.
Mr Audette said he would be keen to join her on a helicopter hunting trip.
"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," he said in an exaggerated French accent.
"I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President [Dick] Cheney."
In 2006, Mr Cheney infamously shot and injured a hunting partner while quail-hunting in Texas.
Mrs Palin responded: "I'll be a careful shot."
