The Masked Avengers, a Canadian radio duo, seem to have pranked Sarah Palin into believing they were French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
It's fascinating hearing Palin fall onto sound bites in real time. You have to admire the sort of message discipline that connects the career of Carla Bruni to the second wind of of late campaign tightening. But if she jabs her sound bites in with surprising efficiency, Palin doesn't manage to ask a single question during the whole conversation. She's fully reactive -- starstruck by Sarkozy's call, but nevertheless incurious about anything he could possibly tell her. Meanwhile that's one seriously incompetent staff she's got. No one thought to call the French Embassy and check this out?
