Prank phone call to Sarah Palin

The Masked Avengers, a comedy duo from Montreal, made a prank phone call to Sarah Palin on Saturday, November 1st. The guy pranking Palin pretended to be France's President Sarkozy. He asked her about "Canadian Prime Minister Stef Carse" (the Canadian Prime Minister is actually Stephen Harper) and she responded that Mr. Carse is "doing fine". The prankster then pushed his luck and asked her if "the Prime Minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois" (the current Premier of Quebec is actually Jean Charest) had been to any of her rallies. She responded that she hadn't seen him at any of her rallies but that it's been great working with Canadian officials. Which Canadian officials has she been working with if she doesn't know two of the biggest names in Canadian government?!

Go here for the complete text of the call, and go here to listen to the audio.
