Betsy: This is Betsy.
Masked Avenger: Hello Betsy.
Betsy: Hi.
Masked Avenger: Hi, this is uh, Frank l’ouvrier [Frank the Worker], uh, I’m with, uh, President Sarkozy, on the line for, uh Governor Palin.
Betsy: Yes, one second please. Can you hold on one second please?
Masked Avenger: Yeah, no problem.
Betsy: All right, thanks. Hi, I’m going to hand the phone over to her.
Masked Avenger: Okay, thank you very much. I’m going to put the president on the line.
Betsy to Palin: Okay, he’s coming to the line.
Palin: This is Sarah.
Masked Avenger: Uh, yeah. Governor Palin?
Palin: Hellooo!
Masked Avenger: Just, just hold on for President Sarkozy for one moment.
Palin to Betsy: Oh, it’s not him yet Betsy. I always do that.
Masked Avenger: Yes, yes, hello, Governor Palin?
Palin to Betsy: I’ll just have people hand it to me right when it’s them.
Sarkozy: Yes, hello, Mrs. Governor?
Palin: Hello, this is Sarah. How are you?
Masked Avenger: Fine, and you? This is, uh, Nicolas Sarkozy speaking. How are you?
Palin: Oh, so good. It’s so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.
Masked Avenger: Oh, it’s a pleasure.
Palin: Thank you sir. We have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you. And thank you for spending a few minutes to talk to… me.
Masked Avenger: I followed your campaigns closely with my special American advisor Johnny Hallyday (famous French singer), you know?
Palin: Yes, good.
Masked Avenger: Excellent. Are, are you confident?
Palin: Very confident and we’re thankful the polls are showing that the race is tightening, and…
Masked Avenger: Well, I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now my dear?
Palin: I feel so good. I feel like we are in, uh, a marathon, and at the very end of the marathon you get your second wind, and you plow through the finish line…
Masked Avenger: Say, I got elected in France because I’m real, and you seem to be someone who’s real as well.
Palin: Yes, yeah. Nicolas, we so appreciate this opportunity…
Masked Avenger: You know, I see you as a president. One day, you too.
Palin: [Giggles] Maybe in eight years.
Masked Avenger: Well, I uh, hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common, because personally one of my favorite activities is to hunt, too.
Palin: Oh! Very good. We should go hunting together.
Masked Avenger: Exactly. We could go try hunting by helicopter like uh, you did. I never did that. [Palin giggles]. Like we say in France “on pourrait tuer des bébés phoques aussi” [Translation: We could also kill some baby seals.]
Palin: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together as we’re gettin’ work done. We can, we can kill two birds with one stone that way.
Masked Avenger: I just love killing those animals. Mm, mm. Take away a life – that is so fun! [Palin laughs] I’d really love to go, as long as we don’t bring Vice President Cheney [Masked Avenger laughs].
Palin: No, I’ll be a careful shot. Yes.
Masked Avenger: Yes. You know, we have a lot in common also because, except that from my house I can see Belgium. That’s kind of less interesting than you.
Palin: Well, see, we’re right next door to other countries that we all need to be working with, yes.
Masked Avenger: Some people said in the last days, and I uh, thought that was mean, that you weren’t experienced enough in foreign relations. And you know, that’s completely false. That’s the, uh, thing I said to my great friend, the Prime Minister of Canada, Stef Carse. [Stephen Harper is the PM and Stef Carse is famous Canadian singer].
Palin: Well, he’s doin’ fine too. And yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder —
Masked Avenger: I, I was wondering, because you are also next to him, one of my good friends also, the Prime Minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois [a famous Quebec radio host], have you met him, um, recently? Uh, did he come to one of your rallies?
Palin: Uh, I haven’t seen him at one of the rallies, but it’s been great working with the Canadian officials in my role as governor. We have a great cooperative, uh, effort there, as we work on all of our resource development projects. You know I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally, and your beautiful wife. Oh my goodness! You added a lot of energy to your country, then, with um, with that beautiful family of yours.
Masked Avenger: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you. Uh, you know, even though she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today [Masked Avenger laughs].
Palin: [Laughs] Well give her a big hug for me.
Masked Avenger: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former hot top model. And she’s so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
Palin: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that.
Masked Avenger: Yes, in French it’s called “Du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne” [Translation: Lipstick for a sow literally (but not properly) but it actually means an uninhibited girl] , or if you prefer in English, “Joe the Plumber.” [Masked Avenger singing] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber…
Palin: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism, but I betcha she is such a hard worker too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism…
Masked Avenger: I, I just want to be sure, I don’t quite understand the, the phenomenon, Joe the Plumber. That’s, that’s not your husband, right?
Palin: That’s not my husband, but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.
Masked Avenger: Yes, yes I understand. We have, uh, the equivalent of their Joe the Plumber in France. It’s called “Marcel the Guy with Bread Under His Armpit”. Oui.
Palin: Right. That’s what it’s all about. It’s the middle class and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.
Masked Avenger: Uh, I seen a bit, uh, about NBC, even Fox News, wasn’t an elly, an ally, sorry, about as much as usual.
Palin: Yeah, that’s what we’re up against.
Masked Avenger: I must say Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know uh, Hustler’s Nailin’ Palin?
Palin: Oh, good. Thank you. Yes.
Masked Avenger: That was really edgy.
Palin: [Laughs] Well, good.
Masked Avenger: I really loved you. And I, I must say something also, Governor. Uh, you’ve been pranked — by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.
Palin: Ooohh. Have we been pranked? And, what radio station is this?
Masked Avenger: This is for CKOI in Montreal.
Palin: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.
Masked Avenger: CK… Hello? If one voice can change the world for Obama, then one Viagra can change the race for Mccain.
Palin Aide: Hi. Im sorry, uh… I’m sorry, I have to let you go. Thank you
