Palin Pranked

Sarah Palin gets pranked by a comedy team from Montreal pretending to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Scariest things about the interview:

1. Palin laughs pleasantly when “Sarkozy” says he loves to kill little animals

2. Palin seems to think that there is an analogy between the American relationship with Russia and the French relationship with Belgium

3. Palin’s idea of bringing “energy” to politics is to involve supermodels; does she think that is the way to resolve the mortgage crisis?
