Sarah Palin: A few months from possibly being President, she’s a prank call away from World War III
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s the Presidency of the United States - “normal folk” need not apply. Now enjoy a couple Canadian radio show hosts fool Sarah Palin and her staff into thinking Palin was talking to French President Sarkozy:
Remember, Palin could conceivably be the President of the United States in a matter of months. And you just know that Dick Cheney will be giving her prank calls pretending to be the President of Israel and that the U.S. needs to nuke Russia, Iran, Syria and France immediately.

Just… wow.
I never thought I’d miss the intelligence of Dan Quayle.

Yeah, she’s not out of her depth at all, eh?

One more example of the wonders that result from the confluence of arrogance (”well, of course the president of France would want to speak to *me*) & incompetence (”no, I wouldn’t expect any preparations to take place before a phone call from the president of France — I’m sure they always just pick up the phone & dial direct.”)
And don’t even get me started on the fact that even an exchange like the following didn’t tip her off (transcript excerpt from dailykos):
NS: I just want to be sure, I don’t’ quite understand the phenomenon “Joe the Plumber,” that’s not your husband, right?
SP: Mmhmm, that’s into my husband but he’s a normal American who just works hard and doesn’t want government to take his money.
NS: Yes, yes, I understand, we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France, it’s called, “Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit, oui.”
SP: Right. That’s what it’s all about, is the middle class, and government needing to work for them. You’re a very good example for us here.
…
NS: I must say, Governor Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life, you know, Hustler’s “Nailin Palin.”
SP: Oh, good, thank you. Yes.
NS: That was really edgy.
SP: [Laughs] Well good.
Of course, she was probably distracted by her efforts to plan for a victorious end to the war in Iran.

And the hits just a-keep on coming. Just read the following on BoingBoing:
Perhaps most damning of all: at the very end of the call, despite the prank caller identifying himself as phoning in from MONTREAL, Palin tells “Bexie” as she hands the phone back that it’s a “radio station from France.”
Of course, only a liberal terrorist communist Marxist Muslim atheist black guy would actually know what cities are really in (sniff!) France (double-sniff!).

What would be really funny now is if the actual President of France would call the Governor’s office and ask to speak to “I.P. Freeley”.
