If you have a team of people about you, and one of them puts a phone in your hand and says it's the French president, what are you going to do?

Could happen to anyone in that position, and although I don't like the woman, I don't think she should be thought any the less of for not realising.

Even with the "killing helpless animals from a helicopter" comment made in a really bad French accent?

Might not be acceptable in to Guardian readers in Surbiton I agree, but fairly standard for Alaska I suspect. 'Respect local customs' etc!

I don't think it was the fact she fell for it, more the fact she sounded like a complete spanner and was star struck.

?

She didn't bloody realise for nigh on 5 minutes despite a head of state saying things like, his wife is "so 'ot in bed" or "in France we call joe the plumber Marcel the man with bread under 'is armpit". etc

Wow, she sounds just as false as Hilary Clinton. Also sounded way out of her depth when she thought she was talking to the French president.

God help the world if that woman gets any where near the White house.

What I heard I now realise was a short edit, so I stand corrected

So, let's think, why didn't the Canadian team target Obama?

Is it coz he iz black? Untouchable, with everybody in the media and showbiz treading on eggshells around him.

Is it coz they iz the same old brand of trendy lefty funnyman feckwit?
Eddie Izzard with snow.


Also why didn't the people behind Palin just say they'd call back, or some other device...for each of Palin's naive responses once the call was underway, one backroom flunky needs sacking - she won't have picked up the phone herself and will, as already pointed out, have taken her team's word at face value.

At least they have some form of intelligence, clearly missing from the vapid Palin.

Unusually shallow.

Out of interest what's their relative IQ?

Because he's not a fking moron, perhaps?

Um no. Seen The Daily Show? They don't seem too shy to make fun of him, however, he's not as easy a target as Palin. Perhaps his racial origin is something you are putting there, in order to justify your defense of Palin.

Yes why? why? why? Perhaps an idiot is surrounded by more idiots. Doesn't really engender much confidence in a presidential administration really.

Hmmm looks like I really got the handwringer social justice brigade out of their box today. Woo hoo.

McCain and Palin stand for small government, low taxes, individual freedoms, energy security, and in general issues that are more critical than some half-baked schoolboy humour with partisan overtones that appeals to the politically deficient.

Any brand of leftism in charge anywhere in the world is a disaster, the left are clueless when in charge of anything more than a secondary picket.

As to your playing of the race card, pathetic. I mention his colour as it's relevant to the kid gloves treatment of the media who know which side of their politically correct bread is buttered with lawsuits. Do you have any particular personal interest in that aspect though?

And sure, Obama isn't a fking moron - he's a leftist moron. Far more dangerous.

Huge lot of assumptions there.

How do you know they didn't attempt to contact other candidates?
How do you know how the call got rooted to her?

All we know is how she handles calls and quite frankly the answer is badly.

The Queen a more experienced diplomat than Plain was far better in a similar situtation. Tony Blair rumbled twigged that a call from Hague was a fake immediately.
