Two Canadian comics fooled Sarah Palin by calling her up and imitating Nicolas Sarkozy, the Canadian Press reports. During the 6-minute chat, Palin gushed about her respect for the French president, and listened as wife Carla Bruni was described as "hot in bed." Finally, comedian Marc-Antoine Audette came clean. "Ohhhh," Palin said. "Have we been pranked?"

Audette, half of a Quebecois comedy team, dropped clues along the way, such as:

Referring to French actor/singer Johnny Hallyday as Sarkozy's special adviser to the US.
Inviting Palin on a hunting trip because "I just love killing those animals."
Calling the Hustler Nailin' Paylin video "the documentary they made on your life."

Palin's team later said she was "mildly amused" by the call. Said Audette: "I hope we won't have a one-way ticket to Guantanamo Bay." (More Election 2008 stories.)
