    It's funny, but I don't think it's real. Or better yet, I hope it's not real.

    If it is not real, it is very realistically faked.

    I think the funniest part is when she says, "Pranksters from France" after they said they were from Montreal.

    I was amused by "from my house I can see Belgium". Especially since with the accent it sounds like "from my ass I can see Belgium".

    Sometimes it's not such a good idea to pretend you know what the conversation is about...

    This is real? Amazing. Never heard of a national politician getting embarrassed like this. Sex scandals, sure, but being pranked into thinking you were talking to a foreign leader by a radio station? Wow.

    Palin evens accepts interviews from fake news sources.

    Meanwhile, Obama tells his media followers to "get back on the bus".

    I wonder if she thought something was fishy. Those guys gave away a lot of clues...but maybe she never thought that a prank could actually get through to her.

    This version is slightly better -- every French and Canadian public official was not even close to the actual person holding the office.
