MONTREAL—Sarah Palin unwittingly took a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and telling her she would make a good president someday.
"Maybe in eight years," replied a laughing Palin.
The Republican vice presidential nominee discussed politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in a recording of the six-minute call released Saturday and set to air Monday on a Quebec radio station.

The Republican vice presidential nominee discussed politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, and Sarkozy's "beautiful wife," in a recording of the six-minute call released Saturday and set to air Monday on a Quebec radio station.
The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known as the Masked Avengers, the two are notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state.
Audette, posed as Sarkozy, spoke in an exaggerated French accent and dropped ample hints that the conversation was a joke. But Palin seemingly did not pick up on them.
He told Palin one of his favorite pastimes is hunting, also a passion of the 44-year-old Alaska governor.
"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," the fake Sarkozy said.
He proposed that they go hunting together by helicopter, something he said he has never done.

When Audette referred to Canadian singer Steph Carse as Canada's prime minister, Palin replied: "Well, he's doing fine and yeah, when you come into a position misunderestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder." Canada's prime minister is Stephen Harper.
The caller asked Palin if Joe the Plumber was her husband and added: "We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit."
As a Palin supporter all I can do is express my disappointment. She never takes my calls anymore, but she'll spend plenty of time talking to this guy just because he can do a cheezy French accent. The last time we spoke, she only said; "Who is this?" and hung up. The heavy breathing probably didn't help.
