Sarah Palin Received Prank Call From ‘President Sarkozy’ And Had Not A Clue

From  the Huffington Post

The AP reports that a Quebec comedy duo, posing as French President Sarkozy, have successfully prank called Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin has unwittingly taken a prank call from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy and told him she make a good president in eight years. The Republican vice presidential nominee discussed politics, the perils of hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney and Sarkozy’s “beautiful wife”, in the telephone call released Saturday.

When the caller told Palin she would make a good president, she laughed and replied: “Maybe in eight years.”

Not only has the dear lady answered the phone as ‘Sarah’ instead as Governor [Sarah] Palin [did the idea that the 'French President' was calling her went straight to her head that she forgot about protocol?] but she actually agreed with the imposter during the phone exchange on a possible hunting trip, that killing animals and taking away a life, is so fun!

Good grief!

Boycotting Of Olympic Opening Ceremony Gaining Momentum

As China continued its crackdown on the recent unrest in its Chinese province of Tibet where at least 22 people have been killed so far, the Belgium government today have hinted at the possibility of boycotting the Beijing Games if the situation in Tibet worsened. The suggestion came a day after French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday spoke on the likelihood of boycotting the opening ceremony.

As the world continue to keep its eyes on China and Tibet, reports are that there is a move afoot to punish China for its handling of the violence in Tibet with the suggestion that VIPs boycott the opening ceremony of the games in August.

This is in stark contrast to the decision taken by the European Union and Olympic committees who held talks on Monday opposing such a move. “Under no circumstance, will we support the boycott. We are 100% unanimous.” Patrick Hickery the head of the European Olympic committees said in an interview. “A boycott is only a punishment of the athletes.” Australian Olympic committee President John Coakes endorsed the claim that boycotting  would achieve nothing except disadvantaging the athletes.

Economic relations between the 27- nation EU and China are moving closer all the time. Bilateral trade double between 2000 and 2005 and reached 370b in 2006. Europe is China’s largest export market and China is Europe’s prime source of imports.
