US vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin fell victim to a prank phone call by a Canadian comedian posing as French president, Nicolas Sarkozy. Marc Antoine Audette convinced the Alaska governor she was speaking to Sarkozy during a six-minute chat aired on a Montreal radio programme.
The chat ranged from Sarkozy's beautiful wife, supermodel Carla Bruni, to the prospect of a joint hunting trip.
The Palin campaign says she was "mildly amused" by the prank.
At one point during the phone call, aired three days before the US election, Audette told Palin he could see her as president one day.
"Maybe in eight years," replied the Republican candidate laughingly.
Stirring environmentalists, Audette said he would be keen to join her on a helicopter hunting trip.
"I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun," he said in an exaggerated French accent.
"I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President Cheney."
In 2006, Cheney had shot and injured a hunting partner while quail-hunting in Texas.
Audette and fellow comedian Sebastien Trudel present a programme on the radio station CKOI Montreal.
Calling themselves the Masked Avengers, the duo have already duped Nicolas Sarkozy himself, former French President Jacques Chirac, and the music star Britney Spears with their prank calls.
