So the verdict is in, and the Obama & Biden (Biden? Who's he?) dream team are in, with the biggest democratic vote % in, erm, lots and lots of years - 364 vs 162 electoral college votes, and 52.5% vs 46.2% of the popular vote. Whoop. But that's still no license to let Palin ride easy. After all, she may not be on the verge of presidency any more - well, not for 8 years or so, but she still is in control of something one imagines.

Let's laugh at her for a bit. A couple of comedians from Quebec managed to get on the phone to Ms Palin her very self, and using their best dodgy French accents made out that they were indeed President Sarkoz. He runs France, for any non-Europeans. Check it:

Hilarious. And not just because of how idiotic she sounds, but bear in mind that she thought this was the real Sarkozy. Therefore this is the exact style of chat and level of attention that she thinks is appropriate to speak to other heads of state with. Imagine the tough negotiations with Iran etc. that a near-presidency might bring, with her hockey-mum chattering and giggling through the affair. She also does herself no favours with regards to shutting up her detractors that claim she knows not a whole lot about foreign policy by not knowing that the various other name-checked top politicos are actually comedians and the like. Haha. Oh, and spot the French for lipstick and pig in there...

Lastly, to note, those interested in her life should probably not google for the "documentary" mentioned, Nailin' Palin. This of course, as you might guess from its publisher, a porno starring something approximating to her lookalike, with a convincing banter. If you really want to witness the comedy, here's a clip. It is only a polite, none-nakedry snippet, but nonetheless Not Safe For Work. Beware.
