A Canadian comedy duo notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state reached Sarah Palin, convincing the Republican vice presidential nominee that she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Palin and the pranksters, known as the Masked Avengers, discuss politics, pundits, and the perils of hunting with vice president Dick Cheney in the six-minute telephone interview released Saturday.
