“Maybe in eight years,” replies a laughing Palin.

The Republican vice presidential nominee discusses party 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.

Palin campaign spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt confirmed she had current the prank call.

“Governor Palin was mildly amused to learn that she had joined the ranks of heads of state, including President Sarkozy and other celebrities, in centre of life targeted by these pranksters. C’est la vie,” she said.

The call was made by a well-known Montreal comedy duo Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel. Known at the same time that the Masked Avengers, the two are evident for gambol calls to celebrities and heads of state.

Audette, posing as Sarkozy, speaks in an exaggerated French accent and drops exuberant hints that the parley is a quip. But Palin seemingly does not pick up upon them.

He tells 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 such fun,” the fake Sarkozy says.

He proposes they begone hunting together by helicopter, something he says he has not ever bestowed.

“Well, I think we could have a lot of fun in concert while we’re getting work done,” Palin counters. “We can give one his quietus two birds with individual stone that way.”

The comedian jokes that they shouldn’t bring Cheney along on the pursuit, referring to the 2006 incident in which the vice-president shot and injured a dear companion while hunting quail.
