		<description>&lt;p&gt;No incident?  WTF????&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quebec DOES NOT have a PM, they tried to get one by seceding from Canada, but failed and would have failed miserably if they actually left Canada.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don’t have a PM–Canada does. [&lt;em&gt;Edited by moderator to remove personal comment&lt;/em&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If she had been talking to the President of France, a NATO member, she had no expectation that national security would not be discussed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bullshit. She’s a candidate, not the VP.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Perhaps this also reveals the complete disconnect with McCain’s campaign. Sarah appears to be just hanging out, enjoying her celebrity status. She’s waiting for Eric Bana (one of Jane’s favorites) and the President of France calls. As much as Sarah would like it to be otherwise, the President of France does not just pick up the phone and call a V.P. candidate. There are tightly negotiated protocalls, agendas, and above all talking points about any public disclosure that may or may not happen. She has no effing clue. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If anything those guys did her a favor by taping it. Getting on the phone with anyone exposes a political leader to many forms of blackmail. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sarah apparently had no idea when she took the call, whether she was speaking over a secure phone line. If she had been talking to the President of France, a NATO member, she had no expectation that national security would not be discussed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Lindsey, thanks for explaining this so quickly. I first heard about it on Ian’s thread. I watched the youtube, but your post helps flesh out the context. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IMHO, what really demonstrates Palin’s unfitness is how two radio guys got the GOP V.P. candidate on the phone. Evidently Sarah has surrounded herself with people even less qualified than she.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Dugg, thanks for the link.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think Sarah is headed for reality teevee, where she belongs. In the future, I think her own party will primary her out of politics with all this.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Premier Ministre is what I use.  Often, french speakers will say prime minister of Québec, and no international incident has ever occured.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Quebec has a premier. His title in French is “premier ministre”, but the English translation of that is “premier”–even on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gouv.qc.ca/portail/quebec/pgs/commun/?lang=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Quebec’s official website&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be an international incident if the real Sarkozy referred to Charest was the “prime minister of Quebec” in English! &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hi lindsey,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is big on these québécois airwaves.  Contrary to your belief, Québec has a prime minister, his name is Charest, and low and behold, he’s a fascist, like our canadian PM, Harper.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
