Sarah Palin Turkey Incident: Does TV Interview While Turkeys Are Slaughtered In The Background (VIDEO)

Some videos you just have to see to believe. On Thursday, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin appeared in Wasilla in order to pardon a local turkey in anticipation of Thanksgiving. This proved to be a slightly absurd but ultimately unremarkable event. But what came next was positively surreal. After the pardon Palin proceeded to do an interview with a local TV station while the turkeys were being SLAUGHTERED in the background!! Seemingly oblivious to the gruesomeness going on over her shoulder, she carries on talking for over three minutes. Watch the video below to see for yourself. Be warned, it's kind of gruesome.

Watch the video.

What a bunch of liberal, city twits. Did you think that turkey sandwiches grew on trees? You're all so disconnect­ed from reality it's amazing. The shock and horror that a turkey is killed so we can eat it.

As part of the tradition during the celebratio­n of thanksgivi­ng season some politician­s are pardoning a live turkey. Sarah Palin has evidently been busy over the Thanksgivi­ng Holiday, cementing her public relations status by performing her solemn duty as Governor of the State of Alaska. That is, she pardoned a turkey from turkey slaughter for the holidays. She decided that one bird should receive the benefit of a permanent stay of execution (she couldn’t give the poor thing a cash advance to go with it?) and kept it off the chopping block. Why just that one bird? Why not pardon its brothers and sisters from its hatching? Regardless­, Palin delivered a moving oration in defense of the rescued bird, whilst another one met its demise in the background­. It almost begs the question of whose neck is next? It seems tacky, to say the least, to pardon one bird and speak on its behalf whilst its relatives get slaughtere­d within earshot. Is this what we are to expect when she is supposed to run for President in 2012? She may endeavor to save Joe Sixpack, but what about Tom Turkey? He may have to get a fast cash advance for a suit of armor. Click to read more on a Cash Advance

Why is the media not asking about Palin's NAR/Third Wave connection­s?

Yesterday someone posted an article called "Quotable: Sarah Palin's Top 10 Bloopers" on http://pol­iticalnews­connection­.com/ . I got such a good laugh from it that I had to pass it on.

There might be a few more of these interviews on her itinerary as she heads back to the States this week.

So, if that was obama at an abortion clinic with children getting their brains sucked out in the background­, would you all still be laughing?

I would, if it were your brain being sucked out. Then again, what is there to suck out?......­sawdust!
