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?

It's images like those that make me happy to be a vegetarian.

Factory farm.... an apt metaphor for America.

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.

[baradiel]

But biden is the smart one... right.

[Archemedes]

Considerably more intelligent than Palin, clearly.

[starcasmdotnet]

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?

[TongvaBear]

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

[baradiel]

So murdering humans is fine with you, but not animals, GOT IT!

[furiousMB]

oh my goodness are you ignorant.

[Raleigh Dave]

When all else fails, play the abortion trump card.

Didn't Sarah say we want government to get out of the way so people can go on with their lives. Why does that right to privacy never apply to the Christian Right.

[baradiel]

Sure it does. We do want people to go on with their lives. That includes children in the womb.

Just goes to show you how hypocritical libs are. The only lives you don't value are those of the unborn.

[jseaton]

Yes.

[Archemedes]

I think the point of this whole piece is that only Palin seems to be stupid enough to be standing in front of this thing. I seriously doubt Obama would be stupid enough to be giving an interview at an abortion clinic. Perhaps that sublty escaped you?

[ReallyMe]

Unbelievable that that needed to be explained but... you did a gentler job of it than I would.

[vdub4]

LMAO!!! Classic Palin...coffee in hand, clueless...And OF COURSE she blames the cameraman...it's that crazy GOTCHA journalism...sigh. Oh, Sarah...open your eyes once in a while and pay attention to the world around you. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the laughter this lady provides the country. Excuse me now, I have to go say a prayer for that last turkey and throw up. LOL...

[stayinsouth1981]

RIght right.. I found them. HILARIOUS. I have a French and Saudners series but never saw these skits. I can't wait till Clatterford or Jam comes out with the second season... I CAN"T GET ENOUGH....

[baradiel]

So, how many of you are Pro Choice?

[vdub4]

I believe life starts in the yolk. ;)

[airhead-not]

She is such a comic relief in these depressing times.
