Sarah Palin's Tribute to the Turkey

Sarah Palin did what most govenors and the U.S. President do every year around this time - pardon a turkey. However, Sarah Palin put her own spin on this ceremony, that will go down in history as one of the most bizaar ever caught on tape. (Be warned if you are faint of heart: it is a bit graphic.)



So there you have it, one lucky turkey off to a petting zoo or some other comfy life, and two other not so lucky turkeys slaughtered right behind Sarah Palin as she cheerfully smiles and talks, and talks, and talks.

I have no delusion about where turkey dinners really come from - but when you are "staging" a pardon for a turkey, don't you think it would just be common sense that it was not the moment to also film the slaughter of other turkeys?

The other tidbit about this interview - the cameraman ASKED Palin about moving and told her what was behind her BEFORE they started the interveiw, but she said it was ok - so you can't even say she was unaware. (Reported by Rachel Maddow 11/20 and Morning Joe 11/21 and several other reliable news sources, so don't believe Palin's lies after the event when she heard how badly folks were taking the event - Palin decide to lie and blame the news crew for the scene.)

I find it so ironic - it's like a metaphor or an analogy for the whole Republican party - stage some big media event to look all warm, family friendly, and forgiving (i.e. pardon a turkey) - but in reality what is going on behind your back - grind up the constitution, human rights, our environment, integrity, and leave the American people a bloody mess and every one running around like a chicken with their head cut off, but the Republican officials (i.e. Palin) just smile and keep on talking pretty (believing no one will no notice the carnage they are really doing).
