Warning: Turkeys were harmed in the making of this film. Cut to around 2:00 unless you need to hear what she has to say. Hey, is that Michael Moore slaughtering that bird?

Fun? Killing turkeys? What have I been missing out on? Nothing like fresh giblets to take away the pains of politickin’!
Every time I see her on TV I keep expecting a knight in armor to walk in from the side and conk her on the head with a plucked chicken.
holy s**t!
“Found by Paddy-O”
Really? Never saw it before.
[OOPS my bad – ed.]
lol i saw it on olbermann last night. micheal moore? really? do you even know what he looks like?
As God is my witness, I thought Turkeys could fly.
So that’s how the turkey get kill.. hmm.. Who’s that creepy lady that keep talking.
That was almost a perfect Monty Python routine!
All that was left would have been a squirtin’ turkey running around with no head.

I’ve actually seen that before. Pretty cool.
It drives me crazy how good looking she is, even as turkeys are being killed in the background!
This video is funny but I can’t be too grossed out by it. I’ll eat a turkey this Thanksgiving and it came from somewhere!
Can’t anyone go to a turkey farm and just buy a live turkey??? So really she didn’t pardon this bird at all, did she? The bird pardoning is just a cheap political ploy to appease people who hate thanksgiving, and thus America.

If old sarcastic chicks is your thing, then yes she is hot. She is a replica of my aunt from North Dakota as I remember her when I stayed with her for a month many decades ago. So to me she is somewhere between my mom and my sister in sex appeal…
In an Ironic twist, my Aunt was Miss North Dakota back in the 60’s…
Palin Pardons Thanksgiving Turkey and Rambles on about something
Hey, it’s an improvement. She usually rambles on about nothing.

Old is relative! I think she is about my age — I was in college the same time she was, anyway. Her age makes her all the more attractive to me. I’m not that into young women anymore (Lucky for me, I guess! At my age, it’s creepy if you are. )
As for the sarcasm — it’s just her looks that I like. I think her politics stink, too. I’m divided on the accent — I like her regular conversational voice but when she talks to an audience, her voice is like a concrete radial saw! (Hillary Clinton is like that, too.)
BTW, can you introduce me to your aunt?
(just kidding. I’m happily married.)
WTF was she talking about through most of that? They should have interviewed a turkey. The turkey would have made more sense.
JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST!! This stupid woman’s 15 minutes are UP!! STOP giving her any more attention!! She has already inadvertantly proclaimed her idiocy to the world and made the Republican party into a joke, her job is done! Back to obscurity with you, Ms. Palin, and good riddance!!
Hmmm, did anyone else notice that the rural Minnesota accent she adapted for the campaign is gone?
The mass media is so ignorant that they don’t realize the American public is not laughing with the media, they are laughing at the media.
TURKEYS DIE AS GOVERNOR PALIN TAKES QUESTIONS FROM MEDIA
GOV. SARAH KEEPS TALKING WHILE TURKEYS GET SLAUGHTERED BEHIND HER
GOV. PALIN APPARENTLY OBLIVIOUS TO TURKEY CARNAGE OVER HER SHOULDER
What did they expect her to do? Intervene?
The LA Times sobbed about two helpless turkeys being slaughtered alive. (are they supposed to be slaughtered dead?)
And the NY Times lamented the execution of the turkeys.
The Mass Media are the idiots.
“There are so many great Americans who are desiring that their government just get out of the way and allow them to grow and progress“???!!???
Holy shit! Sarah Palin SUPPORTING GAY MARRIAGE!!!!!!!!! Who’da thunk???
That woman can use more words to say nothing at all than anyone else on God’s green earth. I wonder if they give a prize for that. She’s got a lock on it.
I never thought I’d say this, but I actually kinda think Palin was right doing a thanksgiving day interview with turkey’s being slaughtered in the background. As witnessed by some of the ridiculous headlines about the whole thing, it really is time that people pull their heads out of the sand and recognize that killing and eating animals is not a big deal, in fact, it is a normal part of human life and has been for a very long time.
We are living in a dulusional world where people don’t even know where their turkey or beef or pork comes from and it shows in a lot of the ignorant and stupid way people deal with animals: one group, like PETA and their ilk, just want to cuddle polar bears while banning farming, pets, hunting and fishing while others seem to think its okay to lock animals in tiny boxes and force feed them all day.
What is wrong with the world! Don’t people even know what an animal is anymore?
It really annoys me that people make such a big deal about seeing animals being slaughtered when it really is just a normal part of life and always has been.
I couldn’t work up the interest to watch the flick. I keep saying this but you don’t listen. The election is over and only the obsessed are now interested.
The other people posting don’t seem to have cared much either other than as a chance to be goofy.
Hey, I did read the posts.
I’ve killed and dressed critters before. I wouldn’t freak out because I thought meat was grown in a vat or something.
On the other hand killing critters is not any fun for me so I leave this stuff to those that enjoy it and the luny fringe in politics.
I know you had nothing to do with this post.. but thanx John
Hard to soar like an eagle when you’re working with turkeys.
That’s just fowl.
Maybe she had been told that US foreign policy said get closer to turkey?
That Turkey is a country not a bird or continent.
Proving yet again, that “turkeys” can’t fly. And she should know. Most of her off-the-cuff comments, met a similar fate, in the lower 48. They never flew, and she had her head handed to her. Her and McCain might have actually won, if she didn’t sound so much like that sheriff in “Fargo”. Is there something about the proximity to western Canada, that forces one to sound like they lived on another planet? Or is it just a Palin family trait, eh?
The backdrop has nothing to do with anything. It could have squirrels being skinned, mothers with legs in stirrups having babies, soldiers taking their last breath.
Pallin would still be self-obsessed or it might be the caffeine.
Yeah. Now that Oil has fallen below $50 a barrel, I guess Alaska might need a bailout. Eh?
She’ll be in charge of the turkey, like she thought she’d be in charge of the US Senate.
Ironically, if she had won, we’d probably hear less from her. You rarely heard from Al Gore or Dick Cheney while in office.
So she’s the “off with their heads”, Queen of Hearts of Wonderland, Alaska? Her and her pasteboard republican guard, no doubt.
Now, on Thanksgiving Day, when we reflect on things we’re thankful for in these times of financial meltdown, record unemployment, etc., at least we can be thankful that we won’t have to look forward to Ms. Palin holding ANY position in Washington. At least not this time around.
The only reason I watched the whole video is that I was sure she was the next turkey in line.
Didn’t happen, Oh well.
“You need a little bit of levity in this job.”
the fact that she was elected governor of an American state, and was the nominee of a major party for Vice President proves there is a LOT of levity in politics.
if she is going to get anywhere in the GOP she needs to learn image-making. there really should have been a backdrop with the message du jour printed on it. that way the turkeys would be slaughtered behind a posterboard wall that said ‘Saving Turkeys’ over and over and over.
