Sarah Palin pardons turkey, while others are being slaughtered, on camera, behind her

11/20/2008 09:34:00 PM ET

She just gave an entire press conference for five minutes in front of a guy killing turkeys on camera. Oh my God, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I know it's sick, but she's such a blithering idiot. At one point, oblivious to the fact that some guy is killing turkeys on camera ten feet behind her, she says "we'll probably invite criticism for doing this!" This is a Saturday Night Live skit, with nothing extra needed.

I don't get it. What's the big deal?

Are all interviews supposed to be done with a bookcase behind the interviewee?

[Panic]

That was some of the funniest shit I have ever seen. The guy in the back is classic. He keeps looking at the camera, holding the birds legs.

[mathdotcom]

It would've been better and more appropriate if she were talking about what should be done about the Big Three.

a friend of mine just called from leavenworth, he said michael vick really liked the video

Okay now that's not Dan's posting style. Neither in terms of grammar nor style nor spirit.

What is going on here? Three minutes ago Dan was getting behind every bit of Republican spin out there. He should be presenting some crazy defence of Palin here.

Has someone hacked Dan's password?

[MastaB]

Haha thats funny. Why are they blurring the turkey out sometimes?

She always sounds so whinny! I want to SMACK HER!

He prob realized she was a joke!

This would be like Lincoln announcing the Emancipation Proclamation while a slave sale was going on behind him.

What a dumb bitch.

[thezbar]

Its a bad time of the year to be a turkey!

[mathdotcom]

The Emancipation Proclamation was just a tad bit more serious than Palin's discussion of resting after an election and what she's thankful for.

Yeah. Im not sure I would equate the bondage of human slavery with animal slaughter...

[Deuce]

I fail to see a problem.

[Beat up the book]

Very funny.
She's in charge of the turkey all right.

[mathdotcom]

Agreed. I don't see why this is funny, or why Palin is an idiot?

She's on a turkey farm, and turkeys are being slaughtered before Thanksgiving. Do Democrats think turkeys are manufactured by the Big Three or something?

[daggerkobe]

Look up the meaning of irony and you'll understand.

Kinda like hanging a giant banner declaring an end to a war and it still raging 5 years later with thousands more US soldiers killed since the "end."

[mathdotcom]

Where is the irony?

She lost an election so it's like she's being slaughtered?

Sorry, please explain.

[jjgold]

That guy in backround looks like Deuce...LOL

Palin is a fukkin idiot

[daggerkobe]

Alanis Morrisette wrote a song about it.

It's self explanatory. Try YouTube.

[MartinBlank]

As a republican who voted for Obama, I shudder at the very thought of this hillbilly being the future of my once-great party.

How the fook was she chosen to be McCain's VP is beyond me.

I hope GOP candidates keep listening to morons like Bill Kristol and watch this party dissolve.

Palin is chosen, while guys like Tom Ridge are "too risky" for the GOP base. Fook me with a chainsaw.

[Mudcat]

She is good for some comedy, no doubt about that. Comics everywhere couldn't help but feel a bit of regret as she rode off into the sunset.

But it's good she is finding ways to keep providing material. I gotta think the Daily Show will have something good on this on Monday.

They need to find some kind of permanent special position for her - with no actual power obviously - (but don't tell her that) - so she can give us these periodic set-ups.

Basically just appoint her Mascot-For-Life.

[Boner_18]

It's called media sensationalism. I don't think anyone wrote a song about it but it is understandable nonetheless.

And yes pardoning a turkey, then doing an interview in front of a guy slaughtering turkeys is irony worth a chuckle... but it is also media sensationalism... I mean really, is this news?
