A Sarah Palin happy-go-lucky interview, in the face of death….

Friday, November 21st, 2008

I found this on Huffington Post. I feel the need to quote, instead of just adding the video.

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.

On the topic of dead turkeys (and moose), here’s another video that I found here tonight, which I assume is meant to be pro-Palin, although it almost seems like a parody. Let me quote Huffington Post (in part) again:

From the department of awkward timing: Days after video of Sarah Palin’s interview in front of slaughtered turkeys became a web sensation, the conservative group Our Country Deserves Better releases a Thanksgiving-themed ad “thanking” Palin.

The opening of the spot features an announcer praising Palin…in front of images of roasted turkeys.

Take a look:

What’s up with Sarah Palin and dead turkeys? Is that the new symbol of the GOP?
