You'd be right to point out that American Thanksgiving is coming up this weekend anyways - so in that sense, perhaps Sarah Palin is giving us all insight into cruelty towards animals in America. Or perhaps she's showing us that nothing goes with the slaughter of a turkey better than the new Starbucks Mocha Ginger Frappaccino. I guess we may never know.
No matter how you cut it though, the look on the turkey farmers' face kind of says is all. "Are you actually filming this?" And the timing is almost impeccable, the synchronization with which she finishes her first answer and he finishes with the bird is almost way too good.
On the other hand, you have to give Palin a whole lot of credit. Any Governor can show up at a Turkey Pardoning (a traditional activity in the US) but it takes a media GENIUS to turn it into an international fiasco.
If anyone is wondering where they've seen this before, FFW to 4:28 in the below video. It may jog your memory...

ummmm what the hell was that guy even doing to the turkey? to my uneducated in turkey slaughtering eye, it looked like he was just fucking with it, stuffing him upside down into a funnel to see how long he could last before spazzing and then the dude would look at the camera and nod with a laugh. If that's how they kill them, they may need to work on their efficiency. don't get me wrong though that guy was a beaut.
I'd stuff Palin over a turkey any day.
