Next Palin "Gaffe" Left Will Detonate Over

After pardoning a turkey, Palin gives an apparently impromptu interview as other turkeys are slaughtered in the background.

I'm sure this means something, as Andrew Sullivan will soon be informing us. Perhaps David Brooks will write a column about how Ivy Leaguers are too sophisticated to be photographed anywhere near a working farm. Not sure.

Thanks to DrewM.

6 I've seen a few liberals express shock at how 'oblivious' she is to what's going on behind her.  For crying out loud, Palin kills large animals and then cuts them up with a knife.  I don't think some turkey killin' is going to faze her all that much.

7 Mmmm, turkey. This clip just made me start dreaming about my feast beast and all of the lovely ways I'm going to season it. Diced shallots mixed with butter and herbs stuffed between the skin and the meat. Apples, onions, lemons, and oranges stuffed in the cavity.

Is it Thanksgiving yet?

In liberal land the millions of turkeys consumed over Thanksgiving (and the rest of the year) all die of old age.

11 I can't for the life of me figure out why this is a gaffe.

There were multiple cameras at this event and there is other video out there that shows that the intended backdrop was the chicken coop, not the decapitation cones.

Palin did nothing wrong here.

This is a faux controversy drummed up by the goons at MSNBC.

You realize they will do this again at Xmas time, don't you? It'll be a faux-controversy over the Palin carbon-footprint because of too many Xmas lights or the use of some vaguely religious symbol or failure to acknowledge other faiths, or maybe she didn't buy Piper a PTA-approved gift.

For gawdsakes, though, I wish Palin would hire herself a world class communications director/press secretary who could jump on television to defend her from this crap.

And, by gawd, she needs a to set-up a website and to start working with the conservative blogosphere yesterday.

They weren't slaughtering turkeys just over SarahCuda's left shoulder. Ah ... that's a turkey pedicure and spa treatment center to keep the birds looking good while they wait for thanksgiving. Yeah. Notice the red mud bath just beneath those cone shaped turkey stratoloungers. The Turkeys look forward to their daily spa teament here in Alaska.

Fekkin lefties would starve if left on their own to put food on the table. What the fek do you think happens at a processing plant. Seriously!

19 It seems that the country is divided between those who have guns and those who don't.  Between those who accept the violence necessary to maintain a country, put food on a plate, and protect a family and those who would join hands, put their heads in the sand and pretend that all is harmoney.

Between us and them, basically.

Given that,  I have only one question.

What the hell are we waiting for?


Posted by: Kasper Hauser at November 21, 2008 03:17 PM (ZPwZl)

20 What spices do you add?

I'll probably put some salt, pepper and garlic in the butter and shallot paste. The cavity usually gets fresh rosemary, thyme and sage. I might try some fresh basil in the butter paste if I have any left over from the tomato soup I'm making earlier in the week.

What about you?  What's your position on stuffing? Yea or nay?

Used to stuff the bird all the time, but past couple of years I haven't as there are too few people now and we can't eat most of it, and my niece who lives with me hates stuffing. The apples, oranges, lemon and onions sounds good though so I think I will give it a try.

Oh we have thanksgiving just at a different time of the year. Roast turkey is one of my favourites so I don't need much of an excuse to cook one. My niece asked for one for her birthday so that's what are doing next week.

Pumpkin pie, cooked turnip(vile), cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, and olives (visiting friend request).

I like raw turnip but cannot stand it cooked. My niece loves it cooked as it reminds her of her grampa who also loved it.

I don't make my own cranberry sauce. Usually I just buy some whole berry sauce. Love cranberries though. Maybe I should try that this time. Of course my niece hates cranberry sauce as well. I swear teenage girls are the pickiest most brainless creatures in existence. Sadly she is the more sensible one among her friends. Lots of arguments in her class about politics.

43 Thanksgiving will be a celebration of the life and death of our turkey . I was fortunate enough to be an active participant in his last moments.
I called him up on a beautiful spring morning in a river swamp in S. Carolina. And then , with joy in my heart , I shot him with my 12 gauge Remington . Perhaps lefties can take some consolation in the knowledge that his last thoughts  were probably about the hen that had been talking to him for the last half hour.

Travis,

I know. The subject doesn' t frame the shot. The photographer does. A professional shoots the best shot possible, not matter the circumstances. Even if there was a crowd of photogs shooting Palin and leaving him no other spot to shoot from, the guy could have tightened up to lose the "turkey slaughter" behind her.

He didn't. In fact, he intentionally included it into the frame to make her look bad.

The unprofessional idiot isn't Palin. It's the photographer.

51 I thought it was fantastic. And the fact that many, many Americans might be bothered by this bothered by this, says we're way past due for a Great Depression or some similar correction.

My goal next year is to eat nothing I didn't raise or kill myself. I got the "raise" part down pretty good already (except for rice or bread.) Just gotta start killing more. At least more warm-blooded things. I got fish up to the gills, so to speak.

On the other hand, everything I eat that's been killed has at least been raised and killed by a neighbor (don't buy meat at the store, anymore.)

55 This is the best cranberry sauce on earth:

1 C. sugar
1 C water
16 oz. cranberries
1 C. chopped apple
1 C. chopped walnuts
1/2 C. raisins
1/4 C. grand marnier
1/2 an orange juiced
1/2 a lemon juiced
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg

Combine the sugar and water, bring to boil. Add cranberries and return to boil, then lower heat so the liquid simmers. Add apples, nuts, raisins, grd marnier, orange and lemon juices, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook for 10-15 minutes.

This is Tammy Bruce's recipe and it tastes like pie filling without the nasty crust. Sooo good. I'm a low-carber and make this with splenda. I sometimes zest the lemon and orange and add that too. This year I'm thinking about adding fresh ginger.

56 "Is that Palin's way of saying, "Fuck you?" "

I don't actually think Palin has a way of saying that.

But I also don't think she sees this as any kind of a faux pas. I'm sure her response to any criticism is/would be, "The man's making an honest living selling turkeys. Would you rather buy them alive and kill them yourselves?"

Who are the people who have a grasp of reality here, and who are the clueless, ignorant dunces?

60 This is one of those few times when I have to credit vegetarians for their moral consistency, and wonder WTF the rest are thinking.  I mean really - any meat-eater that calls this "slaughter" is woefully unaware of their food chain.  I was actually impressed watching this - these turkeys were treated fairly well and live in decent conditions compared to many operations, and the turkey cones are as humane a way of dispatching the bird as anything else.  Perhaps it's just me, but I'd prefer that more Americans had this sort of experience and actually understood where their food comes from and what it entailed - don't outsource the messy parts of the job and then complain that they still exist.

Posted by: Alchemist17 at November 21, 2008 04:57 PM (ZQpls)

61 The reporters set this up.  You can tell from the question she asks about what programs will be next "on the chopping block".

If Biden and Obama were vegetarians, maybe I'd understand the controversy here.  But since most of the people feigning outrage and disgust here are going to be eating turkey next Thursday, well, where exactly do they think it came from?

Damn. I was going to ask for a steak tree for Christmas. You had me all excited, for a second.

On the other hand, I know where my food comes from. While I wasn't raised on a farm, my pap was. And I saw many a chicken (as well as ducks, geese, pheasants and I believe some grouse and chukars) lose its head to the axe man, then plucked, cleaned and either sent to the freezer, the reefer, or straight to the stove. And plenty of stories about butchering hogs, cattle and sheep.

OK......

I like and admire Gov Palin for who she is and what she might someday become.

Turkey is yummy in all its forms, and for every turkey eaten, someone somewhere has to pull the trigger on the noble beast.

Palin is a woman of the land, half of her appeal is her common-ness and connection to average folks in cities towns and farms across the land.

She is not Ivy League or Manhattan or Wall Street. She is Main Street USA, and not worried about the fact that if we want to eat meat, animals have to be killed.

Granted, accepted, stipulated, fully understood.

However, knowing how much the press are out to get her, staging this standup right in front of the dude thats taking care of Thanksgiving business was exceptionally bad press advance, imho.

Its tone deaf, and she has once again needlessly handed the press a club to beat her with, fairly or not.

If her staff knew about this visual and didnt care, then they are incompetent rubes who need to lose their jobs.

If they didnt know or understand that you prolly shouldnt do an interview 10 feet away from where a dude is bleeding out turkeys, then they are incompetent rubes who need to lose their jobs.  

I am as contemptuous of the MSM as anyone. But handing the press...who already hate her...a fresh reason to (fairly or not) paint her as some kind of freak, is both needlessly damaging and 100% avoidable.

Gov. Sarah needs press/organization that knows wtf it is doing if she hopes to get back to and win in the Big Leagues again. Doing an interview with a turkey slaughter in the background is not exactly a smart thing to do.

80 This reminds me of that San Fransisco community which had a ballot initiative to name the local sewage treatment facility after GW Bush.  I believe that Bush would be proud to have his name associated with such a facility.  Noble work, taking the effluent of society and through filtration and liquid biotreatment, rendering it harmless to the environment.

Farmers, Plumbers, Construction Workers, Auto Mechanics, Sewage Treatment Plant Operators, Turkey Slaughterers, etc....
This is what makes our country work, much to the chagrin of the leftists bothered by the Palin Turkey Murdering Video.

Dude, you couldn't be more wrong.
Trying to please those who would be offended by this video is what got us all in this mess.
More Conservative, Less RINO, please.

82 mike d -- right on.

IMO, the most important event that will decide whether Palin makes it to the white house in the future will happen in the next six months: the John Sears/James Baker/Karl Rove equivalent who gets hired to manage Palin's political affairs and systematically rebuild her public image, and completely overhaul her staffing (including core gubernatorial staff). Her existing staff are hapless.

83 I propose all the turkeys upset because turkeys have to die for someone to eat Thanksgiving dinner forego eating any Turkey on Thanksgiving.

84 Yeah I am hearing the Alaskan Radio right now.... One of her handlers was heard saying that you guys should send this clip to leno.

The staffers didn't alert the Governor of her backgrounds

At the time she was asked if she wanted to be interview at that spot... At the time apparently no turkey killing was occurring. So Palin said no worries....

Fire her handlers before she can't be recovered!!!!

85 Pandering to the MSM isn't going to get conservatives anywhere. It will work the same sort of magic that it did for McCain. McCain was the darling of the media. How did that help him when push came to shove? Were his 'friends' in the media fair, or willing to listen to what he had to say?

Grovel as a method rarely works and the media ain't our friend!

86 First, there's no way the cameraman and/or reporter didn't know damn well how it all looked. The framing of the shot was intended to embarrass her.

And second, who the hell gets a visit from a high-level guest like Gov. Palin -- and goes on choppin' heads off? I mean, the doofus couldn't wait 10 friggin' minutes?

Yep, that's what happens on a farm.  I recall my Uncle Cles telling me that when he was a kid in Ontario (in the early 1900's) they would use an inflated pig's bladder as a soccer ball.

What other use is domestic livestock but as work animals or as a food source?

Eggs and bacon are a great breakfast; but that is reality - how dinner gets to the table.

The funny thing about people getting wigged out over this is that a true aristocracy, such as in England before WWII, wouldn't have said anything.  Landed aristocracy meant just that - they were really, really big farmers.  That was what they were doing with their land - trying to make it pay for itself.  Yes, they had the big house, but like the Earl of Emsworth they had the piggeries.  And dairy barns.  And orchards.  And hayfields.  And acres of grain.  And flocks of sheep. And so on, and so on.

Note to all romantics - Tara was a great big farm, as was Mount Vernon, home to gentleman-farmer George Washington.  They didn't have the luxury of living on acres merely on the returns on investment in the computer industry.  Land had to bring some sort of return, such as the vegetable gardens that most people had, and that in the West was within recorded, and living, memory.

89 I noticed at the 1:58 mark that the Governor took in the turkey deactivation with a quick glance and didn't miss a beat.  She's a natural in front of the camera.

90 You know, I am really concerned how this will affect the Electorate.  Palin needs to be "Handled" by professionals. She obviously is not ready.

Posted by: Snivelling Twat at November 21, 2008 09:23 PM (baPuN)

91 This is Monty Pythonesque. Less Nessman, indeed. It's as funny as Obama trying to bowl or Hllary doing a shot and a beer.

The best part is around the 2:32 mark where Palin's prattling about being thankful while the Turkey's leg is twitching in her final death rattle. Just so incongruous and oblivious. God bless her... and the turkey!

Posted by: Blather at November 21, 2008 09:32 PM (jJIDo)

92 mossback@70:  Now you see, if the farmer dude was sticking a fetus in the funnel instead of a turkey they'd've loved her for it at Huff Post.

You're so right!

The "father of the animal rights movement," Peter Singer, is also the leading proponent of infanticide. These people are SO SICK.

93 WOW some of you guys are really over-thinking this.  Sarah is not a type of person who will do whatever the leftwing media wants.  She knew that dude was in the picture and she didnt give a 2nd thought to it.  Its her way of giving a big FU to the media.

95 It would be more interesting if she were poised over Henry Waxman's head with an axe. That would be worth seeing! Will she pardon that turkey?

Somewhat off thread topic, but on the topic of Thanksgiving, a video that details the history of Thanksgiving, pointing out that the pilgrims first experimented with socialism (failure) & then capitalism (success)...for all the people who wish to spread the wealth around:

97 did anyone notice her say, "reining in the size of government" and similar words that have not been heard in Washington since the Gipper's 2nd term.

as for the turkeys being slaughtered in the background: only vegetarians can carp about it without hypocrisy. this business of pardoning turkeys before thanksgiving is a tradition we could do without.

The H4 replica watches took replica watches Harrison a massive 13 years to replica watches construct-but this was only the end of a lifetime's work. His genius was clear from the very beginning. Unfortunately many astronomers such as Nevil Maskelyne were convinced that a mechanical solution replica watches would not work and that only astronomy could solve the replica watches longitude problem. The fact that Harrison was from a working class family and had little replica watches formal education probably didn't help his prospects.Solving the longitude problem through horology meant designing a timepiece that could work accurately at sea. When you watch consider the rolling waves, changes in replica watches temperature and generally adverse replica watches conditions the dificulty of this task becomes apparent.The H1 was completed in 1735 and proved replica successful at sea. However the Board of Longitude demanded a full a transatlantic wholesale watch voyage. They gave Harrison a grant of 500 pounds with which he began work on the H2 watches.

123 Certainly watches are Replica Watches used to help people record rolex Watches time, but rolex watches nowadays its functions have enlarged. Replica watches are now tag heuer Watches not only objects that tag heuer watches can tell you what time it is, they are also a status symbol. You should not feel strange when you find someone wearing a watch on his wrist, but use the cell phone to tell time. In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each. All are equal before the search of luxury and be men's watches respected. Within men's watches, the law, when consumers are in the market, women's watches they should women's watches receive the same treatment. This is the real reason why replica Rolex watches are ladies watches ladies watches more welcome than Rolex. Because in this world are not difficult to understand that the rich are much less than people with low income, you agree with me? You are forced to nod and say with certainty that is the reality. These low-income people do not have enough money to save every month. They can not afford such luxury Rolex watches

124 Factors Replica Watches About The Rolex replica watches Oyster The Oyster is so closely get in touch with Rolex, and it is inevitably that some people think these are the only Replica watches Rolex manufacture. Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it. The Osyter Perpetual is one of the toughest, most durable, most reliable watches (under truly adverse conditions). It is probably the best mechanical watch money can buy.
