Don't you just love the holiday classics?
For those who did not find the clip graphic enough we also have the outtake version for you.
And just imagine she was once MY Governor, and would now like to be YOUR President.
Not if we can help it.
And believe me, we can.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Happy Thanksgiving Gryphen.
ReplyDeletePerhaps someone can splice one of Sarah's moose chili cooking videos and Mr. Bean's infamous turkey episode. Seeing Sarah running around, screetching with a turkey permanently stuck on her head: priceless!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful I found this blog. Entertaining and informative. This is the first place I go to on the web everyday. Thanks, Gryphen !!!

Happy Thanksgiving all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clip, Gryphen! Such fond memories. : )
happy turkey day gryphen and all im readers! thnks for these clips - perect. i hadn't seen the second clip - briliiant!
ReplyDeleteAn instant holiday cult classic:) Now if we could just get $P's head in that funnel maybe she would STFU. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
ReplyDeleteHa, I knew you could make it happen!!! Thank you SO much. Really, this is the WGE career high spot. Although the phone call from Nicholas Sarkozy comes close!
ReplyDeleteThank you once again Gryphen.
The turkeys were the lucky ones in the video.
ReplyDeleteThey did not have to listen to her talk any more.
It was a mercy killing. The turkeys were thankful
Happy Thanksgiving to you too Gryphen. I'm so very thankful for you and all you do to bring us truth, light, many laughs & good information always. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteJust knowing that her verbiage has grown so much in the whole of her public career starting all the way down there in Wasilla and ending in Wasilla (making her home the de facto Capital of the State and makin us pay for that privilege. . .)
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin’s post loss, post pardon interview:
I don’t think it’s changed me at all, I have the same values and convictions and positions in policy so I’m just a greater appreciation I think for what other candidates go through you know I think it’s pretty brutal, you know, the time consumption there and the energy that has to be spent in order to get out and about with the message on a national level Great appreciation for other the candidates that go through this but also just a great appreciation for this great country there are so many good Americans who are just desiring of their government to kind of get out of the way and allow them to grow and progress and allow our businesses to grow and progress so great appreciation for those who share that value. I know, it was a blast, everyday it was just a blast to be out there on the trail.
Q: (hard to hear) So why is today so important for you?
A: Oh well, this was, this was neat. I was happy to get to be invited to participate in this and a, you know, it, for one, you need a bit of levity in this job especially with the, so much that has gone on in the last couple of months that has been so political obviously that it’s nice to get out and do something to promote a local business and just participate in something that isn’t so heavy handed politics that invites criticism, certainly we’ll probably invite criticism for doing this too but at least this was fun.
Q: So what is it that you are thankful for this year?
A: So thankful for the health and happiness of my family. That my son’s Striker Brigade is safe over there in Iraq, relatively safe and school is going well for the kids and Trig is happy and healthy. Just very thankful for the health and happiness of my family but then as much thankfulness that I have just being in Alaska knowing that this is the land of opportunities and possibilities so happy to get to be here.
Gobble, gobble, Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day!
Thank you, Gryphen, for this iconic Thanksgiving image, like Mr. Bean's, as London Bridges reminds us. The difference is that if Mr. Bean ran for office it would be a comedic gimmick--or maybe that's not a difference.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me it has been more than two years since you Alaskans shared your Governor with the rest of us. I know that because my son's history teacher two years ago showed his class this video. It is that classic.
Last night I was eliminating week 2 of Sarah's TLC show from my recorder and heard Sarah say, "Fame has been hard on Bristol." This was while she has her on a cable show and before she puts her on network TV twice a week.
Another gem of Palin Parenting:
If fame is hard on your unwed (then) teen mother, the solution is to put her on national TV to gain more fame, and not in a good way. -B
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!
ReplyDeleteI for one am thankful that $arah Quitterpants and McInsane did not win in 2008, and also, too, that Bri$tol will be out of the public limelight for a while (at least until she can have an early, induced birth, and give up the preemie for adoption...)
I'm so thankful that there are reasonable, rational people, who love our country and see the danger that is Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving everyone!
"Palin Slams Michelle Obama Again, This Time For Anti-Obesity Campaign" - Sam Stein on Huff Po
ReplyDeleteCurious that Palin is speaking out for parents' right to have fat kids. -B
Thanks Gryphen, for this post, for all that you do (that the LSM does NOT do), for always taking one for the team (my ears would be bleeding by now), and for all the laughs.
ReplyDeleteFor quite some time now, yours is the first site I visit in the morning and last at night.
I love how at the end of this clip she's talking about how stuffy politics is or whatever and then she says, but at least this was FUN! while the turkeys are so brutally slaughtered. Mmm-hmmm lots of FUN! Yeah Sarah, you are such an asshole! I think using a term usually applied to a man is appropriate for her. :-D
Happy Thanksgiving Gryphen!! You are the Best!
Thanks Gryph. This video never gets old.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Hard to believe, but I remember a time just a little more than two years ago when I never thought about Alaska, didn't know (or care) about its crazy ass grifters, and had yet to find my way to Mudflats and Immoral Minority... Now, rarely a day goes by that I don't visit, laugh, and nod my head. You shine a light into every day! I am grateful to have this little community of wit and sanity.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful thanksgiving, everyone!
Thank you Gryphen and to all the bloggers who are getting the Truth About Sarah out there. Keep up the great work so that this national nightmare will come to an end.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING "HATERS"!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I am thankful for my family's health and happiness, thankful that we've managed to stay employed, and very thankful that I get to come on this blog everyday to exchange ideas and information with so many smart, funny people.
That Palin Turkey Massacre has taken it's rightful place up there with Charlie Brown Thanksgiving as one of my favorite holiday classics! (The George Bush shoe throwing video is another one in my top ten)
Happy Thanksgiving gryphen! I hope you have a good one!
ReplyDeleteSeeing this stirs old sadness and resentment.
ReplyDeleteAt the time that our governor was doing this and even later, when the clip was aired, there was a Covenant House (homeless teen shelter) Candlelight Vigil taking place in downtown across. Literally across the street from Sarah's office.
It was special - villages and towns across Alaska were participating simultaneously and linked by telecommunications. I believe it was live broadcast. It was a moment of unity and community outreach.
They had 20 individuals leading the crowd of at least several hundred - CEOs,athletes,Alaska "celebrities" - representing companies pledging to do something about problems that create homeless children.
The governor had been invited but didn't attend. Had she been in her office, she would have seen the preparation for the event on the street below.
She was doing this instead.
What a wonderful PR moment she missed; a demonstration of Christian charity, true generosity, government leadership, she missed. How cool would that have been if she and her pack of teenagers of privilege had shown up as a family.
Scuttlebutt was that they had been Christmas shopping at Nordstrom's, across the alley. Maybe getting waxing and beauty services down the street.
Gryphen,I really appreciate all your hard work to keep this blog informative, fresh, and so, so funny. I love your writing style and how humor and wit is reflected in your pieces. I start and end my day by reading your blog which gets me going in the morning and lets me unwind in the evening. And to all the IM regular commentators, thanks for your sanity, humor, and insights.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving Gryphen.
ReplyDeleteAlternate title for Sarah’s new book:
ReplyDelete“Mein Bumf”.
Bumf: “…Its source is usually taken to be the much older bum-fodder. The sense was the one that you give, of useless or tedious printed information or documents — material whose only conceivable use was to be torn up, hung up on a nail in the privy and used as toilet paper….”
(from World Wide Words: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bum1.htm)
Please pass the stuffing...
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Gryph.....
ReplyDeletefor all you do... nemaste'
That outtakes clip was the BEST!
ReplyDeleteBest laugh I've had in over a week!
$Palin is the biggest joke ever. And the biggest turkey.
To cleanse your palate after the Turkey Massacre, please check out this video, a flash mob at a local Canadian mall.
