Oh man, does that bring back memories!
I was reminded of this ad by Bloomberg. who calls it, "The greatest Thanksgiving ad of all time."
Pretty sure their tongue was firmly jammed into their cheek for that one.
But seriously I think WE should all take a moment to thank Sarah Palin as well. Here I'll start.
Thank you Sarah Palin for providing a barometer whihc helps us to measure the ignorance and incompetence of our politicians.
Thank you Sarah Palin for promoting the Tea Party in its infancy so that it could damn near destroy the Republican party from within.
Thank you Sarah Palin for the many helpings of incoherent word salad, with batshit crazy croutons, that allows the rest of us to realize just how intelligent we are by comparison.
And most of all, thank you Sarah Palin for raising a gaggle of moronic, uncivilized morons, who were responsible for perhaps the most fun we had this year.....the Throwdown at the Hoedown.
Gee, and I did not get you anything this year.
Thank you so much for posting this conglomeration of brain dead christian freaks! Mrs. Palin and her absolute idiot supporters are always good for a laugh and for that I say "thanks" as in I'm giving thanks for their idiocy and hopefully next year I can give even more thanks because there are less of these brainwashed idiots walking amongst us.
ReplyDeleteI saw a bit about President Obama doing the annual turkey pardon and it reminded me of the Great Sarah Palin Turkey Pardon/Massacree. That hasn't gotten any less bizarre with the passage of time.
ReplyDeleteIt's good, but pales in comparison to Wes Nessman in WKRP in Cincinatti.
DeleteWATCH: President Obama Hilariously Trolls Tea Party Dinks by Taking Executive Action to Offer ‘Amnesty’ to Two Turkeys (Video)

@Anita- As God is my witness, I thought that turkeys could fly! One of the all time great Thanksgiving moments on TV!
DeleteShame on you Anita. Its Les Nessman.
DeleteOooops. The closer the bottom of the bottle, the sloppier I get.
DeleteAnd before anybody asks, no I have not forgotten about the turkey massacre video.
ReplyDeleteBut today is not yet Thanksgiving, so be patient.
Thanks Gryph! I was expecting the turkey massacre when I clicked on-but this actually made me sick! You da man!
ReplyDeleteLove, Georgia, USA
So did I think it would be the turkey slaughter disaster!
DeleteOf all the AK Sarah stink since 2008, I'd never seen this 'commercial' for Thanksgiving to/for the 'Sarah Palin' brand. Having seen it, no value has been added to anything worthwhile.

The thing that makes me most sad is that there are more christians than there are lions. Even if every lion on the face of the earth could eat his fill of christians we'd still have some christians leftover, which makes me very sad. The Romans had so many things right when it came to using these devout idiots for lion fodder. If anything we need to get busy breeding more lions because they have big appetites and they could solve this problem for us in a few years.
ReplyDelete:-)
I would have been thankful if Granny tore off her apron, ran amok through the crowd of read-off-the-cue-cards-and-we'll-give-you-fifty-bucks Xtains and beaten them to a pulp with her wooden spoon!
ReplyDeleteIt WOULD be the greatest Thanksgiving ad of all time if it included the footage of the epic turkey slaughter. I may have to do a bit of tinkering with those videos and make it the must see video of Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the picture of Sarah last year, carving the spine of her burnt turkey with a cheese-and-tomato knife.
Delete9:01 and 7:00 Darn! we are getting ourselves quite a collection of Palin Thanksgiving Classics!
DeleteWe'll have to organize a Best Of event so we can vote for our favorite.
I already commented on my favorite Palin Thanksgiving below (Sorry, Gryph, didn't mean to step on your plans to hold the Turkey Massacre for later.).
But I also like the cheese knife on the upsidedown turkey as it tells the TRUE story of Palin and her Rugged Wilderness Cook [TM] Meme.
I am thankful for Sarah Palin spreading the news that our great president was voted into office twice by rill merikans.idiot!
ReplyDeleteI would rill thankful if Sarah actually DIDN'T survive the people who voted twice for President Obama. Ask a stoopid question idjit, get a stoopid answer.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to IM and all the folks who offer great comments. What the Hell, Happy Thanksgiving to the Slander Troll who lives life vibrantly, too, also.
ReplyDeleteTo me this was another example of the "Sarah Palin Paradox."
ReplyDeleteI just made that up as we really need a term to describe these things.
Using this definition of Paradox from Google Search:
"a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true."
I thought it was a JOKE, but realized on reflection that the PSA was intended as presented: As a Big Thank You to Sarah Palin for being so wonderful as the Savior of the 2008 Campaign and politics in the U.S. as we know it.
And some on here question why others believed the fake story about Sarah saying we should put all the immigrants on a boat and ship them back to Mexico?
The Sarah Palin Paradox: The most ludicrous things seem real and the most real things seek ludicrous.
Because, after six years of Sarah Palin we have learned that you can't make this stuff up, and the jokes just keep writing themselves.
The most ludicrous things seem real and the most real things seem ludicrous.
Delete$arah Paylin definition in the dictionary! HOOHAH
Also, too, and them a big helping more...
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Gryphen and my family here at IM.
Happy Thanksgiving also to the poor family of turkey farmers that suffered The Palin Curse. This video has given more pleasure to more people than you will ever know.
I share Huffpo's take on it as it adds a written intro in the story that those who didn't vibrantly live the original incident may need to get the full effect of this instance of The Palin Paradox.

ps I still am undecided whether she knew full well what she was doing and wanted the extra publicity of being so foolish, or if she was just exhibiting her serious cluelessness about anything "other than" Sarah Palin.
pss I think she would do something like that today because she is so desperate for attention--any attention. But I think then, right after the 2008 campaign, she was just so full of herself that she couldn't see past her nose to see what was in the picture.
And she "knew more than anyone" so she didn't listen to those, including her advisers, who told her to move.
I think she was doubling down on her "killing animals doesn’t bother me!" meme. She is a very, very sick woman.
DeleteI'm thankful the Palins didn't crash my birthday party. I'm not going to tell you where I live, don't want them crashing my party next year.
ReplyDeleteI was going to post the turkey massacre, but I'll let you do the honors, Gryph. If you don't take offense to "blessings on Thanksgiving to you and yours," then that is what I wish you a thousand times over.
ReplyDeleteSarah, I'd like to express my appreciation for the motley assortment of wig and wiglets, extensions and weaves that you wear on your head just for our amusement. Your off-the-wall choices and witty combinations of bits and pieces and clashing colors never fail to make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful Sarah Heath didn't attend my college where she probably winked, licked her lips and stuck out her tongue like a retard to get a passing grade.
ReplyDelete1. First, Palin and Ketchum (and two other high-school friends) lighted on the University of Hawaii-Hilo. Drawn by the promise of warmth and sunshine, ..... immediately either transferred out or declined to register. (The school has no record Palin ever enrolled.)
2. Next stop: Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu, where it was sunnier..... By the end of freshman year, Palin and Ketchum decided they'd grown tired of this hard-won sunshine and arranged to transfer out.
3. Next stop: North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene.... But Palin attended the school for only one year—a spokeswoman for the college told the Associated Press, "We were not able to track down club affiliations or anything"—before departing. This time, Ketchum stayed put.
4. Next stop: the University of Idaho in Moscow, .... Palin didn't write for the school newspaper—..... her academic adviser, Roy Atwood, does not appear to remember her. After one year, Palin decided to take some time off.
5. Next stop: Matanuska-Susitna Community College in Palmer, Alaska, not far from Palin's hometown of Wasilla. Palin took classes here for one semester.
6. Next stop: Back to the University of Idaho for three more semesters. Palin graduated in spring 1987 with a journalism degree.
..... a Republican member of the House of Represenatives, recalls a conversation with Palin when he ran against her for governor in 2006. "Andrew," Palin said, "I watch you at these debates with no notes, no papers, and yet when asked questions, you spout off facts, figures, and policies, and I'm amazed. But then I look out into the audience and I ask myself, 'Does any of this really matter?' "
According to Halcro, it didn't. Palin creamed him because "she's a master, not of facts, figures, or insightful policy recommendations, but at the fine art of the nonanswer, the glittering generality

10:27 Thanks for the list. I did not realize (1) that HI university had no record of her enrolling. That is interesting, is it not?
DeleteAs I said in a previous post. Most of us got our diplomas (as did our kids and friends and spouses) by the knuckle down and do the work method.
Sarah Palin, clever woman that she is who knows just how far to the edge to go...got her diploma by taking advantage of privacy laws that mandate the University of Idaho cannot say anything about her grades or graduation status without her signature.
She "got her diploma" by NOT getting a diploma, but going ahead and saying so, since she knows no one at the school can legally contradict her.
You or I would be mortified to know that the heads of the University are fully aware that we are lying. For Sarah, that's just business as usual.
Diploma by Privacy Law.
That's how Sarah got her so-called journalism and/or communications degree. (Just like where Trig was born, her major changes depending on which meds she's on.)
I am so thankful that none of my boys got those Palin girls pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI know what Dylan, Ben, Levi and Gino are thankful for.
ReplyDeleteFor what?
DeleteGetting some ass without buying the hefer?
Getting some ass without having the hefer's relatives as in-laws?
Getting some ass without impregnating the hefer?
For not having the hefer's family crash their birthday parties?
For not catching std?
What are you guys happy and thankful for?
Penicillin? That stuff doesn't work after awhile, plus it causes your jaw to get all crooked and need medically necessary chin implants. (Wink OUCH wink) Oh the things they do for beauty! Guess the best she can hope for now is some dork with a chin fetish.
DeleteI am thankful this harpy is too dumb to know how stupid she is. She provides great fodder for mirth. I'm enjoying watching the ignorant demagogic narcissist melt. The poor confused simpletons who give her money will eventually have to shuffle off to their next shiny object.
ReplyDeleteWhat a completely fucking ridiculous ad for Palin. WTF did she ever do to brainwash these fools so bad?
ReplyDeleteAnd there was nothing to buy at the end, unless you were shopping for bullshit.`
ReplyDeleteOMG. I cannot even type Grace and Dignity. And Sarah Palin in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you, that IS the best commercial I have ever seen, it literally brought a tear to my eye and a warm glow in me heart...watching that promo gives you a partial lobotomy, quite spectacular, I now hate her even more than before
ReplyDeletePlease! I still have to eat Thanksgiving dinner, ya know.
ReplyDeleteWTF do you put this shit on your page Grygh?
