Well it's Thanksgiving so you know what that means. Let the great Sarah Palin turkey slaughtering video commence!

God that never gets old!

Here is a little write up that HuffPo did for those who may not be familiar with this video gem: 

Fresh off a defeat in the 2008 presidential election, Palin headed to a turkey farm in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, to pardon a local bird -- a common practice among governors. 

Palin delivered her prepared remarks over frequent interruptions from clucking birds not as fortunate as the turkey getting the reprieve. She even touted herself as a "friend to all creatures great and small" before posing for a photo op. 

What happened next was entirely unexpected. While many had recently learned that Palin could be unpredictable -- even a maverick, perhaps -- Americans couldn't have foreseen her conducting a lengthy on-camera interview while live birds were being fed into a machine of mass turkey murder mere feet behind her. 

Palin seemed to unwittingly nail her remarks, commenting on the need to find "levity" in her job as turkey after turkey was decapitated by the metal cone of death in the background. The man shoving the struggling birds into the device even looked up toward Palin and the camera as the governor presciently predicted that the spectacle would invite skepticism.

What can I say, it's a tradition.

On this day I need some white meat, some stuffing, some cranberry sauce, and some Sarah Palin blabbering while turkeys are being slaughtered in the background, to make my holiday complete.

And let me remind everybody once again that Palin was asked if she was sure that was where she wanted to stand and she said, "No worries."

    This year, the turkey farm stopped using the "cone-of-death". The farm hired Track and Bristol to punch the turkeys to death.

    Track used his self proclaimed karate skills to break their necks.

    Bristol is still looking for the turkey that stole her sandals and $300 sunglasses.

    "I'm always in charge of the turkey" then she has that weird chin jut. A lie? Then to "I get to be in Alaska"...drivel as well. What a baffoon. Scarah turkey killer. Funny as heck too.

      I speak word salad, by "I'm always in charge of the turkey", by "turkey", she means a man, one who, again with great appreciation of diversity here in Alaska and the plummeting oil prices, he who carries her purses whose name starts with a "T".

      I could swear the guy beheading the turkeys was eyeing her up, trying to figure how big a funnel he'd need to fabricate right here in 'Merica".

    Why isn't Sarah clubbing the turkeys to death the way that she slays fish?

    "No worries." She lives in a bubble and cannot see what the rest of us see.
    Or, she was concentrating so hard on where she'd put her cheese knife last Thanksgiving that she could think of nothing else.
    Or the squawking reminded her of Bristol and Willow when they're told to wash the dishes/throw away the paper plates.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    A little OT. I ran into the good doctor CBJ a couple times last week at the Hilton, and I have to say GILForama! Yes, she is a smokin'hot coug for sure.

    Does anyone here know if the good doc is single?

    Meeeeow

    I have to admit that this video has become somewhat of a tradition these last six years.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you Sarah Palin. You are a scary one, but you have given us lots of laughs these past six years. And I am thankful that you lost the election back in 2008.

    It's much better with Palin muted and Alice's Restaurant playing. Oh, hell, what isn't better with Palin muted?

    Ahhhhhhh, a classic. It was a preview of Palin's future cluelessness. Babbling in front of a camera--having no idea what
    is truly going on around her.

    I'm always in charge of the turkey. Yes, you are, Sarah. I loved the way that you clawed at that poor bird, trying to carve it by making cuts along its spine. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1483544_603134249743661_24555465_o.jpg

    Her gloves are too big. It's a cheese knife. She has the instructions on her iphone. The breast looks raw. And, the turkey is sitting on a towel. Yeah, put Sarah in charge of the turkey every year and pass some more moose chili.

    Thanks, Gryphen. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without this. I know I could google it but it's more fun seeing it here among friends. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

    HuffPo got it wrong, this was not a tradition for an AK governor. To my knowledge, no AK governor had ever done a "turkey pardon". She wanted to mimic what a President does. She's so personality-disordered.

      Yes, and it was weird, even without the slaughter scene. She basically "pardoned" a random turkey, who was then returned anonymously to the flock, so there would be no way of knowing whether it would be slaughtered or not.

      1:03 I always wondered what they did with the pardoned turkey. Like did they donate it to the zoo or something since they weren't suppose to kill it.

      Bet it got killed. Turkeys, beware the Palin Curse.

      I also have always been offended that she couldn't bother to put down her coffee cup to do an "official governor" event.

      Like it's a big middle finger to Alaskans that she can't be bothered to set aside her coffee for 5 minutes because at that point she was So Important and So Deserving and So Much Better than all the 659,999 other Alaskans.

      JMO Anonymous9:52 AM I think she did it AS a WARNING to Alaskans.... STFU! Don't tell paps stories about me!
      She knew exactly what she was doing. And it was a clear warning to Alaskans...but now the Palin-Parnell administration is gone! I hope lots of loose lips b/c there is not $$ to stfu!!

    On a pleasant note.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It's still early afternoon here in Alaska so we haven't eaten yet.

    Hope those of you Outside had a good dinner with friends and family.

    Ahhh, NOW it's Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving, all! And a special shout out to Chuck Sr and Sally (Sarah Sr.) Heath for knocking their heads against the headboard, or tent or wherever it was you two first did the nasty some nine months before Sarah was born. She's a breast of fresh air, and always good for a laugh. So thanks for that, not that it's a big dill, dung beetles and lemur do the same thing. Now go watch and make sure the mac and cheese don't burn (again)
