Yes, It Is A Sick Sense Of Humor....
PALIN INTERVIEW AS TURKEY SLAUGHTERED
(Please, please click the above link)
I'm sorry, but this is funny, in an extremely gross way of course. I voted for the McCain/Palin ticket, and I realize this video is not posted for her positive benefit. But... as I watch her, smiling and glib and perky, with cup of java in hand.... discussing politics and matters of state... as a turkey is being decapitated and bled in the background- I find this to be hilarious. I am sitting here at the computer laughing harder than I have done in months. She talks as the poor creature is placed into the funnel. The henchman watches with a dazed look, systematic and disinterested in his slaughter. I'm pretty sure he is not Secretary of State material.
Wait- I will watch it one more time...
O.K. I guess it is not so funny the second time. Pretty sick, I guess. The poor turkey is flopping and quivering, and head is systematically being removed in the giant funnel, as Jason/Michael Myers squeezes out her life and stares out into space. Through the ordeal, Palin's squeeky and happy voice rises in grating intensity. No, it's not funny..... Who am I kidding? I'll stop lying- this is better than a Seinfeld rerun.
By the way, I have four frozen butterball turkeys in the freezer. Who knows, maybe one was decapitated during this interview?

Oops. The granddaughter just found a fly. We must play our little game of Pick The Wings Off The Fly as we watch the video once again.

I think it's hilarious personally, but I am a sicko

I am quite glad to have the cyber-connection of a fellow sicko. Maybe it's the time of day, or something not quite clicking in my psyche, but this video has really tickled me.

I don't know that I found it funny, per se. Surreal, definitely. She's talking about being happy to have some fun away from the politics of the last few months, and I kept thinking, "Say bloodletting. Say bloodletting." It's the kind of weird video that I don't think I'd be too surprised if she suddenly busted out with a can-can, or if she suddenly donned a propeller beanie. It was just strange to watch.

Turkey slaughter is a nice metaphor for what happened to her on election day.

I almost wish she were the Vice President! It would certainly be an interesting 4 years, wouldn't it? I know lots of folks think she has a future in the GOP. I don't have a dog in that hunt, but I just can't see it. I believe she is exactly the vapid ideological non-thinking speech reader that she came off as during the campaign. Of course, that's in now a disqualifier for high public office in and of itself. I predict she doesn't win re-election as Governor or that she won't even run. Alaska's in big trouble with oil at $50 per barrel and she make a ton of dough now by joining the speaking / media / book writing class.
My one caveat is that she likely firmly believes that God's got her back and that she's being groomed to be Yahweh's Golden Girl. So, she's not likely to stop trying to move up the ladders of power until she suffers a career-ending election loss.
The turkey thing was almost unbelievable -- it was as if she's moved the SNL writers to Alaska and they are now just staging events to use for Saturday Night Live! lol!
You know that's going to be straight to SNL with this turkey thing. They have to figure out a way to combine the turkey slaughter press conference with the Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals skit. It makes me cry tears of joy just imagining the possibilities.

Surely the cameraman was an Obama supporter.
