>>You mean she had no clue about what was happening -- right behind her? All that flapping and bloody chaos?

Hey now!

In the video, there are times when her head is turned a bit sideways and she clearly could/should have seen what was going on. And didn't she get herself into position for the interview? She either had to walk backwards or she was carried, blindfolded, to where she stood in order to avoid it. Unreal that she/they expect people to believe she didn't know - but then, that's her style.

In her defense, she may not have known what the equipment was for. But it's telling that she doesn't have the presence of mind to register the camera man's hint that perhaps this isn't the most flattering shot.

Unless maybe she was just looking for a good PR stunt to announce her next kids' name....gobble.

rather, Gobble, also.

Hey, the woman enjoys "aerial wolf gunning"(a truly awful way to hunt, albeit awesome name for a band); of COURSE she knew about the turkey chipper shredder. Of COURSE she had no problem with it. Kill wolves from a copter? Smile pretty for camera in front of poultry massacre? No worries, you betcha!

It's just more BS from the far edge of the great white north. She has no problem with butchering animals. However, for me, that video was a great advertisement for vegetarianism.

Just.
Stop.
Talking.
About.
That.
Slunt.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!

From now on, ALL photo and video ops of Sarah Palin are to be referred to as "turkey shoots."

That is all.

You know, I was going to refer to this one as position the plumber, considering our topic, but I like what Matt said. So position turkey shoot it is.

I can't wait to enjoy my Tofurkey on Thanksgiving Day. Although some crazy-ass right-winger like Rich Lowry is probably hoping they get to nibble on that particular turkey. Since it was close to her sparkliness.

Can I just say that every time I read "turkey geeker" or some other use of the word geek to mean kill . . . it makes me laugh. I have never heard that expression before. Thanks Cesca and crew.

As to Sarah Failin' -- didn't she say "no worries" to the camera position? She couldn't _hear_ the turkeys getting geeked?

As to the turkey geeker himself -- I sure wish the MSM would locate him, a la Joe The Plumb-nuts and ask him all about what should be done to save the US. Hannity needs to interview _him_. Give _him_ a book deal. His opinion is as good as Joe's! WTF!

I like "turkey shoots"

Do we need to limit this to just Palin pandering or can we open it up to any self-serving politician slaughtering the truth for political gain?

How about this thought:

Who wants a politician that's so unobservant that they're (excuse me) bloody clueless about what's going on around them? That's a serious personality flaw, right there.

"Oh, I dunno, maybe there were 10 casualties, maybe 1,000. Couldn't say for sure."

Oh, and an obligatory fuck TypePad. Seriously, also.
