This is a link to a pretty unbelievable video. It shows Sarah P. pardoning a turkey. Now I have a bit of problem with the whole notion of pardoning a turkey. I don't like anthropomorphizing of food, so the notion of a turkey being some sort of criminal in need of a pardon is somewhat disturbing. The video first shows Sarah P being too squeamish to touch the lucky bird. Then she proceeds to give an interview with turkeys being slaughtered in the background. Speaking of having a tin ear. The CNN crawl said something along the lines of Palin oblivious to the slaughter behind her...It seemed to me that the man who was doing the slaughtering was gawping and leering at the camera as he beheaded bird after bird, while Ms P pontificates. This is maybe her Mitt Romney moment (Mitt strapped the family pooch on top of the car to go on a family vacation,) where she will argue that the bird actually likes being beheaded.
