No one ever blames the reporter, who could clearly see the turkey being slaughtered yet said nothing, nor the cameraman who made sure to keep the tape rolling on the bird as Palin was being interviewed. Both could see what was happening behind Palin, yet the liberal press or public has yet to chastise either. The only thing Palin haters can legitimately blame Palin for is that she lacks eyes in the back of her head.

I suppose the little girl commenting on this item for N.B.C. will have cereal for thanksgiving dinner so nothing other than plants will have to die..It's nice to know that a failing T.V. network will give a wuss a job.

When then Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin visited a poultry farm last November to pardon a turkey, it was a mostly unremarkable photo-op. Afterward, however, Palin unwittingly helped create a morbidly amusing viral video by giving a three-minute interview to a local TV station (screen shot pictured at left), apparently unaware that unpardoned turkeys were being slaughtered in the background. See the clip below, but be warned — even with the goriest parts blurred out, it's still not for the faint of heart (or stomach):
