How inefficient. He only kills 2 turkeys in 3 minutes! I thought they just dropped them in a room with a big buzzsaw, like on South Park.<BR/><BR/>But I can understand why everyone would have such a visceral reaction to this video. Palin's voice is so grating as she blathers on and on. No wonder they tried to keep her from the media.Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03960550678958802334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428176770158835800.post-52803097518524971892008-11-27T10:03:02.750-05:002008-11-27T10:03:02.750-05:00Palin was not unaware of what was going on behind her. Reporters at the interview say she chose the place and when asked, before the interview, if she wanted to move, replied "No worries" (http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/turkey-gate-the-fiasco-that-wouldnt-die/)<BR/>Also at one point in the video, she turns to look behind her. While I am appalled at her lack of empathy and sensitivity (to the turkeys and to her fellow Americans), I do think that we as Americans do need to see where our meat comes from, in what way, and not blind ourselves to that reality. The turkeys behind Palin are only a few of the millions slaughtered every year so that we can "give thanks".marimannhttp://marimann.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
