More about the Yule Goat
... a description of the Palin/McCain campaign, or
... a really great name for a rock band (with apologies to Dave Barry).
That said, girlfriend is hysterically clueless! I have to say I'm liking her a helluva lot more now that she's not campaigning. She can't hurt us now, but her comedy is golden!
Well at least the winch accessories at winch depot won't cost $150,000!

WTF, How Freudian can you get?
apparently they make exceptions for choking your turkey.
I had to watch this again. I am just AMAZED the she actually said "OK" to shooting with that background. CLUE-LESS. She actually wanted people to trust her with nuke-you-lur weapons?
Palin truly is the gift that keeps on giving, just like herpes.

Good thing Tina Fey has 30 Rock at a backstop for her career because the original Palin is the new comedy queen.
She really is the gift that keeps on giving. I was hoping I'd never see her hateful face again but if it's for stuff like this, I can deal with it....keep 'em coming "Seeearah"...
"Would you like to be taped over here by the chopping block?"
"No worries!"
This is symbolic on so many levels.... I can't believe the people in charge of this allowed it to happen.
Also, this looks unrehearsed, meaning she had no clue this was going on behind her....
LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY!!!
that in order to save a turkey, you've got to kill
some turkeys.
the woman would be my favorite source of
laughter if I only didn't detest the very sight
of her and the sound of her voice.. much the
same with #43, actually..
Allegory, or lying with a straight face, is this the double speak of just one fearless leader?
She's going to drop a frozen turkey in the fryer...
sarcasm
The point is exactly that this is NOT bizarre, or weird, or stupid, but that it is part of normal life, and the fact that CNN is playing up the idea that she's somehow from another planet because she's not afraid to show what goes on in everyday not-so-urban life is very divisive. To be fair, I think Palin's move is kind of brilliant in an evil, party-politics "real America versus fake America" sort of way, but I would have thought CNN would have been smarter than to leap for the bait. Farmers will see this and relate to her. City people see this and are embarassed. The division in America is continued, not least by the media playing along. Honestly.
However, I would never call Palin brilliant.
Glad to see the concern trolls are out and still actively defending Palin on liberal blogs. You go peeps!
sorry, she's a dope and this simply unscores what MOST people know already. I mean, she goes to a turkey farm to pardon a turkey, then stands there giving yet another bone-headed interview why turkeys are being slaughtered right behind her? Sorry, she's an IDIOT!!!
All hail the future of the Republican party!
She is truly in a league of her own.
"we'll probably invite criticism for doing this!"
Uh, yeah, you probably will, idiot.
Understatement of the year, IDIOT!
I do think Palin is a moron, but this is not news by any means.
"What will ambitious politicos learn from this? That frayed syntax, bungled grammar and run-on sentences that ramble on long after thought has given out completely are a candidate’s valuable traits?"
It's true, after her minuscule thoughts play out, her mouth keeps sputtering out words that destroy sense and logic. She’s needs a shock collar to jolt her out of her chatter surge, with one of her handlers quick at the switch.
Here's Cavett's the full article about Palin's wayward way with language.

I know... gallows humor.
THAT SAID, I WOULD NEVER... NEVER.... NEVER.... DO ANY KIND OF PRESS conference around animals being killed! That is the STUPIDEST thing Palin has done... YET! I'm so glad her stupidity continues to shine. That way, we don't have to hear how "unfair" it was that her "excellency" didn't get to be Vice President. Well, we still hear it but all we have to do is point to examples like this as to why we were so right to reject her.
and God knows she doesn't know when to just shut up......
She's all ego....
It's not that anyone is at all offended by killing turkeys.
It's just that it makes a distracting and embarrassing immediate backdrop
for someone trying to make political points, while turkey heads get lopped-off behind her.
Ya' think?
Not offensive, just dumb and distracting.
It shows Palin's tendency towards naivety.
Oh, and as a conservative, you surely would have joined in the laughter and criticism
if it had been, say, Biden, instead of PALIN.
YES, YOU WOULD HAVE & YOU KNOW IT.
Are you man enough to admit it?
I would wager, not.
Second "I hate you all and hope your turkey burns and catches on fire." isn't really as funny as it could be. Some people's gifts are more to be funny when they are not trying.
Just be yourself, don't try to hard. You are so funny! Just remember to do your next Christmas interview while field dressing a caribou like Sparrow suggested.
And that is empirical.
I'm a vegetarian because my fiancee doesn't like cooking meat. Still, this makes me happy for our turkey-free thanksgiving.
Run Sarah run!
Go Sarah.
What's frightening isn't her being oblivious, but what she actually said about her takeaway from the campaign:
"... but also, just a... a great appreciation for this great country - there are so many good Americans who are just desiring of, of their government to kind of "get out of the way" and allow them to grow and progress and allow our businesses to grow and progress, so great appreciation for those who share that value..."
Not seeing the forest (52%) for the trees (46%) is one thing, but it's something else to only see hobbits...
Government's been doing too much attention to business?
Maybe she sees unicorns, too.
This is the funniest shit I've seen on the web,maybe ever!I just can't stop laughing!
So glad my vote counted this time,and Grumpy and Winky will not have access to the nuclear football.
The guy in the background with that"you're a stupid bitch" look on his face-PRICELESS!!!!
Oh,please let her run in2012.
BWAHAHAHA
Thank you in advance,
Liberal America
