As God as my witness...I thought turkeys could fly!

I find it funny that all liberals can do is take jabs at this woman. So disrespectful, just as they took shots at W Bush his whole term. I am a conservative, but am willing to see what he has to offer and refuse to stoop to the levels that liberals did with Bush. Pathetic!

Something I noticed in the full broadcast of Sarah Palin's latest politically tone deaf blunder : the pardoned (yeah, right) turkey was too 'dirty' for Ms Palin to touch it, and she 'squeeed' away from it as fast as possible. Is this the same Sarah Palin who bragged about field dressing a moose? I swear, this woman is a walking SNL sketch. She should try stand up comedy next time. (In her defense, Sarah might have been trying to keep her 'on loan from the GOP' clothing clean.)

I thought of WKRP in Cincinnati when Les Nessman threw the turkeys out of the plane. This is just another sit-com scene that will last for a long time until someone takes it offline. She wants publicity and she's getting it. Palin reminds me of that traffic accident where you don't want to look, but look anyway.

Nobody is upset that someone is killing a turkey for Thanksgiving. That is, after all, how they end up on the dinner table. It is absolutely hilarious and so completely in keeping with her brainless persona that she is busy pardoning the poor bird while he is busy being butchered. This bimbo is so clueless, can't believe anyone supported her VP bid! This story is so funny – it's almost too funny to be believed. Any chance the whole thing was photoshopped by one of the many Palin detractors? She has said a lot of disjointed and senseless things while being shown to be a complete idiot, this is almost like an SNL skit taking her over the top!

the worlds longest train wreck!
she reminds me of bush when he was first elected.(or selected)
she continues to say and do the stupidest things!
it not that shes news worthy, its that shes entertaining!
love her or hate her, she makes people laugh!
she makes me laugh, and i love to hate her!
i hope she stays around for longer.

ALASKANTS!

NOTED POST "Another Sick Blog…. 98% of America Eat's Meat… But they pick on Sarah Paling, while they their "Ham Samwich"…

Well now got to ask, is that ham with or without lipstick???

Yes, people... We need to eat meat and we eat meat. We also adore children, but we really do not need to see in the news the process of making them. Like we all understand the natural needs (uhm, i mean, after the turkey dinner...), but we'd find it disgusting to be shown here, even it is really natural and every one does it. My point is, there are some things which are better leave alone when you make the talk in front of the camera, especially if you've just got your extra low ratings after dirty political games. Why wouldn't she make the press blah-blah somewhere else, with a bit more appropriate background, with some nicer looking guy? If you are in politics, you must think at least a little bit
about your image, especially if you are a woman and the mother of five. How unfortunately for you, Sarah.

And how is this any different to how the White House does photo ops with their "live" turkey before Thanksgiving ??

Maybe the only difference is that the White House's turkey is brushed down for the photo op.

If the governor of Michigan did the exact same thing, it wouldn't be worth a place on the CNN Ticker. It isn't worth it for the governor of Alaska, either. Get a different fixation, CNN, please.

i think it is time for us all to start acting like adults.

she is an american like all of us, even if her views are different and foreign to most of us.

she fought to become our next vice president and she lost. she is still a govenor and be respected as such.

but if you are going to start doing national coverage of govenors, how about taking a look at the bachelor governor Charlie Crist.... i think there is a better story there

but seriously this is not CNN worthy, imo, i do not care about Govenor Sarah Palins Thanksgiving duties. Thanks but No Thanks.

How did this ignorant woman become governor? Admittedly, most people I've know who went to Alaska were 'lower 48' misfits who just didn't like the conformity and rules down here. Now though, I question their political judgement as well.

IF YOU ALL HATE HER SO MUCH WHY DO YOU INSIST ON KEEPING HER IN THE NEWS WITH YOUR COMMENTS. LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT BE JUST A BIT AFRAID OF HER. THIS STORY IS SO STUPID AND ALL THE HATEUL PEOPLE ON HERE ARE JUST AS STUPID.

This just shows what a media hound she is, she can't stand to not be in the news LMAO

Ask any Alaskan, Sarah never used to dress like that when she was out and about before in AK, now she's got to get all 'dressed up'. She's changed a heck of a lot since the campaign, you betcha she has

the fact that the turkey got killed on camera behind her is NOt the point idiots!

it is the fact, much like her knowledge of Africa being a "country and not a continent" she is unaware of reality even when it occurs right beside her!

like most of the radical religious right they do not understand, or WANT, to understand the baisics of reality that is why they blissfully attack science even as science works to save their lives.. idiots one and all

isn't it about time to get Gov Palin OUT of the national news? She is past being newsworthy for every little thing she does. and this was a real turkey of a story anyway. We should get to the real business of what's going on like, how in the heck is this "Joe the Plumber" guy getting a 1/2 million dollar book deal and what did he do to deserve it??

If Sarah Palin was elected VP it would've been the same thing as electing for Paris Hilton. Glad that didn't happen.

A lot can change in two and a half weeks...

The GOP can like her if they want but she's just not qualified for any public office. She's uneducated, uninformed, frivolous, corrupt and is not a team player. All beauty pageant poise and no substance. Is she deaf? She ignored the murderous chants at her rallies and she pretends to not hear the cries of the unlucky turkey.

C'mon Palin Bashers, how do you think that tasty turkey gets to your Thanksgiving table. It just proves how really lucky that turkey was to be pardoned by her. At least it's not gonna be eaten by a bunch of hypocrites, like the ones that wrote in to bash her – GET OVER IT !

I have no idea why this even get this much coverage whlie there are other serious issues facing this country and the world. I am from Africa and this is not big news for me we used to kill goats, sheeps, chickens, cows and oxen during holidays. Turkeys are not fruits that we harvest form trees come on people you should know how meat gets on the table.

It's just a matter of time before we see this woman in a nude magazine. I think there are loose screws in Sarah Palin. I declared that this idiot and John McCain were the early thanksgiving turkies after loosing the elections.Sarah Palin did that interview on the farm to get a free turkey. Someone please investigate this scumbag now.This is how she operates all over Alaska taking a page out of Ted Stevens criminal book.

I guess it is the cluelessness that gets me, not the fact of turkey-killing, for which we can be grateful if we are not vegetarians. I mean, thank God someone else wants to do such a messy job. I grew up in a place where I witnessed the demise of many a turkey, one of which my family was given to eat by the farmer who did it, our landlord. It was a precious lesson in reality to live in that place when I was 5-6 years old, and I sent my children to farm summer camp so they could have a sense of everything required of that life.

But the dumb turkey pardoning – it sounds about as silly as many of the English customs around the monarchy, and I wonder if it doesn't derive from it. Perhaps it is even older. The ruler is important because he can spare life or take it. Sarah Palin understands that – it the monopoly of rulers, and it is why something like abortion would not be permitted in her realm. Sending troops to war, executing prisoners, bombing cities - all very well if the ruler is doing it. Not okay for the commoners.

I am already happier with a "ruler" who gets it that his rule is temporary, that he is actually a commoner who will return to relative powerlessness, and that he must therefore try to conduct himself for the greater good. But then Tony Blair, Bush's "poodle", was a liberal, educated Labour guy the way Obama is a Dem. I do hope Obama is much, much smarter. He will certainly be more powerful.

Sarah Palin is not going to be a presidential contender ever.

Turkeys are suppose to be dumb (don't know if it is true or not) but I know for sure – Palin is dumb!
She still loves to hear herself go on and on and on and on....oh her voice just grates on me and having to listen to her grammar. You know she is dumb when she doesn't even know people are laughing at her!
