Mark, you're making yourself look silly. Rod was one of the first and most passionate defenders of Sarah Palin when the media went bonkers on her. And he defended her pretty much precisely on the basis that she represents a positive, rugged America proto-type. Including basically being a woman who isn't silly enough to be put-off by a turkey being killed near-by. Besides, I'm sure the Washington Post, National Review and Culture 11 (all conservative outlets Rod has/does write for) would be shocked to hear about his liberal roots. You are being hyper-sensitive, have jumped to ridiculous conclusions and should really stop before you say something else which is ridiculous. I think that old proverb would be instructive here:
It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. I think it's too late to avoid looking like a fool on this one, but maybe you can spare yourself further embarrassment.
Cannot believe that the protein part of Thanksgiving dinner was recently ambulatory. I'm shocked! Outraged! Horrified!
And in need of some Boars Head Low Salt cold cuts. Their turkey is delicious-little mustard, fresh wheat bread, tomatoes-YUM!
This is a hoot - and in no small part because of Palin's charming lack of shock at what is happening on a *gasp* farm!
Palin sounds like at least half the people in Minnesota, and most of my relatives BTW, so no more of you commentators commentatin' on her accent, please.
This video shows better who she is than all the weird scripting and nasty material the RNC and the McCain campaign gave her. She comes off as someone you would like to have as a neighbor.
You betcha!
I think she's great. I initially thought I would vote for her, but I decided there was a bit of a Peter Principle here, and that she makes a far better governor (especially of Alaska) than she would VP. She's not "sophisticated" enough to be a national pol. Mostly because all the hysterics the effete hypocrites in the press, in Europe, and on the lifestyle left would be incessant. They'd never shut up about her. They would have her be Dan Quayle in heels.. But stuff like this proves that she's anything but.
Headless turkies, You betchya! It's Thanksgiving!
Thanks for sharing this, Rod. The dark humor is just delish, and having killed a few animals for food myself, I'm enjoying all the hyperventilating.
The great thing about the interview is that the turkey decapitation distracts from the fact that she's practically incoherent in the interview. I don't have the slightest idea what she's talking about. She's charming and energetic, but is spouting such babble and nonsense that even the turkeys are glad they no longer have to listen to it.
