Levity abounded during an interview given by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin November 20th as she gave the traditional Thanksgiving pardon to one lucky turkey near Wasilla, AK.
Palin also used the opportunity to reach into her personal pouch of Scrabble tiles to try to string a few words together, and ended up bemoaning how heavy-handed and political things have been for her over the last couple of months.
Keen observers now know that it takes approximately one minute to slaughter a turkey as, during the course of the roughly three-minute interview, three of the less fortunate associates of the pardoned turkey were garrotted and inverted into a metal tube to bleed out, all directly behind Governor Palin and in plain view of the cameras.
Palin described her outing to the turkey farm as “fun”, but displayed an unusual amount of prescience when she indicated some criticism might come her way for doing the interview.
The clever interviewer even snuck in a reference to a “chopping block”, which appeared to go sailing far over the head of the hard working governor, as she voiced her thanks for being back in Alaska, the Land of Opportunity.
Now, where did we put the Tofurky…?

Why are so many people outraged about this?
Do they think thanksgiving turkeys are hatched weighing 17 pounds, picked, cleaned, vacuum packed and oven ready?
You can bet there will be a turkey on almost every table in America even after seeing those turkeys being slaughtered! Taste over “taste”!
