Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more bizarre, she goes and does this. Words fail me. Good pictures of Stevens, though.
She looks pretty nervous in that coop for such a self-proclaimed badass outdoorswoman.
Can we have some sort of clue as to what it says so we don’t all have to register?
Thread closing in 3… 2…
Moving thread to MPSIMS.
I think it’s a link to a video of Gov. Palin doing the ceremonial “pardon” of a turkey. Attempt at a joke on the part of the OP.
Palin pardons a turkey at a turkey farm (of course, the turkey was probably slaughtered 10 minutes after Palin left) and then gives an interview spouting inanities while turkeys are killed and bled out right behind her, no doubt scarring a whole generation of young Alaskans.
Here’s a video of the pardon and interview (partially blurred).
Here’s a video of the killings behind her, unblurred.
What’s funny is that behind Palin is a worker dispatching another turkey.
Is she drinking coffee through a straw?
I cracked up. He looks so confused stuffing that turkey in the Turkeymatic. “Should I?” He seems to go back and forth between slaughtering it and waiting for her to leave, and the trough of blood and feathers behind her makes for a great visual. Spot on media work, Sarah.
I get made fun of for this. It keeps your teeth from staining and those little disposable cups make it easy to dribble coffee down your chin.
Okay; now I can’t wait to get home and look at the video.
I inject it directly in the vein.
Isn’t there a rule here about misleading thread titles? You might want to ask a mod to change this title to make it clear you’re joking.
As for the video itself, eh, that’s life on a farm. Since she apparently knows how to field dress a moose, I don’t think Palin would be perturbed much even if she had noticed what was going on.
It’s a good reminder not to buy a turkey for Thanksgiving if that sort of blood and gore bothers you, though.
Incidentally, I have a friend who lovingly raises ducks as if they were pets, and then slaughters them to eat when they’re grown. I find it morbid and creepy…but, again, that’s life on a farm.
Between the MPSIMS forum choice and the double exclamation marks, I’d be surprised if anyone takes the title literally. I saw it and immediately presumed it was like those crossword puzzle clues that have question marks.

MSNBC had several captions to describe what was going on:
“Gov. Palin picks worst possible backdrop for TV news interview.”
“Gov. Palin apparently oblivious to turkey carnage behind her.”
“Gov. Palin not realizing incongruity of her words versus her backdrop.” 
Sarah Palin and a dead turkey. If only there was some way to use that as a metaphor…
I think the point here is that, if you’re going to go through the whole ridiculous ceremony of pardoning a turkey, you don’t give an interview immediately following that, showing other turkeys being slaughtered. This is just basic political acumen.
The message is clear. If you mess with me or mine, or somehow try to stop me from putting stuffing up your butt, I will get you. If not you than someone close to you. You may get pardoned but I will laugh-- LAUGH HA HA HA as your bunkmates, brothers and other co-op brethren are exsanguinated in full view of the whole country. I will expound endlessly on exactly how pleasant the experience was.
And I will talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk— but I will say nothing. It will mean NOTHING! Do you understand me, turkey? Why doesn’t anyone understand me?
Sorry about the forum. I claim caffeine deficit. As to the thread title, a moment’s thought would tell you that a governor can’t pardon a senator. Hence: JOKE!
