It was the perfect metaphor for the McCain-Palin campaign. As Sarah Palin tried to do a good thing -- pardon a turkey -- a turkey farmer went all Marie Antoinette on a bird in the background.
Mildly disturbing? You betcha!

2. Where do all of you idiots think the turkey on your plates comes from? Do you think a farmer just craps it into a package, and presto, perfect roasting turkey...You need to get out of the city TMZ...

6. Another example of her constant non-sequiter ramblings. She is SO unobservant. Such a space case. Yup, glad to be here, this is a fun thing to be able to do. Idjut.

8. Sick to do what? Get her turkey fresh instead of buying one that is frozen from the grocery store? A lot of Americans buy their turkey this way. If you can't handle the way something is killed for your dinner. Then I suggest that you just stop eating meat of all kinds and stop wearing leather and any product that is made from an animal.

9. If she is so oblivious as to what's going on behind her, that she gives an interview in front of someone slaughtering turkey's, thank God she is not in the White House. She barely takes a breath, she loves that camera. If she is aware of what the guys is doing, thank God, again. What a twit!

13. Stop defending killing chickens and turkeys to put on our plates. We know where our food comes from. They are simply pointing out the irony that she's there to pardon a turkey as does the president every year all while another turkey gets slaughtered behind her. I guess she pardoned the wrong one.

14. Yes, she was one of the reasons the Republicans lost the election, but, it's time to stop following her around and leave her alone. She's back in Alaska where she belongs taking care of things in her state and minding her own business.
TMZ, Let sleeping dogs lie.
