Thanksgiving would not be complete without the Palin Turkey Slaughter video. As she speaks to reporters, look over her shoulder. A man proceeds to slaughter less politically connected turkeys behind her.
Of course, Palin may be able to claim to have personally uncovered health code violations. Open-air slaughtering may be permitted in Alaska, but that place looks like an invitation for a surprise inspection.
I love how the turkey guy is watching eagerly as he stuffs a turkey head first in the machine. It is a powerful backdrop for Palin to recount her blessings of the year. I particularly like how Palin speaks of how brutal the campaign has been with the guy working over these birds in the background.
Enjoy and gives thanks that Palin is coming back into our political and social lives.
I was so amused when I wrote to Linda that my meanins were made unclear by typos. It should have read:
Linda,
How silly you are. Sarah doesn’t fill us Democrats with rage,she fills us with joy. I love that she’s around and that people like you love her. I love that fact so much I want to see her run for President. What a hoot that would be. As far as smart, well gee what have you got to prove that? Someone else wrote her book, she couldn’t survive softball interviews with Katie Couric, or Charles Gibson. she whines about anybody telling the truth about her, not like a pit bull hockey Mom, but like a Chihuahua. She goes to Billy Graham for mid-East foreign policy advice? Her husband was a card carrying member for ten years of a radical Alaska Secessionist movement. She bankrupted the town she was mayor of, which incidentally is the Chrystal Meth capital of Alaska and she couldn’t last out a full term as governor. Finally, she lies so much that she loses track of them and with sort memoried followers like you she gets away with it. Sarah is truly an amusement treasure for us liberals and as for her supporters, you have my condolences for being so terribly gullible.
“Most of the political problems we have today are created by those who are educated beyond their common sense.”
Ron,
Actually our problems todays are not caused by over educated people, but by people who despite their education are too lazy to be informed about the world. My father dropped out of school in 9th grade and my brother has only a high school degree, yet either of them are for more intelligent than Palin supporters. As far as degrees go George W had degrees from Yale and Harvard and you can’t get more educated than that, also many Republican leaders are at least as well educated as Democrats. You are merely repeating a Republican myth, spread to somehow get average people to believe that they have their interests at heart. The truth is that you all are being conned by them into thinking that Republican leaders care for anything more than taking care of the rich and powerful. Part of the Republican scam is to somehow convince people like you that they care for your interests.
I know you aren’t interested in history, but 5 years ago George W. Bush stood on a Texas stage, looking out at people who had paid thousands to be there and said:”Some people call you the Haves and the Have Mores, but I call you my base.” Are you one of the”Haves” or “Have More’s?”
“A powerful smart woman that drives Democrats crazy and liberals in rage”

answer to the questions
Ahhh, the coffee is almost ready. Yeah, coffee.
No common sense, eh? Then why in a recent Pew study are only 2% of American’s even interested in the harpy and her book? If 98% of those surveyed don’t find her compelling, well, it would appear that her supporters are indeed uncommon. Uncommonly stupid.

BTW Lil’ Sarah-trolls, “common sense” is just the latest phrase to be misused in the Propaganda War. Neocon code for “I’m too stupid to think or explain anything rationally so I’ll try to pretend you thinking I’m a clueless jackass is somehow your fault.” I hope you realize critical readers have picked up on this distinction already.
The fact that Palin used the term “common sense” repeatedly like some kind of mantra in her recent Limpbaugh interview wasn’t a tell at all. Because “common sense” is not an answer to the answers she was being asked. It’s called “evasion”. It’s what dumb people do to trick others into thinking they might be smart.
So if she’s your version of “common sense”, you can keep it.
Linda,
Why is it that when people make critiques of Sarah Palin’s qualifications they are accused of being sexist liberals? There have been quite a few conservatives who have voiced the same types of concerns about her abilities and qualifications.
Recently, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck called Senator Mary Landrieu a prostitute on radio and TV. Why no outcry from conservatives about their comments being sexist? I guess people like you perceive such talk differently when the shoe is on the other foot.
If Palin is such a superb leader–why did she decide not to finish out her first term as governor of Alaska? She sounds like a quitter to me. Or did she resign because she thought that there was more money to be made making speeches and writing a her autibiography?
I’m a woman in my sixties. Believe me when I say that I am not a sexist. I would love to see a qualified woman serve as president or vice president of the United States. Unfortunately, I don’t think Sarah Palin could cut the mustard in either of those offices. I believe she would be a political disaster for our country.
Laugh out loud all you want…whether you’re drinking the Koolaid or not. Insult our intelligence…if that’s what floats your boat.
BTW, all this conservative chatter about Sarah Palin driving Democrats crazy and getting liberals into a rage is a myth–one propagated by people like Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, and their ilk at FOX News.
MMmmm, Turley, for such an educated narcissus you must know that turkeys have to be slaughtered before you can prep them for your Thanksgiving Turkey. Don’t you have anything more substantive to say about our Sarah?
Most of the political problems we have today are created by those who are educated beyond their common sense.
Oh, gee.
I’m the target of propagandistic ire.
What ever will I do?
1) Sarah Palin isn’t qualified to run a state. Evidenced by the fact that
2) She quit. And was under multiple investigations for abusing her power before doing so.
3) Her proximity to Russia gives her exactly the zero qualifications to handle foreign relations with them. In fact, as a governor, she’s by law limited to the kinds of high level relations she can have with a foreign power. As a practical matter, even then she doesn’t have as much exposure to foreign policy as other governors. I’m willing to bet most of those cats from the Southwest will put their experience dealing with Mexico up against her experience dealing with Russia.
4) There is nothing wrong with my reading, troll. Unlike your capacity for understanding which is clearly limited.
5) Don’t come in here screaming kool-aid, you propagandist hacks. Every word that comes from your mouths is formed in someone else’s head. That’s why you can’t recognize free thought when you see it. Or you do and it pisses you off because you’re incapable of it. Either way, I don’t sound like a Neocon talking points memo so I got that going for me. Which is nice.
Now, in DETAIL, I want you two trolls to explain why Ms. Hot Pants McShootsALot is qualified to be anything other than a Hooters waitress? Can you? Because I’d really like to hear a good explanation of why she isn’t a clown. If she looked like Refrigerator Perry, she would be laughed off the ballot in every jurisdiction where people still possess any rudiment of reason.
Why is someone who 1) quit, 2) lies, 3) uses everyone she meets for her own gain including her family, 4) failed in a bid for Federal office and managed to kill a viable Presidential candidates bid by her ineptitude and hypocritical personal life qualified to be President when she hasn’t proven she can run a state? Why should she EVER be given any credence on the national stage? I mean other than you clowns like her Jesus Is American campaign style that is. Or her inability to answer basic questions about the world or her incurious nature or or or . . . the list goes on.
One of the roots of comedy is a dichotomy of circumstance: the fish out of water story.
Enjoy your fish.
Sarah Palin is a joke.
So are you, her supporters. I bet your Venn diagram overlaps with birthers quite a bit.
She’s a jello brained little Jesus Nazi with a gun fetish and penis envy with a succubus ridden family who would have been better off being raised by the wolves mommy so likes to shoot. She shouldn’t be allowed to run the register on weekends let alone a city, county, state or country.
So ya’ll get as indignant as you want.
My cat’s liter box is better qualified to run for office and full of the same high quality material as your Sarah. I can ridicule her for days. She’s an easy target. Ridiculous people – duh – invite ridicule. So do their supporters.
Oh, I’m sorry, I thought aware and intelligent people came to this site, I obviously was wrong.
filled with more who live in some made up world. Sorry for you all if you can onlly make up thiings to make yourselves feel better.
Have another drink. I hear there’s plenty of Koolaid to go around being many have been kicking the habit. lol
“Even if the Flying Wolf Killer lived on the shore, she’d have to be bionic or alien or something more exotic than just a hot red head to see Russia from her house.”
In her Sept. 11 interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson, Sarah Palin had this to say about Russia: “They’re our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.” Is that true?
Yes. Russia and Alaska are divided by the Bering Strait, which is about 55 miles at its narrowest point. In the middle of the Bering Strait are two small, sparsely populated islands: Big Diomede, which sits in Russian territory, and Little Diomede, which is part of the United States. At their closest, these two islands are a little less than two and a half miles apart, which means that, on a clear day, you can definitely see one from the other. (To see the view of Big Diomede from Little Diomede, check out this webcam.) The Diomede Islands are often blanketed by persistent fog, which makes visibility difficult. On a clear day, though, a person standing at sea level can see a little less than three miles across the ocean. You can see farther if you go higher—at the highest altitude on Little Diomede (919 feet), you can see for about 37 miles. (Between mid-December and mid-June, when the water between the two islands freezes, an intrepid explorer can just walk from one to the other.)
bravely point the finger and blame someone else because BIL’s not much of a reader.
snicker
Is that the same book tour she’s gotten booed on and had FOX get busted using old campaign footage to claim it was book signing crowds?
snicker
And for the record, the parts of Sarah that are objectionable are – well . . . should be – the parts between her ears. She’s a dim witted quitter who by all accounts has produced a book of half-truths and distortions according to those close to the campaign. Oh. I know. They are just being sexist too. It has nothing to do with Sarah being an incompetent nincompoop with all the ethical restraint of a rabid weasel. A woman unafraid to use her children as television props. To boldly do a totally half-assed job for the people of Alaska. Willing to bravely point the finger and blame someone else because she’s not much of a reader.
Never mind that we are discriminating against the superpowered. I know. Liberals are such persecuting bastards – that’s why liberal and liberty share a common linguistic root and women’s rights are a long time concern of liberals and libertarians both. Even if the Flying Wolf Killer lived on the shore, she’d have to be bionic or alien or something more exotic than just a hot red head to see Russia from her house. Let alone the fantastic psychometric power she has that allows her to judge the totality of not only Russia’s current state of affairs but the history leading up to it and their needs going forward by mere sight alone. Holy Shit! She should be on “Heroes”. Prof. X should be calling any second with a job offer to teach at the Institute. No kidding.
But let’s be clear.
Gender isn’t Sarah’s obstacle.
In fact, it’s probably the only reason she gets as much air time as she does. Dumb people are easily intrigued by sparkly objects. But people who live in reality find the idea of someone like her in a leadership position abhorrent because she’s not suited to lead jack squat. But her sex has nothing to do with that.
Unless you are intimating that all women are amoral weasels who quit like petulant children and then expect a better, more critical job as a reward for their under performance. Which would make you the sexist. And I’d have to call you out on that. I know a lot of fine capable women of good character as demonstrated by their actions.
Sarah Palin is not one of them nor does she possess the innate qualities required to become one (or she would have by now). But that isn’t a gender deficiency on Sarah’s part. She’d be out of her depth if she were a woman, a man, a hermaphrodite or just the hottest crossdreser to ever slink out of Anchorage, you betcha. She’s too dumb and narcissistic for the jobs she wants. She should aim lower. Like television host. That way when she screws up and/or quits she’s only leaving a production crew unemployed. Think about how well her semi-sweet chipperness and maverickyness would offset Glenn Beck’s sour insane rantings?
But the resistance to Palin IS NOT because she’s a woman.
It’s because she IS unqualified.
Hilariously so. If you think otherwise you are hilariously unqualified to evaluate leadership material and should stick to voting on “American Idol”. Leave the important things like governance to the adults.
If she served anything other than her ego, that proclaimed patriotism of her’s would shame her into not running for office for the good of the nation. She’s not up for the job.
I do give thanks daily for Sarah Palin, but probably not the same reason as the Sexist Liberals do.
A powerful smart woman that drives Democrats crazy and liberals in rage, because she’s a woman and not one of them. A populist that challenges their power. awwwe. lol
And while you all resort to typical sexist demeaning talk, sitting in your rooms plotting with anger, leaders like Sarah Palin, taking a brief break from her ROCKIN’ Book Tour to spend the holiday with family, will also be running in a Marathon today to benefit the Red Cross.
Cheers!
I hate the words and implications of “trailer trash” as unfair characterizations of people without much money. However, in the case of Sarah and her family there is just something so right about those words. Mike K your use of Paris Hilton in comparison is apt, but I don’t know how liberal she is. It also takes me off the “trailer trash” hook since Paris indeed also deserves that appellation despite her privileged background. Both of them are comparable to George W. Bush as people who are not per se stupid, but so self-involved as to have little curiosity about the rest of the universe they’ve be born into.
Isn’t Sarah Palin really the liberals Paris Hilton? Has anyone else had enough?
Ms. Palin always inspires me poetically.
Gobble, gobble, gobble,
Blah, blah, blah,
Who’s the TURKEY in the video?
The GOP’s new stah!
She blathers with a perky smile.
You betcha. Doncha know
That we should be like Sarah?
Rogue’s the only way to go.
I am Thankful I am not Sarah Palin.
Disclaimer:
If anyone does not get what they want for Santa, you can thank Sarah Palin. We have noticed an enormous amount of activity in the ridges. Most are carrying what is believed to be some sort of assault rifles. They have claimed that they are thinning the deer population however the reindeer are being caught in this subterfuge.
We believe that they are intentionally “taking” the reindeer for the Antlers. Not all of the reindeer have the ability to fly. They may accidentally hit one of these special reindeer. Please send a Request to Sarah Palin to Cease this Hunting Activity in the hitherland, laplands or if you prefer the North Pole.
Please pass this message to all people that are on your contact list.
The above was meant only as humor.
Cousin Sarah Palin — the gift that just keeps on giving.
I’m thankful for John Logie Baird, the inventor of the video camera. He’s ended more political careers that justly deserved to be ended than any group of assassins could ever aspire to touch.
One gets this stupid by:
A) Birth;
B) Drugs;
C) Living in Alaska;
D) Alcohol;
E) Being Governor;
F) A Major Head Injury (Trauma);
G) Auto Accident;
H) Lack of Oxygen:
I) Lack of proper Social Skills;
J) All of the above?
Tough turkey love.
Happy Thanksgiving all!
