Sarah Palin went to a local turkey farm in Wasilla, in advance of American Thanksgiving, to pardon a turkey. That's a common thing for politicians to do. Its a PR stunt.
But then she proceeds to give an interview on camera, with the slaughter mechanism in the background.
The farm hand is slaughtering and bleeding the turkeys, during her interview.
I know where my meat comes from, and I'm not ashamed of that.
But here is Sarah Palin, completely oblivious to the irony that she was there to 'pardon' one while everyone sees what's going on in the background.
She just doesn't get it.

What a moron. I seriously wonder about her sometimes....I feel that I can't even take her seriously.
Yeah I recently read an article and I can't seem to find it right now, but it talked about these pardoned turkeys and after Thanksgiving is over etc they get to go live at Disneyland/Disneyworld and be part of a float.

She's just talking words again, like she did on the Katie interview. Using buzzwords and themes without any knowledge of the issues.
What a Barbie, lol.
I'm not even worried about the background. Just listen to what shes saying.
EDIT: Bush made a huge faux pas and massaged the German Chancellors shoulders in a weird male/female dynamic at an important meeting. I wonder if Palin would try a lap dance on Gorden Brown.
I love the slaughter-er just standing there, wondering if he should push the button or not. Walks away, in my imagination to ask someone if he should be killing the birds in front of the camera, and probably being told do his job, and walking back and getting to work.
Sarah Palin is concerned about the middle class like 'Joe the Slaughter-er'.

I would think it would be the cameraman's job to pick a background to the interview that wouldn't distract.
I would think it would be the job of a US State Governor to be aware that an animal is being slaughtered directly behind her. She does have ears, afterall.

I don't have a copy of Alaska's constitution but, I'm willing to guess that it doesn't mention anything about second guessing a cameraman's choice of background for interviews. She was set up because the cameraman knew he could get money from MSNBC for the scene. Otherwise he would have stopped the interview and changed angle or asked the butcher to wait until he was done. The background should have been centered on the caged birds to the left. Why have the slaughter area at the center of the background.
As for Sarah Palin's ears: I'm sure they are fine. Probably the only birds that weren't making noise were the ones he was slaughtering. You turn a turkey or a chicken upside down and the blood rushes to their heads. They don't fight or make a sound.

I'd wager you're pretty much on the money here - something just a little too conspicuous about the whole thing.
