Sarah Palin Interviewed as Turkeys Slaughtered in Background
November 21st, 2008I really do need a WTF? category.
I’ve watched a fair amount of television in my life, but I don’t ever recall seeing anything like this.
There were the National Geographic-type nature documentaries that showed creatures being torn apart by lions, etc. But this feels more like B-roll from Twin Peaks, or some other weird David Lynch project. At least the guy running the killing cone wasn’t a dwarf… Or a giant.
There’s no longer any point in being a satirist: Real life is enough of a parody of itself these days!
She totally knows what she’s doing there. They didn’t sneak up with the camera and happen to place her at that angle. It’s like passive aggressively taunting a vegetarian or someone who is out of touch with their meat.
At least that looks like a traditional farm somewhat. With regular thanksgiving industrial lots, I picture workers draining several birds per minute.
I laughed so hard I think I may have ejected one of my lungs.
Someone I know with a moronic sense of humor said- “She can drain my turkey anytime!”
Seriously. This seems quite symbolic, considering what’s coming down the pike next year with the economy et al.
Ben Franklin wanted the national bird to be a turkey. Seems like it would’ve been a more appropriate choice.
Politics is for the birds.
