Apologies to resurrect recent history but this was just too good (and rather morbid so beware) to miss:

Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey at an abbatoir today to celebrate Thanksgiving, a full week beforehand. After pardoning the turkey, Palin partook in her favorite post-election hobby — answering questions from the media — while a turkey butcher worked in the background SLAUGHTERING A TURKEY IN A DEATH GRINDER, while smiling, a la Fargo. It is hilarious. Equally hilarious are the MSNBC captions in this clip, such as, “Gov. Palin Not Realizing Incongruity Of Her Words Versus Her Backdrop.”

The Clip

President's have been pardoning the Turkey since 1947. So, it is no surprise, governors do it too. After watching the video, you would think the media would have chosen a more sanitized spot?
