I was searching for that video a couple of days ago (annual tradition, dontchaknow), and after typing ‘Sarah Palin turkey’ into the search bar, Google helpfully offered some suggestions to refine the search: ‘massacre’, ‘fiasco’, and ‘slaughter’.
The other thing is that if you’re masochistic and actually listen to the whole damn interview, she babbles on about how important it is to her to go back and fight for Alaskans as their governor and so on and so forth. Six months later, of course, she resigned.

Watch that guy in the background. At first he just stands there awkwardly, aware that he’s in the shot and torn between wasting work time and ruining the Governor’s interview. Then he says to himself, “Ah, fuck it, I got work to do,” and resumes killing turkeys. A more conscientious worker than the almost-Vice president in the foreground.

Too bad she didn’t spend extra to get the Burberry “automatic choke the dumbass” scarf.
I tried to picture Palin dancing, btw, and it just wouldn’t come.

@? Martin: Didn’t LBJ give interviews while sitting on the throne? I’d rather listen to LBJ taking a dump than listen to whatever those sounds are coming out of Sarah Palin’s mouth.
Sometimes I’m ashamed of wasting neurons on her, but Palin is in my top 5 of the most loathsome public figures. Her and Rinse Pubics are so full of it I get hives just listening to them bs their way through interviews.

I’m thinking a WKRP/Sarah Palin Turkey mashup would be tons o fun.
My god. I haven’t actually listened to Sarah Palin in so long, I forgot why people use the phrase ‘word salad’ to describe her. Nothing she said went anywhere or connected to anything.

She managed to troll the whole country for almost a year. It was an amazing display of trollery.

Dunno about buttons – mostly surf with images turned off, so really never saw them even if they were once there.

The only thing that makes it better was the first year it appeared, on Keith Olbermann’s show, with punning commentary running along the bottom.
Good times.
