Title: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Soln on November 21, 2008, 11:28:11 AM Comedy gold. Fast forward to 1:00 ftw!

Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Soln on November 21, 2008, 11:32:11 AM no worse. Won't give it away
Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Special J on November 21, 2008, 11:38:23 AM I think that news station is a bigger embarrassment.

Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Special J on November 21, 2008, 11:54:21 AM Ok, let me clarify: in the big picture, nothing could be a bigger embarrassment than her. But this is an example of a supposed news program that is really little more than sensationalist hacks. I guess they didn't have any fresh studies on how all our children were in danger.
Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Grimwell on November 21, 2008, 03:47:34 PM Why is this embarrassing? Really... as this was meant for the Political forum from the moment it was posted...
I ate meat today at lunch and have no illusions where the turkey's I'll have next week come from. That's the price of entry and trying to make this an embarrassment to Palin because she didn't hide from the icky parts is silly. We all know that the turkey that is pardoned never makes it past dinner time anyway, it's symbolic. Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Engels on November 21, 2008, 04:02:42 PM Its embarassing because turkey pardons are a political fluff piece that everyone knows it just for cutesey effect and has no other meaning to even the most naive viewer. Palin shooting a butchering in the background right after the fluff piece would be the equivalent of Bush standing in front of Mission Accomplished and in the next shot being mortar shelled in the Green Zone. Its not like he fooled anyone in the first place, but damn, be a LITTLE circumspect.
Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: lac on November 22, 2008, 09:55:14 AM What is this turkey pardon? Is it a symbolic gesture in which you pardon yourself by setting one bird free so you can munch his siblings without guilt?
Title: Re: Turkey pardoning - Palin style Post by: Triforcer on November 23, 2008, 11:35:03 PM I don't think that story implies that the individual turkey she pardoned was actually slaughtered. When this is done at the White House, the pardoned turkey is actually shipped off to some petting zoo for life, not eaten.
