Sarah Palin: A little too grotesque to be believed?

Posted By Richard S. Drake on Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 5:44 PM

Well, isn’t this sort of thing usually done way from the fun and frolic of the other turkeys getting butchered? Is there something in the snow up there in Alaska?

Palin pardon amid turkey butchery

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has issued her traditional Thanksgiving "pardon" for one turkey - while other birds were slaughtered in the background.

The former Republican vice-presidential candidate was doing her governor's "duty" to save one lucky bird at a farm in Wasilla.

But in the video footage of Mrs Palin, a man can be seen butchering birds in the background.
Mrs Palin did not comment on the slaughter taking place.
