If it bleeds, it leads   [Mark Steyn]

I didn't think I could like Sarah Palin more than I do, but the nancy boys at MSNBC bleating all over the screen about the Great Turkey Carnage is hilarious. This is a great caption:

 TURKEYS DIE AS GOVERNOR PALIN TAKES QUESTIONS FROM MEDIA

Or was it: MEDIA DIE AS GOVERNOR PALIN TAKES QUESTIONS FROM TURKEYS.

After she's sworn in in 2013, I hope President Palin arranges for a ritual turkey slaughter to be going on behind her at every press conference, if only during David Shuster's questions.

Tim Blair has a good round-up of reaction.

Definitely something we want to look into. Maybe we could have her talk about her policies regarding foreign relations while chopping a side of moose into appropriate cuts for barbequeing later.

I haven’t seen this interview, but I heard about it, and it made me laugh like no other. Life is so funny.

Gotta love Steyn. He'd by my speech writer in a heartbeat and worth every penny.

I wonder if the back story is that the newsies positioned Sarah with some story about the lighting, etc.? I wouldn't put it past them for a minute to manufacture something like that.

They criticize here for supposedly being naive but they don’t seem to understand that something has to die if they are going to have a turkey dinner.

I think Sarah is sending a definite message to the other side.

Best part of it all is when the reporter asks if “anything else will be heading for the chopping block” - I LOVE IT!!!!!

Gotta love Thanksgiving - gobble-gobble-gobble!

Shuster obviously wasn’t raised on the farm, or around a flock of pullets being used for fryers for a family.

Thank-you Mark Steyn for showing me the humor in this!

I was so mad at what they did to her, I couldn't see straight.

God bless her....she really gets into their melons, as Dennis Miller would say.

Well, I suppose that David Shuster must have turned green at the spillage in a Kenyan village on the night of Nov. 4th:

In Obama's Kenyan Village, an Election Day 'Bloodbath' - TIME

Blood flowed as Election Day dawned in Barack Obama's ancestral village in western Kenya. The presidential candidate's half-brother Malik tied a bull to a tree, then hobbled it, and asked me to hold the beast's head to the ground as he drew a machete across its jugular. "Hold this guy down now," said Malik, 50, eyeing the animal's horns as blood poured from its throat like an open tap. "He could kill me now." After five minutes, the blood flow began to slow, and the fight went out of the animal, which stopped kicking and lay still, breathing heavily. "O.K., it's over," said Malik. "Fine animal too."

The cure for the spread of Blue Blight is Conservatism.

I’m sorry. I suppose that on some level, this should be embarrassing for her and her supporters (of which I decidedly am one), but for the life of me, I personally can’t bring myself to give a damn. As I said before, there are some folks who when they first heard that she field-dresses moose, thought that meant she drapes a sassy little cocktail number over them.

Heh, I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one fond of using the phrase nancy-boy to describe the media and the rest of the Obama adoring “men”.

Gov. Palin and the rest of us will enjoy a nice turkey dinner this thursday. The nancy-boys will still be involved in negotiations with the turkey about Thanksgiving dinner come spring.

The charm of Sarah is that she never thought to be aware that she was standing where she was. She has no guile. This is the way the world works. Where do people think their Thansgiving turkey comes from. It's part of not being a phony.

What a hypocritical little sissy that "journalist" on the video is.

Where does he think that cooked turkey on his dinner table came from, the Magical Land of Noom? Or does he eat beans and rice on Thankgiving?

Idiot.

People. really, how gullible are you?

It's not Governor Palin. It's Tina Fey. The turkey chopper guy being played by Michael Moore should give a clue.
