Funny because it is reality

The editors of The New York Times have a problem with Sarah Palin.  The sentence should end there.  But they are a newspaper so the sentence can't end there:

"But we also worry a bit about, how should we put it, the persona she has brought with her to national politics. We did not care at all for the swipe she took against community organizers at the Republican National Convention.

And then there’s this. You don’t have to be a huge animal lover to question why Governor Palin chose to be interviewed — while issuing a traditional seasonal pardon of a turkey — while turkeys were being executed in the background."

The editors presumably eat turkeys that are dispatch, er, uh, in giant turkey factories?  Or maybe they eat tofu turkeys.

I actually got a chuckle out of the clip.  I think Palin is either so used to this stuff that she doesn't care or she does it just to irritate.  Either way, I like the style:



Even better, this Thanksgiving, why not kill three birds in one meal by trying a turducken?

Read the rest at Hot Air.

Update:  Tim Blair's take.

      Luke, there is nothing I would rather have but I am afraid that you may be disappointed.  Kate picked up the turkey yesterday.  But I should warn you that it had been killed when she picked it up.
