Palin pardons turkey as worker slices turkey's neck behing Palin's interview

And we certainly will call for a special prosecutor in the Obama Administration to demand justice in Leon's shooting. Now we switch to another episode As the Caribou Barbie Turns:

Now Alaska Governor and failed Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin has mimed presidential tradition, but her effort at winged mercy was 'cut' short. As she staged an impromptu press conference after pardoning one lucky bird, a worker at the Triple D Farm and Hatchery in Wasilla sliced a turkey's neck, bled it out and twisted its head off behind the governor, directly in the camera's line of fire.

"Certainly we'll even invite criticism for doin' this too, but at least this was fun!" she pronounced.

On a side note: The video is on Raw Story from the Olbermann show. The slicing of the turkey by the worker is covered with a black strip so that the public doesn't see the gore. Despite it is squirm to watch, the twit continues to babble to the reporters.
