Oh dear. A kerfuffle. Turkeys slaughtered while the governor yaks on. Is this a major faux-pas, or, as Mark Steyn called it, “a great teaching moment”? I admit I don’t think it’s so great a backdrop for a media availability. But the reactions of horror from sophisticated urbanites who blanch at the mere idea of blood (what do they do these people, eat animals that aren’t dead yet?) make me giggle. And I’m a latte-drinking urbanite myself.
I think I’ll be on Sarah’s side this time again (what, you’re surprised?). Here’s the video. Warning: it’s a bit gross.

Loved the way Palin is offset so that the camera has a good view of the turkey killing, while the reporter continues to ask inane questions. And people wonder why Harper has an adversarial relationship with the media.
