She just can't help herself can she? It's been 24 days since the US election was won by Barack Obama and yet Ms Sarah Palin keeps her comedy show on the road. Since loosing the election with John McCain nearly a month ago, Palin has managed to stay on our screens to an admirable degree. She's even threatening to run for President next time round. We'll look forward to that Sarah!
But now the Telegraph in the UK reports that she did a TV interview whilst Thanksgiving turkeys were being killed right behind her. This will certainly help to support the mad woman impression she gave off throughout the month of October. She's obviously not going to fade into the snowy background. The video from her local TV station has ended up on YouTube and shows her casually chatting to a reporter about Thanksgiving, whilst turkeys are being slaughtered literally behind her. The man doing the slaughtering appears to be quite delighted at this media attention also. His trousers and the ground beneath him look like they are covered in blood.
Now it's not the slaughtering of the turkeys that I have the problem with, it's more the fact that she didn't seem to even notice this was going on behind her. Either that or she did notice and didn't see the problem. In a typical Palin statement, when asked what she will be doing on Thanksgiving Palin responds 'I'll be in charge of the turkey...I'm where I need to be today to prepare for that'.
You can view the video for yourself at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-kjM1asH-8. You'll need to watch it twice, once to watch the background, and once to figure out what exactly Palin is talking about....

Hello Fiona,
I just discovered your weblog and this interesting piece about Sarah Palin. It appears that she hasn't learned anything from her defeat on November 4th.
As it happens, I have investigated this strange woman, her background and her 'making' for quite some time.
As you are going to become a journalist yourself, you might find my exclusive report about the way she was prepared for her role as 'running mate' of some interest.
You can find it under this URL:

Very interesting and comprehensive piece Emerald Islander! Here's hoping the fiasco is dead and buried by the time 2012 rolls around.
