First it was moose, then wolves, then polar bears. Now, it is a turkey. It comes as little surprise that this has made headline news and that the video is attracting more views on YouTube than GOP dollars Sarah Palin can spend in Saks. This interview has become more viral than the avian flu.
It's no secret that Sarah Palin believes that all of God's creatures are meant for hunting, although you can hardly call this hunting. Unless she's hunting for publicity right before Thanksgiving--in which case, someone whip this woman up a plate of food for a job well done!
Be warned: The video is a little disturbing. If you are a vegetarian, forget about it. If you belong to PETA, get ready to scream at your PC.
