Adventures in Hedonism

This video of Sarah Palin makes my Thanksgiving Day! I am unsure as to what happened here.  I know that with a little effort, the camera man could have shifted his position so that the disturbing, yet ironic image in the background was off-camera.  So….was there a discussion before hand where he was told to be sure and get the turkey slaughtering in the background?

If that’s the case, why?  Did Sarah Palin make this decision?  Was it to be funny (which is what I would have done)? I doubt it.  Was it to send some sort of message to the liberals who might be watching?  Maybe.  Was it to generate publicity such as this blog post?  Hm….is she that smart?

If she didn’t make the decision, was it just a sadistic camera guy who thought it might be good for a laugh? Or was it completely arbitraray? Something that no one in the situation gave a second thought to?

I think it might have been the producers from the local station that did the interview to drum up some publicity.  What do you think?
