I think the most interesting thing about the video is the way people respond to it and I think it illustrates a clear disconnection with what is real and the fantasy many Americans try to surround themselves in. Americans want to eat turkey, but don't want to know how it gets to the table for them to enjoy. It reminds me of the Obama campaign in the fact that he promises a free turkey for everyone but won't tell us how the turkey is going to get to our tables.
Palin is simply an earthy person who is not phased by what is real. We know that in order to eat turkey, there has to be some blood spilled. If the media was shocked, they shouldn't show the video. I bet the media folks in New York even have a problem going to a local fresh fish market, further cementing the notion in my mind that they are elitist snobs. I would love to see a documentary of Palin on a hunting trip, where she bags a moose, dresses it, takes it home and makes some chili. Gee whiz, I like this lady.
Reminds me of Roosevelt:
