Keith Olbermann reminds me of that scene from Ghost World where Ileana Douglas knocks over that kid's stick project and all the sticks fall all over the floor.

I'm ashamed of myself. I thought Keith looked really hot in that clip.

Martha Stewart is fucking awesome. That woman is pure gangster. She did the crime, she did the time, and now she's back on TV, cold cookin' dinner like she never went to prison. I agree with nearly everything Keith Olbermann says, in this clip and otherwise, and I still find him to be a sanctimonious douche. Oh yeah, Sarah Palin is a vacuous, comically villanous clown and turkeys are delicious (when not overcooked, Mom).

Why the fuck is this guy everywhere now? If I see him guest star on Yo Gabba Gabba, it will not be a good day, sir!

I thought they had panned in on her face

No no, Brian, the second unit assistant director had key gripped her close-up, and the best boy was dollying the boom mic over to craft services. Additional 'film jargon' here.

Oh come on. Martha knows they get slaughtered, Olberman knows they get slaughtered, we all know they get slaughtered. The thing is; it's completely disrespectful to the poor turkey's soul to be slaughtering him on camera while Palin squawks away in the foreground. Presumably, this is why human executions are not televised.

At my brother's in-laws, I once ate a turkey for Thanksgiving who had chased me around the yard two weeks beforehand. Yum-yum.

It's not that there aren't any aborphanages in Alaska, it's just that it would be really difficult to time it correctly, for something like a ribbon-cutting. I mean, you have to make sure that that you've successfully killed the mother -- and father, should he accompany her -- before the abortion, so as to make it an orphan. But! If you wait too long, the fetus will die without intervention, thus ruining the whole abortion part. It's really quite tricky.

Agreed - Sarah Palin pardoning a turkey while gleefully standing in front of some bizarre guillotine while turkeys are beheaded...was so surreal you would think it was a skit from "Kids in the Hall" or "The State" or something else with a wry sense of humor.

It boggles the mind how uncouth and unaware she is. And yes, it is ready-made satire.

@JinxyMcDeath: It was just about one of the best things I've seen in a while. But, after a second viewing, I'm left with many questions. Was the sink red with blood? How exactly does that turkey beheading machine work? Was the machine making everything shake like it was or was it the turkey, struggling valiantly in his last moment of life? Is Keith's sweater 100% cashmere? And what does that turkey dude charge for moustache rides?

Oh, good lord, that video is truly something to be thankful for.

@downlow: I don't think that was a machine so much as a restraint. The movement came from the turkey. No automation, just a dude with a knife.

She's like the grim reaper of crap we love but don't want to know anything about. Is she going to show up at the Angus Beef farm and the Maple Bacon factory? What about the Willy Wonka snozzberry lab. I'd really like her to become a fat blueberry so we can send her to the de-juicer.

Heh.

I'm an Obama voter and even I have to say "play fair!" The turkey's being drained were NOT in the background, the videographer turned the camera during Palin's sound byte.

I find her as vapid as anyone, but she did get elected Governor of her state. Keith Olberman is a sports guy with delusions. The only election he ever won was being voted less annoying than Dan Patrick.

We won, act like we've been in the end-zone before!

@tillzen: and george w. bush got elected president of the united states! should we shut the hell up about what a fuck up he is, too?

she's a dangerous and stupid moron with aspirations to run our country, i think it's fair game to continue to point out how asinine and unaware she is if she's going to continue making a spectacle of herself to garner favorable attention for 2012.

Which is the more disturbing: Sarah Palin with turkeys being slaughtered in the background, or Keith Olbermann making demo-kitchen chit-chat with Martha?
