The interview from deep within hell!

Ich could brecken. Barf in German or any language.

The video has to be all over The Internets this morning, but my advice…watch it at your own peril or before you’ve eaten.

As governor of Alaska, it’s part of Sarah Palin’s governorly duties to pardon a Thanksgiving turkey.

And pardon the big guy she did after a lengthy speech on revering all critters, big and small.

As if that bit of hypocrisy weren’t enough to make you brecken all by itself.

This from a woman who shoots medium-size creatures from helicopters, and is considering giving hunters the right to do the same thing to larger, more exotic beasties.

This big bird didn’t get the axe, but all the other Toms and Tomalinas did.

Right there.

In front of god and everybody, cameras rolling, Shotgun Sarah gave a post-pardon interview to the local TV station, while behind her Tom’s kith and kin were being slaughtered one by one.

Knowing Keith Olbermann and staff’s penchant for the macabre, weird, other worldly and the ridiculous, it wasn’t surprising that it was the fifth story on Countdown last night.

David Schuster, subbing for K.O., gave the audience plenty of warning that the bloody massacre was coming and averting the eyes by the faint-hearted and getting the kiddies the hell out of the room was well advised.

Even though I couldn’t watch, I wished K.O. had been there to do the narrating, because as good as Schuster is, he doesn’t do K.O. as well as K.O. does K.O.

I’m listening -- eyes averted -- while the Toms are getting kayoed and I hear rollicking laughter coming from the bedroom next to my office where my eldest is languishing in bed nursing a broken foot.

It was the same kind of laughter that erupted from all of us the night we were watching TV and Arizona’s Randy Johnson let loose one his amazing fast balls, only to have it annihilate an errant pigeon as their flight paths crossed.

Yeah, you’re right. It made the sports highlight reel that night, and we still laugh when we think about feathers, feathers everywhere and the horrified look on Johnson’s face.

No fears about brushing back a batter Johnson, but the bird from hell that came out of nowhere was a whole different story.

Back to Sarah. Knowing where she was and seeing the slaughter apparatus behind her, it never occurred to the small town gal with a brain to match, that being interviewed with all that in the background, deserved some second thinking.

Even after the TV crew asked her if it would be okay, she responded with something like: It’ll be fine, don’tcha know. No worries.

Somehow me thinks the TV crew didn’t completely explain why it wasn’t such a swift idea.

You bettcha!
