Turkey Times

You may have heard that the New York Times equated killing turkeys for consumption on our national holiday with capital punishment. Greg Gutfeld of Fox News has published an excellent response to this latest ludicrousness from the Old Gray Whore:

So last week Sarah Palin gave one of her best interviews ever. It was smart, quick and articulate. Too bad that just a few yards behind her, a man was breaking a turkey's neck.

Did I say "too bad?" I meant "even better."

Look, I'm like you when it comes to animal cruelty: I'm against it until I'm hungry. But I like this video for one key reason: It ruffled the feathers of the wispy New York Times, which voiced their displeasure in an editorial stating, "You don't have to be a huge animal lover to question why Governor Palin chose to be interviewed… while turkeys were being executed in the background."

At this point, I was going to write something snarky about the New York Times staff, but Greg beat me to it in grand style:

And speaking of giant turkeys, what of Big Bird, the star of "Sesame Street"? He's not a turkey, of course, but without turkeys, he'd be nude. His costume is actually made of 4,000 turkey feathers, all dyed the color of The New York Times editorial board.

Bravo, sir!

Enjoy your Turkey Day, and remember to stock up on toilet paper so that your family members can dispose of the digested turkey in a sanitary fashion. Or just make a trip by the local news stand and acquire a copy of the New York Times to leave in the bathroom; it's got to be good for something.
