Turkey Murdered in Palin Video Auctioned on Ebay

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
The doom-struck bird and his seller

The bird you watched get slaughtered behind an oblivious Sarah Palin, as she spoke to a reporter, is all cleaned up and now being auctioned off on eBay for $225.

The seller of the famous bird is the owner of Triple D Farms in Palmer, AK, where Palin pardoned a different bird a few days before Thanksgiving. The seller writes in the eBay description that this is the "official turkey from the video" and the winner will receive "a letter of authenticity" that proves it.

While $225 is a hefty sum for a post-Thanksgiving turkey, that chunk of change will at least get you a big bird — he weighs 37.75 pounds. Not convinced you should bid? Fifty percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Department of Veterans Affairs in support of our troops. As the owner (who we think can pass for a Santa Clause impersonator) writes: "This is your opportunity to gobble up a slice of Alaskan history."

Gobble away! Then, fall sleep like a baby from the tryptophan.

wowOwow is asking the winning bidder to come forward and share your turkey recipe with us …

Not sure I believe it is the true turkey, maybe a birth certificate authorized by the Alaska Supreme Court.

Number One EBay bidders. You DO NOT know that the turkey you are bidding on is the actual turkey in the Palin clip. They can claim whatever they want. Letter of authenticity….yeah right. And it’s a balmy 90 degrees here in the Midwest right now. And Number Two EBay bidders. Why would you want to buy a turkey from this man? You can simply donate directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs and avoid putting cash in the pocket of such a demented individual. I understand slaughtering animals is what he does for a living and therefore shouldn’t be expected to do so in a shroud of sadness and regret over their deaths. But he seemed to enjoy his job a little to much for my taste.

First of all, why are we still talking about this? Palin wasn’t oblivious—she knew exactly what was going on behind her! And second, a recipe? Am I the only one offended by that? Seriously, a recipe. I guess because we are women. Even a website devoted to women is an equal opportunity offender.

Do you see the things that sell on Ebay during the Jay Leno bit??????? This will sell. Kermie, I like recipes—especially is both easy and delicious. That’s why I like my pot roast recipe so much. If I didn’t have to peel potatoes or slice the meat, I would love this recipe.

Back when I was a kid, when we cut off a chicken’s head, we would toss the severed head back in the pen and watch her fellow hens peck it to pieces. Kinda like you lib gals and Sarah.

I bought the unpardoned turkey. We named it Dinner. The pardoned turkey’s name is Thanksgiving; named by the Governor. (still at the farm awaiting transfer) We had a great time visiting Triple D Farm Saturday and yes we got the tour. Bottom line, as I told Anthony, the owner, I support Soldiers, Vets, the Governor, and small business. I am a retired Army Vet in Alaska. Merry Christmas everyone. God bless you and our great Nation, our Soldiers in harms way and our elected leaders. 6lane in Alaska

“wowOwow is asking the winning bidder to come forward and share your turkey recipe with us …”I have never cooked a 38 lbs turkey but we did cook a 28 pounder stuffed before Thanksgiving. My wife has a great stuffing recipe. It starts with fresh ground corn and fresh baked cornbread. I told her we have to stuff this bird. Not sure how long it will take to cook stuffed but I expect all day. Dinner is in the freezer right now… 6lane in Alaska
