Turkey man in Palin video is interviewed...

[Are_grits_groceries]

Though Inside Edition, America's Best Peabody-Award-Winning(?) Syndicated News-Resembling Program, tracked down the guy who actually slaughtered the turkeys, back there behind Sarah Palin, for a heartwarming Thanksgiving tale of redemption and Man's Dominion of the Earth.

For the first time, the world is now hearing from the man seen in the background of Governor Sarah Palin's visit to an Alaskan turkey farm.

Brian Tomes says he was just doing his job and "things happen."

Tomes was going about his gruesome task of slaughtering turkeys as Palin gave a TV interview, talking about her Thanksgiving plans.

The farmhand told INSIDE EDITION he didn't realize he could be seen as Palin was speaking. "I thought they had panned in on her face…I did try and block the process," he says.

The video has become a YouTube sensation with more than 2.2 million hits so far.

Tomes has worked at the Triple D Turkey Farm in Palin's hometown of Wasilla, Alaska for the past nine years. He says Palin is being unfairly criticized over the video. "The only thing I can say is, 'Don't mess with my Governor!'"

2. Oh dear god... he didn't even do it to her ON PURPOSE!

They really ARE that stupid up there, aren't they?

What is in the water in Wasilla???

13. I do think the cameraman did it on purpose, though.

He's an award winner, so I'm sure he knew what he was doing. But ultimately it boils down to Sarah and her handlers. As my dear friend and former House candidate Diane Benson says, a politician should ALWAYS know what's going on behind them, especially when they're being filmed.

19. Oh yeah.

That cameraman had such nice depth of field. :rofl:

4. Brian the Bloody!

LOL

[ColbertWatcher]

5. "he didn't realize he could be seen" Does he think he's invisible?

Oh, this is gonna be a great holiday season!

Palin refuses to go away and every person having the slightest contact with her is put in front of a camera and asked questions!

LOL!

7. unless the camera's pointed right at you...

...you can't really be sure if you're in frame. You may be able to see the front lens of the camera, but they could have a tight shot that puts you just out of frame.

And, considering he was slaughtering turkeys, it's understandable that he'd just assume they would adjust so he was out of frame.

[ColbertWatcher]

16. I think the only thing we can assume that since he slaughters turkeys ...

... he doesn't know if he's on camera or not.

A good rule of thumb when it comes to cameras lurking around: assume they're recording everything you're doing--including the sound.

Too many people who are supposed to be old hats at this don't quite get it.

I'm talking to you, Jesse Jackson!
