While Gov. Palin was interviewing (after pardoning Tom Turkey) several turkeys were noted to have heart-attacks or stroke in the back drop. Tom Fowler, the owner of these ill-fated turkeys, said they had been particularly stressed this November with the election results and the prospect of the upcoming holidays.
The event was a sad day in the news especially if you had to see David Schuster's mortified response on MSNBC.
