The Palin Pardon Problem

Didja see the controversial turkey pardon by Sarah Palin? I'm not shy about criticizin the Alaskan governor, but this case I concur with Wonkette—the real problem is the squeamish, convention-bound coverage that (as far as I can tell) censored footage that was actually innocuous, makin it seem much more sensational than it actually was.
