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!'"
INSIDE EDITION viewers seemed to agree, sending in e-mails following our coverage of the incident which has ruffled some feathers.
In an e-mail, one INSIDE EDITION viewer said: "It was a turkey farm...of course they butcher them there."
Another said: "Where do you think the turkey you buy at the store comes from?"
My two cents: Turkeys a/k/a Gobbling Goebbels
He should ask the bimbos in this video. Their answers would be amusing.
Attention, Farmer Tomes:
You have offended both PETA and the drive-by’s.
Your media anal exam will scheduled shortly. Just ask Joe the Plumber what to expect.

The media is all wound up about a couple turkeys being killed, but they are not only oblivious, they wholeheartedly support the killing of 50 million babies since 1973.
This set-up was deliberate.
And there are people who seriously think that Palin will be back on a national ticket.
She is being destroyed by the Left. The Sheep will only remember the jokes and the mockery. They will no more remember anything good about Sarah any more than they can remember last years’s “Survivor” winner.
Great point!
This PDS is nuts, I’m trying to watch the Saints and out of nowhere Kornheiser takes a gratuitous slap at her. Mr. Tony K looks like a turkey that’s had it’s neck wrung. Football ain’t even safe.
I believe that she will be the GOP nominee- if she wants it, and if she works for it- It’s her’s to win or lose.
Sadly, I fear you are correct.
The only people paying attention are her overprotective groupies - and they are the most gunshy herd of fillies ever born. She’s not being “destroyed,” “dinged,” “dented,” or even mildly “scratched.”
She will be back. She will overcome. She is a gamer, not a quiter.
“And there are people who seriously think that Palin will be back on a national ticket.”
Half the ‘journalists’ engaged presently may be laid-off and forgotten by her next campaign but they have made Sarah unforgettable.
SOME of us will fight, Sir, so that she may have that opportunity.
Perhaps you will join us.
Joe the Plumber is yesterdays news.
Today’s news is Brian the Butcher.
Palin is no longer the “fresh-faced” girl of conservatism. She is now 0-1 on the national scene. Only one candidate has ever come back from the grave like this, and that was Biden.
The damage ios already done, because The Sheep associate Sarah with SNL and a failed campaign. In the minds of The Sheep, who are Leftists, she is damaged goods.
Wow - pretty sad stuff. This is how America got the president-elect it got. Whether your country or mine, people should have to qualify to get to vote. Uninformed air-heads should not be allowed to decide the direction of any country.
“Where do you think the turkey you buy at the store comes from?”
Don’t they come from the same place that those ‘Magical Pigs’ come from?
You know...those animals that give us bacon AND ham AND pork chops!
What a bunch of clueless dorks. Sad to see them still picking on Sarah. She’s going to have a steep hill to climb come 2012...the MediaPukes are making SURE of that, aren’t they? Jerks.
” She is being destroyed by the Left. The Sheep will only remember the jokes and the mockery. “
Absolutely.
I was amazed and disgusted by the number of people who told me they were voting McCain despite that “ stupid “ Palin on the ticket.
Or they were voting Obama because they were frightened of the “ stupid “ Palin.
I wanted to get some scores late the other night and while flipping through the channels,
landed on Conan O’Brien.
Out of curiousity to see if he touched on Obama, I endured a few minutes of his unfunny monologue.
Only Palin and Bush were ridiculed as idiots to the hilarity of his audience.
Tivoed SNL for the same reason.
Nothing on Obama.
Two different references within a couple of minutes during Weekend Update to the “ stupidity “ of Palin.
I’m sure Leno and Letterman do likewise every..single.. night.
