President Bush Pardons Turkeys

POSTED: 5:55 am CST November 22, 2006
UPDATED: 10:53 am CST November 22, 2006

WHITE HOUSE -- President George W. Bush performed a White House tradition Wednesday.

Before he could enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner, the president had some important business to attend to.

In an annual ritual dating back to Abraham Lincoln's time, some lucky turkeys, Flyer and Fryer, were spared turning up as dinner.

Bush gave a presidential pardon to two turkeys Wednesday, sending them to live out the remainder of their lives in a park.

1. Pathetic he has compassion for a turkey, but not a care in the world
for the thousands and thousands of people he's killed off in Iraq, including almost 3,000 U.S. soldiers.

That just struck me when I looked at this photo.
