[Excerpt transcribed by me from my videotape]
President Bush's remarks:
"...The voters cast ballots on the White House website. It was a close race -- you might say it was neck and neck.
When all the votes were counted, Biskets, and his running mate, Gravy, prevailed over the ticket of Patience and Fortitude.
The Vice President and I are here to congratulate Biskets for a race well run.
It came down to a few battleground states. It was a tough campaign.
Even some 527's got involved -- including "Barnyard Animals for Truth".
There was a scurrilous film that came out called, "Farenheit 375 degrees @ 10 minutes per pound".
[But] now's the time for healing ..... ...for the sake of our feathered guests ...."...
The 2004 Thanksgiving Turkey is then pardoned by President Bush.

Bad jokes are meant for these pictures.
Thanksgiving version of choking your chicken, err turkey in this case.
How about "President Bush has a little heart to heart with Chirac"

I think he's learned to hold on to the head after the first turkey he pardoned pecked him in an unmentionable area.......quite a surprised look on "W" face IIRC..............Anyone have pictures of our President's first Thanksgiving in the WH?
