Bush should have called the two guests of honor “Milbank” and “Herman”.

[PJ-Comix]

Bush should have called the two guests of honor “Milbank” and “Herman”.

That's what he should do next year. Or call them "Dana" and "Milbank."

[rdl6989]

And putting these creatures into cages and whisking them off to Florida on an Airbus A320 has all the hallmarks of a CIA operation.

Is this loon series?

[woofie]

Gee, lets have an annual I Hate Bush Day

[Philo1962]

Why doesn't Little George pardon all of us in America and then go back to Texas or Disneyland or wherever? One more year of this nightmare.

[Sorry, Dana. It's 14 months ... On second thought, I'm not even sorry.]

[Cheburashka]

Or Gore and Kerry.

Reid and Pelosi.

Chavez and Ahmadinejad.

[franksolich]

Happy Thanksgiving to you, P-J, sir, and may it please God that you and all yours flourish and prosper!

That goes for everybody else too.

Better than under Clinton, when the economy also was good, generally.

The turkeys under the Clintons got the same treatment, but the media fawned over how cool and clever the Clintons were. As far as I know, the turkeys wound up in Ft Marcy Park, too.

[Paul Heinzman]

PETA has a point. Like Americans themselves, commercial turkeys are raised to be overweight; bred to have enormous breasts, they find it almost impossible to fly.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly

[Paul Heinzman]

PETA has a point.

Lots of pointy little heads.

[Paul Heinzman]

It was, quite literally, first-class treatment, but the scene still ruffled feathers at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The group sent Bush a letter asking him to send the birds not to Disney World but to a "credible farmed-animal sanctuary."

Did the letter begin "Dear *," "Dear chimp," or the more formal "Dear President Pissy-pants?"

[Paul Heinzman]

He was, perhaps, thinking of the long journey ahead of him.

Yeah, hell, I'll bet he was reciting Robert Frost's "On Stopping by the Woods on a Winter's Evening." "I have promises to keep/And miles to go before I sleep/And miles to go before I sleep."

It's a turkey, jackass!

[Paul Heinzman]

From the White House, the birds were driven in a police-escorted motorcade to Dulles Airport, where they were whisked to a private room in the United Airlines Red Carpet Club, before going to Gate C17 to board a United flight to Orlando, where they will be grand marshals of a Disney parade.

While en route, the turkeys enjoyed champagne and joined the mile-high club.

[Paul Heinzman]

Like Americans themselves, commercial turkeys are...bred to have enormous breasts...

Just like Pamela Anderson.

[Paul Heinzman]

Happy Thanksgiving, PJ and to all my fellow DUFUers. My turkey wasn’t as lucky as May and Flower. He’s currently spinning around and around in the rotisserie, all browned and drippy.

[Sapper26]

You are pardoning an innocent helpless Turkey?? What is it’s crime? What is it’s Sin? Rise to wisdom and don’t play God.

Like my pappy once told me: “Boy, it’s better to be on top of the food chain than one of the lower links”

[Charles Henrickson]

Pardon Me! The annual pardoning of the Thanksgiving turkey has gained new attention. . . .

I have a feeling he's not going to be able to stop cold turkey. . . .

[Charles Henrickson]

. . . since President Bush allowed the administration's most famous almost jailbird, vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, to fly the coop.

I was right! What a surprise!

[Charles Henrickson]

Somebody said the two birds should be named "Scooter" and "Libby."

You'd need a whole barnyard of birds to cover all the people Clinton pardoned.

[Charles Henrickson]

Ken Herman of Cox News feared that Bush would ship the birds off to Gitmo, where they would be "water-basted."

Or maybe they could be one of President Bush's faith-baste initiatives.
