PRESIDENT PARDONS "TURKEYS"




White House Nov 21 - President Bush, in what has become a White House Tradition, pardoned the official White House Turkeys, a tradition which this President enjoys so much that he has expanded it to two birds each Thanksgiving.
"If I eat these birds, the terrorists win," remarked the President in a Rose Garden ceremony packed with unusual pomp and circumstance. "So therefore, by the power vested in me, I hereby decree Presidential pardons for turkeys 'Scooter' and 'Gannyguck.' With a wave of his hand, he was off to the next event on his busy Holiday schedule, to award Medals of Freedom to distinguished civilian honorees Gobbler and Peckhappy.
