1. Yes. A few months back....but,

I guess that was just a commutation.

2. He has quite the flock of turkeys to choose from...

His Cabinet is filled w/them, as is the Justice Dept, FEMA, Homeland Security...Oh wait, you meant the actual bird...my bad...:blush:

[librechik]

3. We've got the turkey trained to go right for the nads

[marmar]

5. And the turkey is still searching for them!

:evilgrin:

[librechik]

7. yep--every year he tries again--mocking Bush for his pardon...

[Mnemosyne]

8. And I always thought that poor bird was giving *

a bj to help along his 'pardon'.

[woodsprite]

4. They haven't found him yet. He's still in an undisclosed location. n/t

6. Nope,

Alberto hasn't even been charged yet!

9. I thought that the President couldn't pardon himself

[TahitiNut]

10. Yes ... he pardoned the turkey for killing Armenians - then condemned it for chasing Kurds.

:dunce:

11. The White House claims Executive Privilege on that question

and the turkey does not have to testify on the issue of pardons due to National Security concerns.

[flvegan]

12. That comes right after the Presidential Choking of the Chicken

[VP505]

16. What a

fowl thought.

[Lisa]

19. especially when the guy has such few and poultry scruples (n/t)

[malaise]

13. Word is that this year the turkeys have decided not to

pardon Bush for high crimes, treason, misdeamors, criminality, war crimes, lying to Congress, other lies, doublespeak, Bushspeak, clusterfucks, cronyism, nepotism, and a host of other things.
Coming soon to a table near you - A burnt Bush with Crancheney sauce!!

15. Critics Call Presidential Pardon "Soft on Turkeys"

WASHINGTON, D.C.- In keeping with a long-standing Thanksgiving tradition, President George W. Bush pardoned Stars, a 15 pound turkey from Southern Missouri. However, several conservative lawmakers openly criticized Bush for a law enforcement policy they claimed was "soft on turkeys." They asked how, in the middle of a war on terror, the President could offer a blanket pardon to an enormous carnivorous bird without consulting the attorney general or even running a background check.

17. turkey's have bald heads like Jeff Gannon, so Bush might have other uses for the gobbler

[Berry Cool]

18. Rather than pardoning the turkey this year

he is going to waterboard it to see if he can get any terrorist intelligence out of it.

"But, ya see, Ah have to...can't you hear that tickin' tahm bomb...Ah gotta act FAST..."

"Um, Mr. President, that's not a ticking bomb, it's an oven timer."

[Dr. Strange]

20. He pardoned the turkey, saying, "It's going to come live with us."

The turkey responded by saying, "Anyone want a drum stick? Please, kill me!"
