Dog Ruffles Feathers, Turkey Goes Free
The Story of a Presidential Pardon
Flyer and Fryer, the Whitehouse Thanksgiving turkeys received a presidential pardon this year after W's dog ruffled a few feathers. President Bush's Scottish terrier, Barney, got his exercise chasing the two birds around the Rose Garden this morning. President Bush remarked, "Instead of chasing the soccer ball, he chased the bird. And it kind of made the turkey nervous. See, the turkey was nervous to begin with. Nobody's told him yet about the pardon I'm about to give him."
In a ceremony that dates back to 1947, the president pardoned Flyer and Fryer, and sent them to Disneyland in California to be the honorary marshals of the Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Signafur crew!
