Bush Getting Soft on Death Penalty!

[3113]

What happened to his old, Texas Governer stance of no death-penalty pardons?

Bush spared the turkey — named "Flyer" in an online vote — during a Rose Garden ceremony on Wednesday. The backup bird, "Fryer," was also pardoned but nowhere to be seen on this raw day.

The president explained that his Scottish Terrier, Barney, got involved this year. The presidential dog typically gets his exercise by chasing a soccer ball around the Rose Garden.

"He came out a little early, as did Flyer," Bush said. "And 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."

Bush announced that the birds would be sent off to Disneyland in California to be the honorary grand marshals of a Thanksgiving Day Parade, just like their predecessors a year ago.

If a Democratic President had pardoned that turkey and then sent it off to Disneyland, the GOP would have been all over the news blasting him for being soft!

I would have simply blasted the turkey and ate him for Thanksgiving.

No politics needed for that one

An animal rights activist who believes in laissez faire capitalism would say pardon the turkeys and eat the poor.

Johnathan Swift was a laissez faire animal rights activist?

Prob'ly stringy and with lots of gristle.

It was all a fake, Roxanne. Bush announced to all the unwashed adolecent faces that "flyer" was going to Disneyland after the cerimony yesterday. But either the plane will be shot down before it reaches California or the turkey will be arrested in Burbank on terrorism charges and shipped to Getmo for "interrogation"

All together now:

"Bush lied!"

Actually, Jen, I think George is going to send a stuffed turkey on the plane while...

He gives the Flyer to Cheney for a turkey shoot!

Oh, the horror.

Well in that case the Turkey will be completely safe. (Ubless he falls over dead from laughing.)

Please warn me when you find out in which state he will be hunting?

But the Turkey will have to witness the senseless shooting of all Cheney's friends! Do you know the psychological damage that can do to an innocent bird?
