Pardoned turkey's death untimely? Only to the naive
Washington (CNN) – Peace, one of two turkeys pardoned by President Obama last year, was euthanized Monday, according to an official who insisted the timing of the death - days before the Thanksgiving holiday - was not suspicious.
Rebecca Aloisi, vice president for marketing at the Mount Vernon Estate, confirmed that Peace had died after a weekend "illness." But Aloise knew neither the nature of the illness, the manner of death, nor what had been done with the remains of the large, edible bird.
"I appreciate where you're going with this," Aloisi told CNN. "But I assure you that these birds are extremely well cared for." The decision to euthanize the bird was made by a veterinarian in consultation with Mount Vernon's livestock department, she said.
Peace had served as the understudy for Liberty, another turkey, at the 2011 pardoning ceremony by President Obama. Obama chose to pardon both birds to spare them from the fate of the plate.

Did Obama watch this live on tape? Why did he not send in veterinarians earlier? Sources tell me the turkey requested care earlier but the death panels from Obamacare rejected his pleas for help.
I am writing John McCain to ask him to head up a select committee to investigate why a pardoned turkey was killed - did he know something about Benghanzi and is he being fed to Petraeus?
