2. The turkey must have hated Bush too.
"In the Rose Garden, Stars punctuated nearly every sentence of the president's with a comment of his own as dozens of schoolchildren giggled, prompting Bush to remark: "Sounds like Stars wants to give the speech." "

No, maybe the turkey just wanted you to shut up!

4. Frankly, my dear...
...I'd name them "Main Course" and "Leftovers".

At least the "turkey pardon" is an established piece of ceremonial idiocy, not something cooked up by the Bushies by their own gruesome selves.

"Jive" and "Cold". Things he knows well.

6. You mean
You mean the turkey didn't bankrupt a huge corporation and rip off 10,000s of investors and he still pardoned him.

Geez who would a thunk it
