Pardoned Turkey Is Going to Disneyland
Quote:ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- President Bush has made the traditional pardon of a Thanksgiving turkey today. But this bird isn't heading to some petting zoo. It's going to Disneyland.
The 35-pound Tom Turkey will be grand marshall of the Disneyland Thanksgiving Day parade.
And the big bird is flying west in style. After the reprieve on the White House lawn, the turkey and it's alternate will be given a police escort to a Washington-area airport.
From there they'll fly first-class to Los Angeles. After the parade duties are over, the turkeys will live out their days at a Disneyland ranch.
They finally found a task Bush has the intellect for. A turkey pardons a turkey. :wink:
Odd but that is what I said when Clinton pardoned a turkey...8 years running.
