With Thanksgiving here, US President George Bush was asked to choose a turkey to receive the presidential pardon. Since Dick Cheney is on a family vacation waterboarding foreigners and the Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve Chairman are too busy “solving” the economic crisis by giving taxpayers' money to criminals, President Bush decided he would be the next best turkey to receive the pardon. That is until he found out he was also a lame duck, and ducks don't get pardons until Christmas. We're sure he'll find someone to pardon, as there's no shortage of turkeys in Washington.

In related news, Alaska governor Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey of her own this past week, completely oblivious to the slaughter happening right behind her as she did a television interview for the event. True to form, she didn't have a clue but still looked adorable in her $75,000 outfit. You can check out the interview below.
