Bush Pardons Two Turkeys

Wed, November 26, 2008 - 11:23 AM

Moments ago, President Bush spared two turkeys the indignity of ending up on a Thanksgiving table, issuing full, unconditional pardons to "Pecan" and "Pumpkin" in the Rose Garden of the White House.

These pardons were non-controversial, as were the 14 he issued on Monday that absolved actual humans of actual crimes. The more interesting and controversial pardons are likely being saved for his last few weeks in office, if history is a guide.
