I guess I missed hearing about that part, 'cuz I never knew the turkey was fake in the 1st place! But no matter, 'cuz that isn't the issue: what really got to me was knowing that the President would go to all the trouble he did to make the trip & was able to accomplish it w/o being found out. Yeah, there was a close call, when Air Force One was spotted by another plane, but it worked out great!
I'll never forget how the crowd roared when President Bush walked out from behind the netting, & don't I remember President Bush getting a lil emotional while he was waiting for the crowd to die down? If there is any one positive moment I will remember in his Presidency (so far), it will hafta be this event. INCREDIBLE!!!
The turkey wasn't fake. It was a real turkey and it was a display turkey that wasn't for consumption. Sort of a centerpiece.
The troops ate real turkey and real Thanksgiving food but the display Bush held up wasn't eaten by anyone.
It was a big nothing that only DU wouldn't even care about.
