Turkeys ride looks, charm to White House; they won't be gobbled
(CNN) - Two White House-bound turkeys can thank good looks and personality for saving their lives.
The 45-pound birds endured months of rigorous training and rose to the head of a class of 20,000 feathered friends vying for a pardon from the dreaded Thanksgiving Day buffet.

I never understand why President's go through this ridiculous farce of pardoning a turkey... He should realize that there are malnourished people even here in the US, and the best use of a fattened 45 lb turkey is to butcher it and turn it into LOT of meals for the homeless or at least the less fortunate. If someone gave me a turkey like that (not to mention two of them), I'd have a blast turning it into the main course for those in my community who could really use a well prepared, nutritious meal.
Which turkey pardoned who?
OMGOSH!, he is doing something traditional. Lets give him an applause.
They could become democrat liberal house leaders. They are better looking, smarter and have more training and finesse.
Why is the white house inviting this Mitch McConnell look alike?
I hope that's NOT permanent INK!!!
