CBS News: Biden pardons two Thanksgiving turkeys, Liberty and Bell
Even turkeys aren't safe from Molester-in-Chief. |
"I [give two gravy boats about the rest of them but] hereby pardon Liberty and Bell! Alright," the president said to applause.
"Congratulations, birds! Congratulations."
Leave your door unlocked, I'll see you tonight. |
Don't worry, we have spares (body doubles). |
"These birds have a new appreciation of the word, 'let freedom ring,'" Mr. Biden said, reading a line written for him poorly. He's only aging and getting more enfeebled. This year's turkey pardon ceremony happens to fall on Mr. Biden's 81st birthday [and Chinese dictator Xi's wife, as Joe clumsily reminded him at APEC].
Grandpa's sexy and loves me. |
"I just want you to know it's difficult turning 60," the president attempted to joke, adding that he wasn't present for the first turkey pardoning event.
On a more somber note, the president switched gears to remember deceased former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 96 [while former Pres. Jimmy Carter keeps kicking at 99 in hospice care or assisted living].

I also love kids, so we're good there. |
The origin of the presidential turkey pardon ceremony is a bit murky. Pres. Harry Truman was the first president to hold a photo-op at the White House with a turkey he received from the National Turkey Federation and the Poultry and Egg National Board.
The White House says Truman began the tradition, but that's a claim the Truman Library and Museum has disputed.
It's also possible the ritual began with Pres. Abraham Lincoln after his son urged his father to spare the bird they had planned to slaughter and devour for Christmas.
The take home message? Protect your birds. |
This year's turkeys, which hatched in July, were sent to the White House from the Jennie-O Turkey Store.

Jennie-O says the turkeys have been "receiving the five-star treatment befitting turkeys of their stature."
Liberty and Bell will retire to a University of Minnesota farm in the Twin Cities.
