WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush has pardoned two Thanksgiving turkeys, and they are headed for Disneyland.
Indicted vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby and his puppetmaster, Karl Rove, are being shipped to Disneyland in California, where Rove will serve as grand marshall of the annual holiday parade.
Previous national traitors spared by the president also got to spend the rest of their days in Orange County, where former President Richard M. Nixon escaped public scrutiny after the Watergate scandal.
The 185-pound Libby was raised on the side lawn of the White House during the Reagan administration. Bush says the bird's probably going to feel pretty good ''strutting around sunny California scot free.''

Heh heh, very well done. Almost as good as the classic "This article sponsored by Accenture" piece. I still laugh out loud reading that one.
