Tim Blair is still on the case of the plastic-turkey turkeys:
. . . anti-Bush obsessive Phillip Adams . . . responding to news of Saddam's capture, devotes most of his column today to a sack of crap about the plastic Thanksgiving turkey of popular mythology:
It was a prop turkey, a pretend turkey. Just as ketchup replaced blood for violent scenes in movies, and mashed potato substituted for ice cream in Happy Days (to prevent its melting under the studio lights), the President had taken a plastic turkey - one used for gourmet magazine shoots - to the mess hall.
No, he didn't. As was reported weeks ago, "Bush picked up a decoration, not a serving plate ... A contractor had roasted and primped the turkey to adorn the buffet line, while the 600 soldiers were served from cafeteria-style steam trays, the officials said. They said the bird was not placed there in anticipation of Bush's stealthy visit, and military sources said a trophy turkey is a standard feature of holiday chow lines."
These people aim to get away with this.
