You knew I couldn’t let it go. I tried for a couple of hours, but it was just too much. I have absolutely no self-control in this area. When an Idiotarian is down, I have to kick him. Finally, I gave in and sent this:
Mr. Allen:
Every time I had a Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner in a mess hall/dining facility during my career, there was a show turkey, surrounded by fruit, etc. in the center of the room. Then there was the turkey for eating: sliced up and served from steam-trays. Just like Thanksgiving in Baghdad 2003. This occurred every single year that I didn’t eat holiday dinner at a private home.
The slightest amount of research would have gotten you that information.
GWB picked up the show turkey and some opportunistic photographer took what turned out to be a very nice picture.
You can’t stand that, can you?

Years ago, such ridiculous pap about a turkey centerpiece would be lost in the back pages of a newspaper and then only seen in that city. It's so much more fun now!
Poor Mike Allen. (Tee-Hee!)
