  • OK OK I get it already. Bush is just a regular guy. Why not let the turkey have his job?

  • Oh no. Actually, I was talking about the intern who probably sat excited waiting to hear if he got the White House spot. All the excitement as he waited, then traveled, dreaming of being at the heart of it all....

    Then he ends up cleaning up turkey poo.

  • Sorry....my comment was directed at whoever in the press department keeps pushing out the turkey story. Lets hope they soon run out of cute pictures.

  • When you work as a press photographer, they can't all be Pulitzers. Sometimes you just gotta pay the rent... :)

  • When this guy becomes famous, this will be his funny stump anecdote. (assuming he's willing to admit working for this White House.)
