From Times Wire Reports
The race was close, tough, sometimes bitter, but “now’s the time for healing,” President Bush said in sparing the lives of two White House turkeys.
Bush used the annual pre-Thanksgiving rite to roast the presidential campaign.
The winning “running mates” were Biscuits and Gravy, turkeys raised in Mathias, W.Va. They won a contest pitting them against Patience and Fortitude.
The birds will live on a Herndon, Va., farm.
