"The Turkey Hasn't Committed A Crime": More TV Fun On Thanksgiving

I miss The West Wing! In the spirit of the day I thought I'd post another fun clip from a TV Thanksgiving. This is from the "Shibboleth" episode in season two, and according to the booklet that came with my DVD set, it originally aired exactly 12 years ago, on November 22, 2000.  It looks like Aaron Sorkin may have taken a little creative license when he wrote that the unpardoned second turkey gets eaten, or maybe things have changed since 2000, because at yesterday's pardoning ceremony President Obama made it clear that both of this year's turkeys get to live out their natural lives at Mt. Vernon.  President Bartlet and C.J., I miss you!
