"As thanksgiving nears, a seasonal gift to President Eisenhower is this strutting, impressive Tom Turkey.
Handsomest bird in all Nebraska. And perhaps the other 47 states as well
All the trimmings for the White House dinner come with him
A Big basket of cranberries to complete the holiday platter.
It's a lucky bird that graces the President's table.
And he's gobbling with excitement at the prospect."
Hey ... wait a minute ... that's not funny at all..
Thanksgiving and turkey and the White House -- but where are the jokes?
Sure, it was a news report from 1955 about President Eisenhower pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey.
But isn't there supposed to be original -- sometimes hilarious, sometimes painful -- presidential humor about turkeys?
Well, give thanks for the latest episode of C-SPAN's "The Weekly."
Because in this podcast, we're stuffed with Presidential comedy -- Presidents pardoning Thanksgiving turkeys -- and the jokes they told. ...
Which jokes were a huge hit? Which jokes were guaranteed groaners?
You get to decide ... just by listening to "The Weekly."
