FAKE TURKEY FUNDAMENTALISM GAINS BELIEVERS

Jay Ackroyd, contributor to a site granted Total Worthiness status by Google News, joins the bogus turkey league:

All they know about is the material served to them, by Brooks and his ilk, on a platter like a fake turkey in Baghdad.

It will never die, the fake turkey. Despite being fleshless, it’ll never - to borrow a phrase from this charming obituary - “graduate from the flesh”. Leftists have become more attached to the bird of myth with each passing year; in fact, if you attempt to correct them, they’ll try to get you fired. (Further on that particular case here.)

1. Sadly, unlike the Great Auk or the Dodo, Meleagris Linnaeus Plasticanus will never become extinct as long as there are Meleagris Sinisterus left in the world.

2. God breathed life into the plastic turkey dust and the world began.

3. Was it being used as bait for monkeyfishing? And is Jay from Niagara Falls, NY?

4. Yes, ok, technically the fake turkey story is not true.  But it could have been true. Because George McBushitler is stupid.  We all know it.  And we all know similar stupid things like that happen with President ChimpanzeefromYale.  Journalists simply don’t have any evidence that they happened because Bush is so devious in keeping his stupidity secret.  That’s no reason why journalists can’t publish the truth.  You can’t suppress the truth!

5. I see they take a play right out of Goebbels:  repeat a lie long enough to become true.

6. These people need help for their obsessive-compulsive disorder. Really.

7. Bad enough they takes themselves so seriously, but it’s worse they expect us to, too.

9. The Turkey has taken on the aspect of one of Terry Pratchett’s Small Gods.  So many wonderful Believers!

10. #8 -

    It was from the start a criticism of the consensus of the intelligence community, and in presenting it I was not endorsing its substance.

    So you disagreed with the criticism of the intelligence community, Doug?  Gotta watch that subject/object agreement, boyo, it can come around and bite you on the ass.

11. Like the Boogeyman, the Alien Autopsy, and the Tooth Fairy, the Plastic Turkey is here with us to stay for eternity.  Or at least as long as there are people too damn lazy or stupid to examine the facts and think critically.

12. What can you say?

13. Blogstrop, that was great!  Made me want to allemande right and a doh si doh, it did.

14. Another thing that will never die is Mohammed Dawood chained to the floor of his cell.  Proved to be wrong, but it keeps being repeated.  Endlessly.

    I heard Dawood (isn’t that a Korean car?) is chained to a plastic turkey 24 hours a day!!

16. #15 In that case, I think the turkey has a valid case for abuse at Guantanamo.

    Kudos to Murph re. those e-mails. I could just picture him, licking a finger, drawing a vertical line with it and proclaiming “ttttsss!” (He probably would have added “arsehole”, but I rarely use such language on the blog).

17. Mmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmm, look, its been basting in delicious truthiness for months! Get me some plastic fixin’s to go with it!

18. Thanks Rebecca - such a catchy tune!
    If elected I favour the phasing out of the plastic turkey mining industry within, say ... three years!
