The left stuffed themselves, rhetorically, to the point where they spent the rest of 2003 lying on the metaphorical couch with their rhetorical zippers open with the rumor that the President, on a surprise Thanksgiving visit to Baghdad, had been photographed carrying a plastic turkey among the GIs.
Of course, it was a lie; the turkey was the "Show Turkey", a perfect-looking real bird used more as a centerpiece than as an entree. It's not an uncommon practice at big institutional meals (and what is an Army mess but the biggest, institutionalest meal of all?).
To put it in Democrat terms - Not Fake, but Accurate.
