"This will be the death of any thoughts this man ever had of being president!" Norm Hitzges proclaimed before George W. Bush slid a frozen Butterball toward 10 Coke bottles.
But no, we weren't spared.
Bush was still governor of Texas when he turkey bowled on Hitzges' old Tailgate Party TV show. And as the future prez noted, "Turkeys vote."
Let that sink in while enjoying the sights and sounds from this now vintage clip. It also includes a brief interview and demonstration by Turkey Bowling inventor Derrick Johnson, who was fired for perfecting his sport on a grocery store graveyard shift. Happy Thanksgiving!
