U.S. President George W. Bush has expressed a common bond with a broad-breasted turkey named ″Biscuits，″ which won a White House election to become national turkey for this year＇s Thanksgiving holiday.

　　Bush pardoned the 44-pound (20 kg) white tom turkey from a centre-stage appearance on the Thanksgiving dinner table.

　　The president joked that Biscuits and his running-mate， ″Gravy，″ had run ″neck-and-neck″ against a rival ticket of ″Patience″ and ″Fortitude.″
