Presidential niece Lauren Bush might not be having the jolliest of holidays. Already coping with the messy divorce of her parents, Neil and Sharon Bush, the model now won't be seeing her 14-year-old sister at Thanksgiving, the New York Daily News reports.

A Texas judge has ordered Sharon Bush to allow Lauren's sister Ashley to accompany Neil Bush to France for the holiday. Neil Bush, founder of Austin software company Ignite Inc., reportedly wants Ashley to meet his girlfriend, who lives in France.

"They don't even celebrate Thanksgiving in France," a friend of Sharon Bush complained. --Austin American-Statesman, 11.25.03

White House Turkey Intimidates Bush Again

By now it's common knowledge that Bush lives on a farm in Texas, not a ranch, and that he can't ride a horse. But it seems that his lack of empathy with animals even covers turkeys. This makes him unfit for office, since one of the President's tasks during his tenure is to pardon the White House turkey. Here are some unretouched photos (honest) of Bush greeting the White House turkey over the years.
