Conyers office fowled up in turkeygate



Detroit, MI, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- The director of a Detroit charity is wondering about 60 turkeys it entrusted to the office of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., for delivery to poor people.


The Gleaners Community Food Bank gave the 720 pounds of frozen birds to Conyers staff two days before Thanksgiving so they could pass them along to needy people, the Detroit Free Press reported Wednesday.

But the charity has yet to receive any confirmation that any turkey was delivered to a worthy recipient.

A Conyers aide who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal said staffer Elisa Grubbs and her cousin, Conyers' Detroit deputy chief of staff Marion Brown, along with a former Conyers aide, DeWayne Boyd, picked up the turkeys and later gave contradictory accounts of what happened to the gifts.

1. I don't think this story will fly

7. 'Are you kidding? The press will gobble it up.' nt

8. I'm gonna knock the stuffing out of you two!

This is no time for puns ...

(reads his own subject line)

Doh!

10. I'm Giving Thanks for your lamb-basting. nt

11. Well, you just needed a good dressing down.

I'll stop now. No need to be a ham about this. (And I need to get some sleep.)

Have fun.

14. As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly.

(WKRP - if you don't recongnize the line)

Bushco must be desperately looking for someway to discredit Conyers and this is all they could find? BWHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Ian David]

2. Oooh! Oooh! I know!

Soldiers strapped the turkeys to the sides of their hummers to use as armor!

[The Doctor.]

6. And I thought 'stoploss' was desperate... nt

[UndergroundLight4]

3. I don't believe it.

Maybe if they were chickens I would be more inclined to believe, but this monkey business is strictly for the birds.

[The Doctor.]

9. You may be right, after all...

No one's gonna stick their neck out for this one.

'Beakcause the media horse crying foul will get their goose cooked'

4. Count every turkey! The votes? Screw 'em!

5. source: Washington Times?

HAHAHAHA! Bush LIKES that newspaper. There is a reason, it's SHIT! COMPLETE MUSHY STINKY SHIT. If the MoonieTimes ran a headline tomorrow proclaiming "HITLER LOST WW2", I'd have to double check with more authoritative sources.

12. Another thread

like this and I swear I'm off DU and I'm going Cold Turkey.

13. This WILL be tomorrow's story re: Conyers...

If they bring up him and the vote fraud, they'll tie it into this. Gaurant-effing-teed. Bet it all on that one...they won't be able to help themselves. It is easy for Amurka to understand...stealing Turkeys. "We don't know nuthin bout no vote stealin...they dunt do thet here in AMURKA!"

Toby Keith is probably already writing a song about it.

[Guaranteed]

15. LOL he should just say, "I admit it! I ate 60 turkeys!!" nt

[RabidNation]

16. Conyers rocks. His opponents are human garbage.

Those motherfuckers.

John Conyers is THE only michigan politician of note who showed up in February '03 at the anti-war rallies before the war. He's a man of spine and principle, probably THE politician I admire most in this country.

And I understand that here in Detroit, the fucking Free Press has piled on with this turkey horseshit.

God I hate these bastards.
