White House aides prepping for Wednesday's annual turkey pardoning released a humorous video preview in advance of the goofy ceremony, which is among the silliest rituals in which the president participates.

Shot from the perspective of the pardoned turkey and featuring a voice-over by White House assistant press secretary Ben LaBolt, the film by White House videographer Arun Chaudhary features background music from the classic Western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" -- with occasional turkey gobble sounds added at key moments.

1. There's something basically wrong with you people....

.... you'd rather sit around and argue rather than comment on this WONDERFUL turkey video!!!

Thanks Cal!!!

(that's actually pretty amazing footage. If there's ever been an almost continuous shot from outside the WH into the West Wing and Oval like that I've never seen it. I wonder if the Secret Service knows about it. lol)
