Presidential McNugget up for sale

DAKOTA CITY — A Nebraska woman is auctioning a McDonald's Chicken McNugget that she believes resembles President George Washington.

Rebekah Speights of Dakota City is selling the presidential McNugget on eBay to raise money for a church summer camp.

A check of eBay on Wednesday showed one bid for $100. The auction ends next week.

Speights said the McNugget almost became a snack during a visit to a Sioux City, Iowa, McDonalds three years ago. Her children didn't eat the chicken and she was about to toss it when she saw Washington's resemblance.

Speights stashed the McNugget in her freezer. Now says she's selling it to raise money for the Sioux City Family Worship Center. The church is raising $15,000 to send 50 children to summer camp. — AP
