What is this, "pile on the talk show fan day" on Free Republic?
I watch Chris Mathews because I just have to know what idiocy the left is pushing---just like today Rep. Weiner (D) of New York was on Fox and said that it was okay for Bush to have swearing in ceremony on Jan 12, but because of the war and the tsunami, it would be in poor taste and just plain wrong to have the hoopla surrounging the inauguration.
Never mind how many businesses big and small would be hurt, even lose money---
And I thought the dems were for the "regular people" like waiters and waitresses, hotel personnel, taxi drivers, limo drivers, even babysitters for gosh sakes ----they would all be hurt if cancelled at this late date!!!
Where was the hippocrite Weiner when Clinton took 450+ of his fellow travelers to Africa? I guess Ruwanda was just a fly in the ointment. Where was he when Clinton paid his homage to China? It took a year of planning and a billion $ of taxpayer money to pay for his extravaganza. Oh I forgot, he was part of the entourage.

Weiner should not have stopped there, to have any credibility.
He should introduce a bill in Congress mandating that all weddings, anniversary celebrations , birthday's, hotel receptions, cocktail parties , gallery openings, movie premieres, etc be banned until further notice.
No Hollywood awards shows, for sure.
Cancel the Oscars !
In fact, all forms of American enjoyment, including the NFL playoffs, The Super Bowl, college and high school basketball, cable and regular tv and Broadway theater and on and on, should go dark until the all clear is given.
And of course, all laughing should be suspended until the Democrats give the ok to smile again.
I heard this drivel being spewed by some Hollywood types on one of the entertainment shows the other night. Immediately following the commercial break, the next story was about the $15,000 gift bags that are being handed out to the celebrities attending the People's Choice Awards.
