55th Inauguration And Day's Events - Live Thread
Were those cheers for Jeb?
I remember shaking his hand at the 1992 Republican Convention and being mesmerized by his cobalt-blue eyes. ;-)

Hi Smarty!! Glad to see you here too. We were planning on heading to D.C., but money shortages forced us to change our plans. I really enjoyed being able to attend the inauguration and ball in '01. Despite the rain and the soggy ground, the best part beside hearing Dubya being sworn in, was being there in person and getting to boo Clinton when they announced him.
I'm on pins and needles. Worried about an attack. The President is well protected, but the crowds aren't.
C-Span 2 is hilarious!
Brian Becker from ANSWER had me in stitches laughing. Talk about a 60's re-tread. He couldn't even rouse his little crowd of loonies with his hateful spewing.
It's over for these folks.
Yee-hawwww!
Jeb and George P. get cheers!
Dan is a good guy, and a good speller too!
The press skewered Dan Quayle with leftist glee. The 92 election was the last election before the internet became a force and the old media was at the height of their power.
They skewered him about his Murphy Brown remarks also, but a few years later I think a liberal wrote a colums that got a lot of notice syaing the Dan Quayle was right.
W just drove by the DUmmies--they chanted for all they were worth, which was about 3 seconds, and stopped. ROFL!

Everyone of those SUV's is a war wagon..
Yes, and that plaid dress and coat were pitiful, I tell you.
Yes! She is a doll! I know the President thinks she's georgeous!!!
White suits her well!!!
They always grossly inflate their numbers. If you can ever stomach to watch their protests on C-Span it's pretty comical. The host will get up there and say "We've got a new estimate- 15,000 people are here! And the buses are still coming!" Then a speaker will speak for maybe 5-10 minutes. The host will come back and will say, "We've got a new estimate! 25,000 people and the buses are still coming!"
Meanwhile, you can see in the backround maybe 2-3 buses with none waiting. I just can't imagine that 10,000 people were dropped off in 10 minutes. When they pan the crowd you can see there are maybe 3000 people max. Our local hockey team gets better turn out.
I'd love to see the inside of one.
Would you call that a Limoutank, or a Tankousine?
Need commentary?
and even John Wayne couldn't get in it
his cobalt-blue eyes. ;-)
You should meet Senator Ensign.......sigh........wow wee wow
