55th Inauguration And Day's Events - Live Thread
"flaunting of wealth, fur coats, designer clothing."
Wonder if the dipsh** considered it's also cold?
Probably not. (rolling eyes)
The Constitution Ball...
Which ball is that---on CNN now.
Including James Robertson, the biographer of Stonewall Jackson. I don't know whether he was there in 1983, but if he was, I could kick myself for not meeting him!
The Constitution Ball.
I am annoyed with Fox. They didn't cover that program last night either except for some very brief snippets which did not include the VP or President speaking.
Pinging Miss M to remind if you want to see ball coverage Fox is skimping again.
And Fox loses me again today. As they did during the parade coverage.
My clicker won't stay on MSNBC.
"Maybe he's channeling Boxer."
He was channeling Don King then realized King is a Bush supporter?
Frankly, it would surprise me if the media would snap and publish a picture like that. Not that no one would want it, but the media simply couldn't be bothered with it, not important you know; now if Mary Cheney had her partner with her up there, well, now that would be an important picture. </sarcasm>
Live thread to call into the FR Ball:

It's not just Matthews. I remain amazed at how these people think so small. I believe the president's reference to fire was no accident. Fire spreads. Fire can provide light and warmth even to those at a distance.
What these people are missing is that the president intends to encourage the spark. He was speaking directly to the oppressed people in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, etc. He was saying "Rise up...and we will be with you". As one rises up (Ukraine) others will take heart and freedom will begin to stir in places we never imagined.
Don't these commentators remember the fall of the Berlin wall? The fire of freedom spread across borders and geographical barriers so quickly the oppressors couldn't resist it. Bush doesn't intend to "invade" Iran (Matthews/Mitchell). He means for the PEOPLE to take power for themselves. It won't be a straight line and it won't always work. And we MAY have to go to war again.
But these bluenoses are talking as though Bush is going to force all this to happen...and in his 4 years. Can they really be that stupid?
Thanks! I am on CSPAN having learned my lesson last night.
Some are that stupid, and some are deliberately spreading disinformation.
Glad ya'll are seeing C-Span which is currently covering one of the Balls (Constitution?).
CSPAN has gone LIVE finally.
CNN and CSPAN only channels covering the ball the Bushes are now at. I'm not seeing the name of this ball.
Freedom Ball. It's up at the top right of the screen.
They're fixing to dance!
I'll watch then must get dinner on the table
First dance.
Here cones Laura
