Just tuned in to c-span2 to hear the announcement that Cynthia McKinney is trying to join the protestors but can't get through the check point.
Shepard Smith taking over for Brit now, and Shep is outside, directly across from where the President will review the parade. Rich Lowery and ugh. Cici Connelly are with Shepard.

That's hysterical! What is not hysterical is CSPAN's lack of coverage of this historical event. I've had it with them and just sent them the following email (for whatever good it will do (which is nothing)).
I cannot believe you've allowed the anti-Bush protestors to drone on for this long. There are pro-Bush protestors, as well - - why didn't you give them some air time??? This is a historical day in our nation's history and it would be appropriate to hear both sides of the so-called 'protestors'. But, of course, you've only chose to cover those who spew hatred of our nation.
For whatever reason, you also chose not to cover the pre-Inaugural events as you did 4 years ago and which we thoroughly enjoyed. For those of us who have never been and will probably never be able to attend an Inauguration, it made us feel like we were there and taking part in the nation's history.
My family and I are very disappointed in CSPAN and will be turning to other channels to get our news coverage.
