I finally turned on TV to watch a little of the parade. It was absolutely pitiful.

This seems to have been the biggest flop of any inauguration in history. His staff had to use pictures from Obama's inauguration to try to make the Giant Yam look good. LOLOLOLOL.

While Kennedy's victory had been razor thin, the place was still packed as Robert Frost read one of his poems in a shaky voice issuing from deep within layers of heavy winter clothing.

Republicans, it seems, are too wimpy to brave a few rain drops. Or maybe they realize they've made a colossal mistake.
