Prohibition on looking directly at the boy emperor during the inaugural!

Y o u ' r e i n v i t e d ?

Be ready for metal detectors, personal body searches and the highest security in inauguration history
WASHINGTON - The nation's 55th presidential inauguration, the first to be held since 9/11, will take place this month under perhaps the heaviest security of any in U.S. history.
Dozens of federal and local law enforcement agencies and military commands are planning what they describe as the heaviest possible security. Virtually everyone who gets within eyesight of the president either during the Jan. 20 inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol or the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue later in the day will first go through a metal detector or receive a body pat-down.
Thousands of police officers and military personnel are being brought to Washington from around the country for the four-day event. Sharpshooters will be deployed on roofs, while bomb-sniffing dogs will work the streets. Electronic sensors will be used to detect chemical or biological weapons.
Anti-abortion protesters have been warned to leave their crosses at home. Parade performers will have security escorts to the bathroom, and they've been ordered not to look directly at President Bush or make any sudden movements while passing the reviewing stand.
"It's going to be very different from past inaugurals," said Contricia Sellers-Ford, spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police, which is responsible for the Capitol and grounds. "A lot of the security differences will not be detected by the public - there will be a lot of behind the scenes implementation - but the public will definitely see more of a police presence."...........

This pomp and circumstantial repression are beyond the beyonds. Maybe we should be asking why the Chimp is so hated that he presumably needs this over the top 'security.'

1. And if you do, will you turn into a pillar of salt?
Or is it more like a medusa thing where you will be turned to stone?

5. No they won't turn to pillars of salt
Their faces will melt off them. You know just like that scene in the Indiana Jones movie.

7. For the life of me I can't think of what the 'official' explanation of
this prohibition could be. It's so off the wall!

8. maybe he would throw an unscheduled hissy-fit?
That is all I can think of. You know how he has to have his subjects kissing his ass 24/7? Imagine if a parade person actually Scowled at him! OMG he would have a meltdown.

10. Malloy addressed this last night
trying to figure out why they are prohibited from looking directly at dimson. He recieved a bunch of emails with suggestions, and concluded that if a tuba player from some Indiana High School band looked at the idiot king, he may stumble, and with 6000 snipers trained on the reviewing stand, it could get nasty.

13. I sure hope the snipers are not going to be on such hair trigger alert
that they'd fire if a band member stumbles. I hope some reporter asks about this silly rule.

11. Oh we ALL know....
why the Shrub is so hated. He is a liar, a hypocrit, a drunk, a warmonger, a murderer and a lousy use of flesh.

16. Can't allow the masses to stare too long or too hard
at the Chimperor or they might figure out that the little boy is right, the Chimperor really is buck naked. Could cause some massive psychological trauma to his fundy supportes if they were to realize they were looking at the Chimperor's naked weeny dangling in the breeze.
