17. The majority of the crowd are booing
all along Pennsylvania Ave, Bushit was loudly booed, and thousands of anti-Bushit signs were waved. There was a LOT of orange clothing in the crowds too. Looks like the lockdown failed. :-)

2. They are nearing the end of the route.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 03:43 PM by DireStrike
He got out of the car with laura. Smiling and waving. Rancid, yellowed teeth.

Announcer repeating over and over "President George W. Bush, First lady Laura Bush. Vice President Dick Cheney, Mrs. Lynn Cheney."

They seem to have cleansed this area of protesters. No booing, no thrown objects.

Edit: Supporters are all very ugly.

18. 15th St was the only successfully cleansed area
Penn Ave was clearly dominated by booing protesters.

10. Forgot to mention - POLICE EVERYWHERE.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 03:47 PM by DireStrike
Thousands of police.

Lines at LEAST 2 officers deep wherever there are people.

Secret service jogging alongside the car.

Red and blue siren lights - no white, too peaceful I guess.

12. I'm watching it with the sound off on C-Span.
It reminds me of a scene from an Ann Rice vampire novel. Swarms of pasty-faced, dark coated people who look like vampires.

19. You're missing the best part!
The booing was so loud it even drowned out the asinine P.A. Guy. There was very little cheering.

15. What's happening? Is there a parade?
I want to know if that giant eagle is going down the street - the one we saw pix of. Is Bush in a reviewing stand? Are the marching band members keeping their eyes averted or are they risking their lives to glance at the Chimp?

16. O barf!
A bunch of ladies from Alabama in pastel anti-bellum costumes. It looks like a bridemaid's wedding nightmare. LOL

21. This parade is the cheesiest shit I've ever seen
It's almost like they're TRYING to be completely tacky.

Maybe I'm just a Northeastern liberal elitist but this is totally cracking me up.

22. Isn't though?
Between the military, the cowboy cheerleaders and the Azalea ladies, all I can think of is taking out the trash.

26. I haven't seen it yet
Just turned it on about 10 minutes ago though, so I could have missed it.

Seriously, giant eagle? OMFG. Hee!
