great comments on ABC
comparing the parade to military event. "DC just isn't that unsafe. This isn't attractive." Also, "How does this demonstrate democracy to the rest of the world?"

good stuff.... again, I'm impressed w/ MSM today.

7. "Makes us look like a banana republic"
Civilian tanks in the streets, and remarks about the PA announcements telling people what's happening before their eyes.
