The Official Inauguration-Watching Thread

They just introduced the Clintons. Jeez, this is such an exciting day! I’m on ABC because I have a bizarre crush on Charlie Gibson… Oh, and Hi, I’m new here.

Merged the “inaugural entendre” thread into this one, since wisecracks about the coverage probably belong here, too.

Damn, the Bush twins look cute today.

Look at Malia’s smile!

was gh bush helping cheney with the boxes? it looks like he had a recent owie event.

perhaps he can duel with cheney later. gh really likes patting people. he just patted the guard on the tush!

any british thought on the numerous singings of my country 'tis of thee? do y’all just sing the words you know? ms franklin will be singing it.

ooop! he come the kids! they look great as does first grandmum.

Those Obama girls are going to break some hearts when they get older.

'Sup. Good day to start.

They just showed a picture of someone holding the Lincoln Bible on MSNBC. I would not be brave enough to touch that without wearing archival white gloves.

Ah, Laura Bush looking airbrushed and plastic as usual. (That was catty, wasn’t it. Sorry. She doesn’t look real to me.)

Yeah, a touch. There’s bound to be a little cattiness, but can we keep it to a minimum?

How overwhelming for the Obama children to walk out in front of those millions of people!

Malia gets the “best dressed award.”

I wonder what hannity.com’s Ingauration thread looks like…

Welcome!

I wonder if Michelle Obama will have to write a note for the girls tomorrow.
“Please excuse Malia and Sasha’s absence yesterday. Their dad was being inaugurated.”

The O-Ba-Ma! chant from the crowd just sent the first shivers of the day down my spine. There are a* lot *of people there today.

School’s probably out today.

If you’re curious

Heh. Britt Hume is leching over Michelle Obama.

I think…GWB…is stoned.

i always thought malia looked more like her mum, seeing her next to aunt maya, she looks like her. so she does have some dad in her face.

they interview some kids from sidwell friends earlier, they may have the day off.

the chants have started already!
