And Bush declared an emergency for Obama's inauguration as the District of Columbia indicated difficulty in controlling the expected crowd size.

Yes, when you consider how small DC really is and how many people they are expecting - I find that more than reasonable

The Economist (http://www.economist.com/opinion/displayStory.cfm?story_id=12932260&source=hptextfeature) estimated the crowd will be more than 2 million which means about half the population of Singapore (inclusive of its 1 million foreign workers) in less than a third of the size of singapore.

Barack Obama has not yet taken office, and Rush Limbaugh is already rooting for his failure. On his radio show last Friday, Limbaugh said, “I disagree fervently with the people on our [Republican] side of the aisle who have caved and who say, ‘Well, I hope he succeeds.’”

Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by “a major American print publication” to offer a 400-word statement explaining his “hope for the Obama presidency.” He responded:

So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.”

"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God I believe," he said.

Since plumbers were mentioned in a totally unrelated Post #175521 earlier today, back to my election hero (well, Derek kinda took over Sarah, so I give up on her, for a moment):

Is there any real reason to cover the ongoing shenanigans of Joe the Plumber, who, after all, is just some guy? Not really, but it's fun, so why the hell not. Today word broke that Mr. Plumber is leaving the Republican Party — which you can tell is in deep trouble when they can't hold on to either moderates or right-wing bigots. But the GOP can at least take heart in the fact that Joe's reasons for leaving, not surprisingly, are pretty illogical. In a new Time story, Joe says he's "outraged by GOP overspending," despite the fact that the entire party, nearly to a man, voted against both the stimulus package and President Obama's budget. ...

Well, we wish Joe the best of luck finding a new party that supports his unique principles of drastically cutting government spending while keeping most government spending untouched, banning wartime reporting, and openly fearing homosexuals.
