Cheat Seeking Missiles

I just heard a news report speculating that 5 million people might show up for the coronation inauguration of Barack Obama. The Fox reporter dutifully told us how much of the mall would be filled, how many Porta-potties would be required (buy Porta-potty stock now!) - all for a number the Obama-fawners have just pulled out of thin air.

Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin asks, “Where are all the anti-Inauguration activists now?“ She reminds us of this coverage from not long ago:

Critics are calling on U.S. President George W Bush to scale back the glittering multimillion dollar parties planned this week in honor of his second-term inauguration, saying lavish festivities are unseemly at a time of war.

Bush is to be sworn in Thursday and feted with four days of pomp and party-going at a price tag of about $40 million. …

But critics insist that with U.S. troops dying daily in Iraq, the tone surrounding this year’s inaugural celebration should be more modest.

“I would have hoped they would have followed the traditions of President Wilson and President Roosevelt, who at a time of war had a very muted celebration,” said Democratic Representative Robert Menendez, speaking on CNN.

“I think when young men and women are dying we should think about the reality of how we conduct ourselves here at home.”

Hmmm. War’s still going on, isn’t it? And isn’t the Obauguration estimated to come in at far, far more than Bush’s $40 million - so massively expensive it may bankrupt DC?

Leftism is never having to say you’re intelligent … or honest.
