Inauguration Round-up Round-up

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Malkin does the overview thing on today's inauguration, posting some pictures of flag-burners and a news item about the Backbone Campaign. She updates late in the day with a quote from Reuters - "no comment necessary":

Kerry spent much of Bush's big day out of the limelight.

Yet when he first stepped out of the U.S. Capitol to attend the inauguration ceremony, his smiling face was shown to the crowd on a big outdoor television screen.

A smattering of cheers from the predominantly Republican gathering was quickly drowned out by loud groans and a few jeers. One man shouted, "Loser."

This comes in a post she titles "SORE LOSER ROUNDUP." Way to hold on to the supposed moral high ground.

Strangely, she doesn't link to this story in her list of inaugural "party poopers." Nothing like a little historical perspective.
