Does anyone know for sure if Bush and Cheney will be AT the Inaugeration?

Better yet, can you point me to a list of people who are supposed to be on the platform?

And a schedule of events, also, please.

1. It is traditional that the outgoin President and Veep attend

and there is traditionally a lunch or tea at the White House prior to the inauguration.

I would assume that Bush will be there - perhaps Cheney might beg off and claim health reasons but I would say 99% chance Bush will be there, 90% chance Cheney will.

2. Oh screw the tradition -- BAN them from the Inauguration.

Face it: they should be watching it on TVs in prison.

5. Going by tradition, yes. McCain will probably be there as well.

6. Bush and Barack will ride to the Capitol together.....

...... from the White House.

And Biden and "Cheeney" will do the same.

Weird, I know, but it's tradition. It's a symbol of how smoothly our government changes hands. Andrew Jackson started it.

I would LOVE to be a fly in Joe and "Cheeney's" limo .... I know that ..... cant imagine what they'd possibly have to talk about.
