Republicans To Flee DC For Obama Inauguration

While millions descend on Washington for the historic inauguration of Barack Obama on January 20, some Republicans see it as an occasion to get out of town.

Out of power on both ends of Pennsylvania Ave and mostly out of favor on K Street, many emasculated elephants in the GOP herd will begin the Age of Obama with what amounts to an extended holiday vacation. Instead of fighting the quadrennial cold and what are expected to be record-setting crowds, they're heading out to greener pastures, with better temperatures, less hassle and more agreeable company.

I love this headline. It creates this vision of lumbering conservatives fleeing from liberal cooties.

I just have this vision of 1960's-mon­ster-movie fleeing crowds all running away while shouting "Ahhhhh, responsibility, noooooooo".

The democrats stole Virginia so they should grab a flight out of Dulles and head for South Carolina.

[madatrepubs]

Can you say sore losers? How about just losers?

What an utterly appropriate picture above, showing the backsides.

As I asked at the end of the Reagan & Papa Doc Bush Presidencies:
Who's going to clean up after the elephants?

This time we need a bigger shovel, while the Republicans go off grazing on greener savannas to bring back the next load.

[hardlyhikin]

Think of all the good paying jobs we can create cleaning up all that elephant dung!

[gmmonko]

Why? Obama has turned the inauguration into a Republican freak show. He should invite Rush Limbaugh or what was her name Ann!?

[AprilPA]

Coulter (geist).

[MM216]

What in the heck are you talking about, gmmonko!?

[Shaddup]

Now if we can just get them to leave the country...
