Liveblogging the Inauguration

Duncan Quirk | Bio

11:11 Dan Quayle is back!!
11:11 And he brought Al Gore!!!
11:14 I am so sick of hearing about George H. W. going sky diving
11:15 Bill doesn't look happy
11:15 Haha one Senator objected to Hillary's nomination
11:17 How is he supposed to sky dive if he's using a cane?
11:18 Once again, the ex-presidents are all keeping their distance from Carter
11:22 I think the washing machine in my building is broken...my stuff's been in for half an hour and even though it was only supposed to be in for 28 minutes, there's still 12 left, what'd I miss?
11:23 Bush is coming up, what are the odds the boos are louder than the forced cheering?
11:25 They're really devoting a lot of time to watching the two little girls walk down a hallway, I think the news might be pedophiles
11:30 Why are they talking about Princess Di and the Pope's death?
11:31 The shots of everybody walking down the stairs is getting rather repetitive, can they show some more of Cheney in the wheelchair?
11:34 Ask and you shall receive!! there he is.
11:36 That's some seriously forced clapping for Bush, although I
11:38 Buh buh buh Biden
11:44 What a great day! I tried mixing my whites and colors in the washing machines and they came out fine, Racism is over!!
11:44 Crap I missed Obama's entrance, didn't I?
11:46 I would hate to be running security for this thing
11:48 Rick Warren is from the Saddle Back Church, I know there's a Brokeback Mountain joke in there somewhere, but I've gotta make some lunch
11:52 Oh quoting Jesus, very original Warren...
11:56 That was good Aretha but I still prefer R-E-S-P-E-C-T. My Country Tis Of Thee didn't make it to #2 of VH1's greatest rock songs of all time
11:58 I'm out $30. Fricking VP Biden couldn't have just one oath haffe?
11:59 Yo-Yo Ma...
12:02 ...is stealing the show
12:05 With how much pomp and spectacle went into this, that was pretty quick. Not that I'm saying it wasn't good, just thought it might last a bit longer, is all.
12:07 President Obama
12:12 You lost me at the Hollywood and celebrity-bashing
12:17 Shout out to Rights of Man and Thomas Paine (pre-Age of Reason I assume)
12:27 Would hate to have to follow that speech
12:29 This'll be the last time poetry is ever recited on national television, try to enjoy it
12:45 Damn it, how did I lose another sock to that damn drier?
12:56 My guess is Bush is going off the wagon in that helicopter, think I might join him.
