The day is surely drawing near! Obamassiah has mounted the Democrat donkey and is approaching the Holy City for his triumphal entry! The countdown continues! Will the ball descend in Times Square? I don't know. TV hosts are breathless. They're fawning over Obambi, the Young Prince. It's quite sickening, actually.
But Inauguration Fever is on the rise in DUmmieland, even as the temperatures in DC are going down! Maybe we can catch some of the festivities on TV. Do you think any of the networks will cover it? YA THINK? It's ALL OBAMA, ALL THE TIME! "Wall-to-wall" coverage? More like, "Through the walls, down the stairs, up on the rooftop, over the river and through the woods" coverage! But the adoring Obambats in DUmmieland are giddy, and they'll be glued to every inspirational moment. Check out this THREAD, "Televised Inaugural Events all in one Handy Dandy Post!"
So get out your Winky-Dink screen and place it on your television, so you can help draw the way for Obambi to get to Washington in time. Use the Bolshevik Red crayon, which is the same color as the DUmmie ejaculations below, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, who unfortunately will be washing his hair all day Tuesday and thus will miss ObamaFest, is in the [Barackets]:
Televised Inaugural Events all in one Handy Dandy Post!
[Oh, good! Tell me about all the stuff I won't be watching!]
Ok, I was going all cross-eyed looking at the spreadsheets I had for the activities worth watching over the next five days and decided to just make a list.
[How about making a list of all the TV programming that will NOT be Obamamatic? That would be a lot shorter.]
Hopefully, someone else will find this helpful.
[I find it unnecessary. Flip on any channel and it's bound to be Obama Time.]
All times Eastern
[All coverage fawning.]
Saturday
10am - CSPAN - Obama's Love Train departs Philly.
[People all over the world, join hands. . . .]
1pm - (tv coverage uncertain) - Train picks up Joe Biden . . .
[At the Home Depot.]
in Wimington. . . .
[I thought he lived in Scranton?]
4:15pm - (tv coverage uncertain) - train arrives in Baltimore, another ceremony likely to follow.
[Palm branches to be distributed.]
5pm - MSNBC - Hardball with Tweet for what I assume is the train arriving in DC.
[The thrill running up Tweety's leg may cause technical difficulties.]
Sunday
2:30pm - HBO (you dont have to have HBO but you DO have to have cable)
[HBO to be renamed BHO.]
Inaugural Celebration Concert at the Lincoln Memorial
[Lincoln Memorial to be renamed Barackropolis.]
(HBO's site says "watch a message from the President elect" while CSPAN says "address by the President elect." he may be there or may not be)
[Present-Elect?]
Monday
8pm - Disney Channel - Kids Inaugural Ball - appearance by Michelle and Jill.
[AKA Minnie and Daisy.]
Tuesday
all day coverage . . .
[WE WANT MORE! MORE! MORE! WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!!]
11:30am - Inaugural Ceremony Beings
[BlackBerry Hussein Obama, strange being from another planet. . . .]
2:30pm - parade actitivies
[Here we'll be doing parody activities.]
(Bush's departure etc)
[NO! NO! HE CAN'T LEAVE! WHAT WILL WE DO WITH OUR BDS????]
8pm - ABC - Neighbohood Ball
[There goes the neighborhood!]
appearance by Barack and Michelle.
[Oh joy! Oh rapture! Bamalot!]
Please! if I left anything out, lemme know!
[WE MUST KNOW . . . EVERY . . . SINGLE . . . SECOND!!]
I guess I be will be glued to C-span all day Saturday.
[It's kind of like sniffing glue, isn't it?]
If anyone wants to see the Obama Radio Nation event with Randi, Stephie, Bill Press, Ed Schultz and others, it will be on C-SPAN from 4-7 on Sunday.
[The Triumph of the Moonbats!]
Maps, Performers, Parties, Balls, etc.
[Barf Bags not included.]
I am so excited...I have my own countdown clock!!!
[I myself am counting down the days to 1-20-13.]
Mods- can we keep this pinned and open for late edits?
[How about we frame it and bronze it and place it on our mantel?]
I believe I'll be kicking this. . . .
[I believe I'll be sick.]
I took the day off to celebrate.
[A day off from not working.]
I will be checking in here all day to see if any fellow DUers will be posting pictures with little stories about all the joy and excitement.
[I'm all atwitter! I'm like a little schoolgirl!]
I cannot wait for Tuesday. . . .
[I cannot wait for 2013.]
whoot!
[w00t!]
well, just dont expect any pics of me on the couch in my PJs because I'm not putting on any makeup until Tuesday night!
[You should try the smudge-free mascara, ben. Tears of joy are not a problem.]
I will be DVR'ing all of this.
[It's already DRVing me crazy.]
I assume CNN will be covering the train arriving too?
[CNN has a correspondent just to cover the porters.]
the places where I wrote (TV coverage uncertain) I am assuming CSPAN, MSNBC, CNN etc. will be covering those, but I couldn't find any definate listings.
[It will be everywhere, all the time, on every channel, don't worry. The Hunting & Fishing Channel is doing "Favorite Duck Calls of the Obamas." The Food Network is having an "Arugula Marathon." CNN/SI is doing a special "Swimsuit Edition: Obama's Pecs." But the capper will be on the Fashion Channel, "Michelle's Extreme Makeover: Jackie Style."]
Any ideas what channels are going to cover this stuff?
[All of them. Indeed, special channels are being created, even as we speak, to beam the events to other planets. Enjoy!]
Why, just mention the messiah's name and have 20 minutes of applause, of course! If tonight's episode is any indication. (I am NOT watching it, someone has it on in the other room. *barf*)
And PSYCHO-phantic, too.
Makes me physically ill. Can’t change the damn channel without seeing Obama this and Obama that. I can understand it being on the news since it’s a news event but can’t watch ESPN, can’t watch QVC, can’t watch anything without them trying to sell Obama crap. Makes me just want to turn off the damn TV for a week, maybe I will just play with my Wii, good thing I am ordering my PS3 this week, something else to play with during this Obama fever garbage
Obama is stupid
I’m watching SNL for a laugh. I usually get one out of every four or five shows. This show appears to be one where I don’t. Steve Martin hosts next week but I don’t think even he can save it anymore.
QVC was the last straw for me, too. ptui
SNL hasn’t been remotely funny since, maybe the 80s?! Hubby insists on checking it out, however — so here I am FReepin’.
So many premature o-climaxes.
Yes, but familiarity breeds contempt.
Quite lame this week. Rosario Dawson not funny but easy on the eyes.
You did not hear about the Zero trading cards being put out by Topps, did you?
I thought they were saving that for the party at the Doubletree.
I noticed CNN is calling it The Obama Express.
Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Obama!!!
So far no Obama!!!!
[Oh, good! Tell me about all the stuff I won’t be watching!]
This :)
He has 18-pages in the California 8th grade Social Studies book, an airport in Chicago will be named for him, a school in NYC has been named for him.
and he has not done jack squat to deserve any of it. Next month his face will ‘dis’grace the 8 dollar bill. In 3 years that will be $800 bills and enough to buy a loaf of bread if you can find any.
Really, Ohare sounds crackerish.
Obambi International. Sounds gay.
Personally I'm waiting for the 2 hour special to see if it's Boxers, Briefs or Underoo’s.
