NEW YORK -- President-elect Barack Obama is on his way to the big screen, thanks to a deal between MSNBC and Screenvision that will put the news channel's inaugural coverage in 27 theaters around the country.
Free tickets are being handed out via MSNBC.com to see the inauguration and parade from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET at the 27 theaters run by 11 exhibitor partners in 21 markets. Midday Tuesday isn't necessarily a big movie time, so it helps to fill the theater -- and boost popcorn and soda sales -- at a time when it's not usually busy.
That means that Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and other MSNBC and NBC personalities will play the big movie screen in addition to the usual MSNBC cable and satellite stream. MSNBC won't be in high-definition until the second quarter, but both the channel and Screenvision say the quality will still be high.
"It'll look great," MSNBC president Phil Griffin said. "We're thrilled about it."

Jeremiah 17:5
Paul Reubens, better known as Pee-Wee Herman, once got arrested for...enjoying himself very much...at an adult movie theater.
Obama is getting to be a bigger joke than anyone could have imagined. When the fall comes, and it will, the noise it makes will make Krakatoa sound like a fleas flatulence in comparison.
I just laughed myself to death, nice one!
HBO will also produce an Inaugural kick-off special
that would make Leni Riefenstahl proud...

All schools, post offices and psychiatric offices should close. This is the new beginning of a wonderful socialist America!
We should be so proud. And so close to Martin Luther Kink Day!
Oh the glory of this! How America could be so fortunate as to be the first of the western world nations to have an African at the helm! And a Marxist to boot.
I'll be certain to tape this event so that I can share it with others for all posterity!
Just think about how much fun we'll have living in a society that will eventually morph into what once was the Soviet Union. Spying, gulaging, informing!
What role do you see Barney Fwank playing in this spectacular?
How many months after the inhoguaration do you believe this nation has left?
Blatant MSM favoritism. Makes me sick.
You cannot have any TV channel on, without the possibility of Obama worship being heard and seen.
I have taken to watching The Food Channel, and other relatively non-political channels. Since Nov.4, the TV is not on much anyway, or the radio for that matter.
What’s up with those stupid Zero Coins that are for sale all over TV, not just on the shopping channels either.
The next 4 years needs a BARF ALERT for the entire duration of this usurper’s administration.
That picture is sadly profound. RIP USA. The libtards finally did the nation in. Jan.20, 2009, a date that will not be forgotten. It seems sad in the way that 9-11 was sad. I do feel just like that photo shows, as if my country has died. sigh.
I am sure you’ve seen a posting of the picture of Obama refusing to place hand over heart during The Pledge of Allegiance. In the pic, Hillary and others are repectfully looking at the Flag and have their hands over hearts as is customary and patriotic.
Everytime I see that SOB Zero with his hands straight down in that pic, with his nose in the air...makes my blood boil. He doesn’t deserve to be president, for so many reasons.
