GOVERNOR Kaine
So Timmy is our Governor.
I decided not to brave the cold and rainy weather and am watching the inauguration on public TV. Here's my stream of consciousness notes:
Cannons are neat. I'd really like to own one one day.
Kaine's speech? Blech. We'll see the real one Monday night.
I think Larry Sabato's brain has frozen. He was just talking about drug induced highs.
Warner really did look sad through all of this, as if he's really sorry to be leaving the job.
They're interviewing a Thomas Jefferson impersonator. It's really creepy. There's something really unsettling about him.
Why is Bill Bevins involved in this? He should be spinning discs somewhere, not making a crappy attempt at political commentary. He just said something about how it would have taken Jefferson a week to get to Williamsburg, implying the state's transportation problems were not that bad. Bill, let me introduce you to a wonderful new invention, it's called a CAR. Vroom vroom, beep beep.
Sabato's gone. Maybe he and Bevins got in a mustache cage match. I thought Larry was scrappier than that.
Much is being made about this being in Colonial Williamsburg. I think everybody would rather be in Richmond, like I am right now.
For covering a parade, there's very few pictures of the actual parade. It's kinda like showing a state fair, but just looking at the parking lot the whole time.
Finally, the parade has started. It really looks miserable there. A decent crowd for a crappy day.
Bill Bevins is straight? Well, at least he has kids. Wow.
What would a parade in Virginia be without fifes, drums, and tricorn hats?
Corny joke number 245.
Interesting point. Our last two governors were not born in Virginia. I'd add Allen, who was obviously born in California, baby.
Hmm, with all those children there, wonder if Marcus Vick will make an appearance.
It's still weird seeing women among the ranks at VMI.
Tech regimental band going by. The Highty Tighties are firing up the joint. (insert Marcus Vick joke here)
I swear, one of these days there's going to be a float in a parade that's just one guy walking down the street.
Still wondering where Sabato went. I'd REALLY like to hear him say something crass and embarrassing.
What the hell is the Asian Nation Newspaper?
Oh, that was a very unfortunate shot of a flag-girl... She's going to be made fun of in school because of that.
Asian-Indians of Hampton Roads. THREE GUYS AND A WHEELCHAIR GOING DOWN THE ROAD. Something tells me they didn't exist before the parade.
Even more miserable. It seems after watching the first few groups go by, many people are leaving already. Soon Kaine will be alone on the reviewing stand.
Ugh. It looks like the mud is starting to really flow on the streets... How much longer can this go on?
Someone get Linwood off of that podium. He really doesn't need to be sitting through this.
IT HAPPENED! UVA's Feature Twirler was alone walking down the street! And she dropped the baton RIGHT when the camera cut to her! The hilarity continues! Oh, too perfect.
Marching bands are dead to me. I really don't get them.
More pain. Commentators have to fill time by talking about marching bands. My eyes and ears are bleeding.
For the love of pete... Don't say inaugural balls.
More thoughts later, I can't take this anymore, and there's basketball on.
