Will Bush and Cheney be booed when they are introduced tomorrow?
The schedule that I've seen said they will be announced at 11:20 a.m. Then, at 11:22 a.m., the Vice-President Elect will be announced. So, the crowd will have two minutes to finally boo The Worst President In History.

Do you think there will be booing? I'll be in my living room in Washington State, so any booing I do won't be audible on television!

2. I'm in Washington State too
Maybe if we boo together, and loud enough, they WILL hear us in the other Washington! LOL

3. Well if there is, the TV viewers won't hear it
But seriously, I sort of doubt if there will be a lot of booing. It's a day of celebration.

5. Hopefully not. The day's emphasis being on "Hope," and not despair. nt

6. I hope so!
I'm also hoping that the crowd will break into song:

"Na na naaaa na, Na na naaaa na, hey hey hey, GOODBYE!!!"

:evilgrin:

16. I hope not. It's not what Obama would want and it would engender
shit loads of bad press about dems.

7. I will be booing and gesticulating wildly in front of my TV set.
I'll be home alone so no one need be offended.

You should hear some of the things I say to Bush/Cheney when their faces appear on the screen...

8. Is Cheney even going to be there? First I've heard that he is...
A "normal" VP, certainly, but Cheney does whatever he pleases so I figured he'd be seeking the safety of the dark zone....

10. As much fun as it might be, it would really spoil the mood to do it at Obama's inauguration.

11. I think absolute silence would be even more insulting than booing.

27. YES! That is what I'm hoping for.
Booing would be inappropriate IMO. We are better than Palin's hordes. But silence would be very eloquent.

13. want to make a bet that Cheney and Bush do not stay for the whole event
or will Cheney just go to sleep, and Bushie does not give a crap about Obama.

21. I would love to hear absolute, uncomfortable silence. Like when a bad joke bombs.
Exactly like when a bad joke bombs.

17. The evil side of me would love to see and hear
2 million people booing the Resident. But it might be even more powerful to have 2 million people being absolutely silent. I wonder what emotions Shrub will feel as he looks out at the IMMENSE sea of people and compares it to his inaugurations.

19. I'll be booing from my living room!
If there is booing at the scene, we probably won't be able to hear it.

23. I hope not.
I don't want the news to be about those two losers. I hope they slink away without incident.

24. I think a long moment of silence would be most
appropriate. No boo-ing.

26. I certainly hope not.

There's this thing called manners, which is important to remember when attending important and prestigious events.

We've had eight years to boo these two assholes. It would be best to keep our dignity and behave in a manner befitting our country on such a great day.

29. I hope they don't get booed. I hope they get ignored, so they wander off into the sunset ...
... as the failures they are.
