Philly PG Andre Miller didn’t vote, but he’s going to the Inauguration to party, anyway.

[MinM]

Sixers G Andre Miller (above) who didn’t vote in the November election, is off to Washington, D.C., to see President-elect Barack Obama sworn in as the first black president of the United States. The tickets came through a contact at the University of Utah. He plans to make a full day of it, too, from the swearing in, to the celebrations.

“I think I’m supposed to be going to a Hillary Clinton function, like a night function, like a formal dinner or something,” Miller said. “I’m not sure yet. I’ll find out more.”...

After identifying himself as conservative, Miller said he keeps his political opinions to himself. He did say, though, that this isn’t the first political event he’s attended.

In college, he got to know Utah Senator Orrin Hatch.

“He’s a good guy,” Miller said. “He offered me a job when I was in college. He used to always be around (the college).”

1. Why does he care?

If he didn't care enough to vote, why does he care to be at the inauguration?

Just so his face is in the crowd?

5. he probably voted for someone else

people pull that "oh i didn't even vote" -line when their guy loses out of shame sometimes

2. They really have their priorities straight about who's who.

3. He doesn't pay his child support. Just sayin'.

4. If this doesn't suck,

nothing does.

Slack-jawed know-nothing gets to go while other, deserving, worthwhile citizens don't.

Ah, well, it's good to be a jock, isn't it? I guess we have Orrin Hatch to thank for this largesse, right?

Wouldn't you just love to hear this dickwad's definition of "conservative"?
