43rd Presidential Inauguration

Washington, DC, 20 January 2001... M. Wags, DC Correspondent

What can I say, but it was a wet, cold, and a miserable day when G . "Dubya" Bush took office.

I got down close to the parade route on Pennsylvania Avenue in time to see the first family head for home from the Capital at 2:30 PM. Well, I didn't actually see anything with all the rich folk who paid to sit in the bleachers and the protesters at the Archive-Navy Memorial (Click on photos to See larger pictures ).

The protesters did play a round of capture the flag with the police. Someone took down and ran off with one of the flags at the Navy Memorial and another protester replaced an old American flag upside down on the flag pole. When the limos drove by all the protesters put their fingers in the air and saluted and chanted, "Not my President."

Once I had enough pictures of the protesters, I journeyed down toward the White House. I found a better place to watch the parade standing out front of the Washington Hotel across the street from the White House.

I also got a picture of Drew Cary who was riding a Hummer up 15th Street. I think the police chief went a little overboard because there was a line of police along both sides of the parade route standing in front of the spectators. That is why you see police in every picture I took.
