Moe bar was packed to standing room only. The TVs were loud and the crowd was quiet except to cheer (or boo at Bush, Cheney, and Warren). One moment I haven’t seen mentioned elsewhere: Warren’s bizarre over-enunciation of the name “Sasha.” Everyone at Moe had been tensely quiet during Warren’s (not as bad as it could have been) speech, until that odd moment, when a wave of relieved laughter swept over the room.
Also, politics isn’t really my beat, but I just wanted to chime in to say that Obama’s inaugural speech hit pretty much every note I hoped to hear.
I noticed that too when I watched it at work. I had to compulsively repeat it in his tone also, “Saaashaaaa.” What a wierdo.

I noticed it too. I thought it was creepy.
@2 He’s only been President for a couple of hours. Try as you might, you’re not being clever.
Yeah, my husband and I had complete WTF looks on our face during the “Sashaaa and Maliaaaa” moment. I think maybe he was trying to compare their names to “Yeshua and Isa” in the next line. It didn’t work…
He sort of did the same thing with Malia. Everyone at the Paramount had a good laugh.
#4: No, I’m including his entire 15 year political career.
definitely a pedo, i was pretty sure and that clinched it. his earlier description of pedophilia as a grown man with “a very young child,” rather than saying something more accurate like, “an adult and a child,” it was clear that he enjoyed saying it.
The names to him are so exotic and weird if they aren’t Biblical.
also, why didn’t warren shower for the fucking event? his hair was greasy and weird.
Me thinks …
It’s a good thing Obama chose Warren for the invocation. Otherwise what would the cynics and whiners have to bitch about?
Everyone at the house part we were at noticed this, too. I started growling like Eartha Kitt. Seriously. Odd moment.
Happy day!!!
Too bad Lowery gave a better speech than Warren. It only makes me more defiant. As true to my word, an atheist (I believe similar The Stranger’s creed), I feel it necessary to somehow address this fine man, and assert that religion is BULLSHIT.
everyone at Spitfire cracked up over “Sasha”, too.
we all thought that Aretha’s hat was the real star of the inauguration.
Reverend Lowery’s appropriation of the old double-dutch chant in his benediction was genius, and helped scrub the stain of Warren’s creepy “prayer” from my offended mind.
stick to botching lineout, grandy
there were some very very very happy scientists at my lab meeting and caloric exchange party today!
Woo Hoo!
I was at Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse and there was the same reaction. He seemed to be overacting before that, but that one part just went far enough that there were several scattered bursts of laughter.
