thank you Mr. Chief Justice.

No really.  Sincerely.  Thank you VERY MUCH for screwing up the pause points and then flubbing the oath in order to make the new President look like an idiot so that the Right Wing media machine has something more to talk about in order to avoid any actual items of substance or significance.

Seriously, I was really wondering if the radio stations would just go quiet today after it was all over, but now, you have given them a whole wealth of material to help them keep their ratings up in this dark economic time.

Thank you again,
Joe

p.s., is a public speaking class too much to ask?

Update: ok, a funny comment from Greg Laden's blog:

Regarding screwing up the oath . . .

Maybe the two of them should try it again . . . maybe in about 4 years or so.

oh i know (both facts), along with the discussion on "does the 20th amendment make the oath redundant?" (since it names a transition time without the oath even being mentioned).

I was more being sarcastic on how the right wing media machine actually *almost* had to talk about something of substance, but thanks to the flub, they got 48 hours of good ratings ranting on this absolutely pointless triviality.

Actually, I heard more about Rev. Lowry's last line in the benediction than about the oath.
