But I thought Rev. Moon had already been crowned as Messiah!

Second inaugurations tend to be relatively low-key affairs compared with the first go-round, but the most experienced concierge in Washington feels certain this one will be a blowout to rival its predecessor.

"We're not calling it an inauguration," said Jack Nargil, head concierge at the Hay-Adams Hotel, as he gazed across the street at the White House last week. "Because the president's supporters believe he has a mandate, there's going to be, in effect, a coronation."


Link.

Does anyone doubt that the inauguration on January 20th is going to be the most tasteless display of tastelessness ever seen outside a Super Bowl halftime show? The only question is whether Bush is going to come out in a crown and ermine robes, or a military uniform. It all depends on which of his leadership role models he decides he wants to emulate.

Franklin D. Roosevelt held a low-key inaugural for himself during wartime, but not George W. Bush. Why should he deprive himself of anything? He's never had to, why start now?
