The idea here is to turn the inaugural festivities into a negative for Bush.
Write to your local paper and explain that inasmuch as the country is at war, it is shockingly inappropriate for Bush to spend $44 million on his coronat…oops…inauguration. He should just take the oath and get to work. Pictures of wealthy donors getting out of limousines in tuxedoes and cowboy boots are just wrong when our troops are suffering and dying in Iraq. It is extremely callous on Bush’s part to put on this kind of spectacle.
Bush will hold the inauguration and all the parties will go forward. We won’t stop that. But we can turn it into a liability for Bush. So sharpen your fingers and write.
