Inauguration Day, Part 1

All this reminds me...

What were people thinking in 2004?  Voting for Bush in 2000 was reasonable.  The country certainly (and reasonably) had Clinton-fatigue.

But by 2004, Bush was a known quantity.  How could half of us have missed that?

Remember, it wasn't too long after that when the scales finally started to fall from our eyes.  Maybe it was a testament to Rove, et al. that they held it together just long enough to get through Nov 2004.
