[exprodigal83]

I watched some of the Inaugural Ball but I must have missed the dance their talking about...? SMH I bet it was beautifully done. lol

[MidgardEagle]

It was. Its climax featured Michelle Bush lifting a pyramid comprised of twenty naked cheerleaders with her frighteningly muscular arms.

[TheonlyNiyrulegend]

[r31ncarnat3d]

America: The Ballet

[FlakMeister]

This is true bi-partisanship right there. Republicans and Democrats united in the effort of representing American culture through spicy latin tunes and a pronking hiphop waltz.

Will Cummings for Senate 2010!

[DCUnited4]

Burke and Annandale lol that would be the most nondescript suburban district ever

Lot of weird cult shit in Burke though

[mk19780102]

[charlesandhisworld]

Froebs: There was another video where the character Rep. William Cummings basically used the word "pronk" to replace any word he wanted. Lol.

[Froebs]

[shadowslider11]

COME HITHER TO MY BOSOM YE BLIND AND IGNORANT MASSES. LET ME SHOW YOU THE LIGHT IN THIS OUR DARK WOTLD. its the onion. they do satire. its fake. relax.

[TheTurophile]

Either this is a well-crafted joke on the part of the Onion or I have somehow come into contact with a horrible mind-altering drug... this can't be real. And if it is a joke, it certainly couldn't have been C-span's fault... this has to have been altered. This couldn't possibly have been an actual meeting for the proposal of the inaugural ceremonies...

[sampsonoff]

those are all actors for the Onion.

nothing is real

[Wesley452]

@ TheTurophile

It's a joke dude...

[EmeryTokar]

retard

[TheTurophile]

Oh. Sorry, I've never heard of The Onion before. It seems very real.

[TheTurophile]

sorry, I've never heard of the onion. I guess I'm just THAT gullible. But it seems very real.

[bongobingoaz]

Sshh! Quiet! you'll ruin it for the other "gullible" people. And the person who told you it was fake ought to be taken out and shot!

[ads9998]

LOLOLOL. Onion...

[ACDavis629]

Hip hip waltz. Genius.

[Incognit05]

Mr. Haller is my hero.

Onion for the win

[DayzdProductions]

I can't tell if Parrotflock is actually this retarded or is just trolling you guys.

[Mcheetah]

OMG!!! It's the perfect mix between teh Semi-Exotic and the Mundane. Like David Archuletta.

(Okay, I admit it. i don't know anything about American Idol. I don't get it, myself!)

[Lightstrikers]

If only C-Span was this mundane.

[Gimmal1492]

So this is what happens when the House gets creative ... scary ;)

[daddylonglegss]

"soul pilgrims"

[PuffsPlusWithLotion]

that was hilarious!

[alluring696]

They destroyed Palin's reputation while we don't here any bad about the democrats. You can clearly see how BIASED the media can be.

[70k0]

Sure, the media is biased, but all the fox news channel does is discriminate against any democratic/atheist idea.

To Palin, she destroyed what reputation she had more than any news outlet, all the abuse of power among other things did not help at all.

[parrotflock]

Let's see, Fox News always covers both sides equally, and how is that discriminatory? The fact is, they are the only media outlet that is close to far on the entire market. The only thing that hurt Palin was the media bias, and anyone can see that.

[AnonEyeMouse]

"Fox News always covers both sides equally" Oh wow... you are truly hilarious.

I bet you think the banks were innocent too and that dastardly liberals forced them to sell loans to flok who couldn't afford them...

Damn reality and it's clear liberal bias...

[parrotflock]

You obviously don't watch Fox, and just listen to what your masters tell you. No, I don't think the banks are innocent, but it is part of the record that the democratic Congress forced banks to make loans to people that couldn't afford them. Check the record, moron. Facts are facts, no matter what you wish to believe about them. We are in this mess thanks to Congress, not to mention poor oversight by the President. He should have called them on this, and he should have never allowed it.

[AnonEyeMouse]

Of course I watch fox - That's why I have such a low opinion of it. I also watch real journalists doing real investigative reporting.

The act of congress that 'forces banks to make loans' said nothing about sub prime harvesting or targetting advertising specifically at people unable to pay.

Not to mention that it was the bank's lobbyists who bought the act in the first place.

[AnonEyeMouse]

It's amazing how conservatives who clamour for deregulation for business and regulation of the poor are quick to point at others when there policies push the world over into another great depression.

Presidential lack of oversight? Ha! This was done with full awareness and consent from the white house - Bush's presidency has been one of pure criminality, seeing what they can get away with it while the faithful wave their flags and congratulate themselves for being born in the land of free doom.

[blayzebright]

You're actually discussing this in the comments of a joke video AnonEyeMouse? Me thinks you might want to learn to relax.

[AnonEyeMouse]

Baiting retards on youtube is how I relax...

[XRISSX77]

That was so god  damn funny! favorited!

[PuffsPlusWithLotion]

wow; that sucks; say one negative thing and someone marks you as spam

[parrotflock]

No wonder they spent a 150 million on the ridiculous Odrama inauguration day. Three times what Bush spent, and people gave him hell for that. Where were they when they announced the amount they planned to spend on the Odrama day?

[evilplanner]

Not so. Yes; the grand total is $150 million for the inauguration, including Obama's security. Bush's total, however, was calculated at $40 million WITHOUT security, so comparing the two is pretty disingenuous.

Obama's inauguration tag, minus security, is only $45 million. So it's only $5 million more than Bush's.

You can perhaps argue that there was too much spent on security, but that's sort of going into a separate argument.

[parrotflock]

0Bush's TOTAL was $45 million, as to Obama's TOTAL was three times that, plain and simple. No matter how you liberals want to try and dissect it, there is no getting around the difference, and the fact that the major media ignored it.

[evilplanner]

It was the norm before this inauguration to calculate the "TOTAL" price tag without security, as I said. That's why it's stated as the total. Do you have any numbers to back your claim? Links?

I like how I'm automatically a liberal because I do my research, and not, you know, a fiscal conservative or anything.

Also: calm down and talk like an adult. You're beginning to sound a touch petulant.

[luke55664]

$172 million

[alluring696]

You're right!

[AnonEyeMouse]

Bear in mind Bush only really needed to pay for the water cannons, cs gas and mounted police to break up the protesters who were angry with his fraudulent election - Obama had to pay for party favours and goody bags for 1.7 million well wishers who turned up to celebrate the end of 8 years under an illigitimate warmongering retard.

I just bought my Obama inaugeral day commemerative kazoo off of Ebay.

[parrotflock]

Sorry to bust your fantasy, but Bush won his 2nd term with a higher percentage than Obama won his 1st, even with all the hype over "The One". Bush made the hard decisions regardless of the popularity, and we know Obama will only make the ones that make him look good to his base. I find your comment funny coming from someone who obviously only has a 5th grade education, calling Bush the usual names. I hope you are happy in your mom's basement playing with your kazoo. You are truly pathetic.

[AnonEyeMouse]

Bush stole the second election - a level of criminality that defined his entire term of office.

It must be hard, being so uncritically patriotic as everything good and great about your nation was systematically eradicated by your 'leader'.

The constitution lies in ruins, any claim to enlightened and moral behaviour smashed to pieces by an administration hellbent on torture and totalitarian policies.

Indeffinate detention without trial on the say so of the president - How American is that?

[parrotflock]

Get ur facts straight, that is what you people whined about the FIRST election. He beat Kerry fair and square, and that is part of the record. So if all you say is true, why has YOUR democratic Congress sat by and allowed it? They have the power to change EVERYTHING the President does, and can stop him from doing EVERYTHING he wants. So if it is so bad, so wrong, why didn't they do anything?

[whiskers123]

Cause both parties are the same thing...

[AnonEyeMouse]

What record? The diebold one? I don't have time to educate you automatons - google Greg Palast, go watch some videos by a real investigative journalist.

Fact is the Bush administration stole both the 2000 and 2004 elections. That's not even controversial to say outside of the Fox News bubble.

MY Democratic Congress? Hardly, Yours I think you'll find. Let's face it, your political parties are hopelessly corrupted.

If Clinton can be impeached for a blow job, Bush should have got the chair.

[andrewbnkjv]

Change you can believe in...when you know what is.

[yawehking]

They shoulda done the Macarena..

[blago2016]

That would have been so funny!

[alluring696]

Or they should have done Funky Town...

[GretchenDawntreader]

LOL whoever would come up with this dance thought up the "poem" too...what a clunker.

[wkdtickets]

You guys are incredible.... why you don't have your own tv show is beyond me! Well.... the internet IS superior to tv, I suppose. Good choice of venues!

[chocofreak13]

They...do?

[vengefulbeauty]

An inaugural dance would've been awesome. :(

[KholaBear]

lmao $600 for velvet and $50 for GLUE so he can make it himself lmao

[andrewbnkjv]

lol- Man- Break dancing soul Pilgrims.

[andrewbnkjv]

lol-........

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

The bottom line is it's fun to see older people taking part in absurd humor. It's a thin line to tread because before they know it the Alzheimer's kicks in and they're doing and saying things that should be funny, but are in reality horribly tragic.

[snowemerald]

ahaha.

[IYAMNI]

Funnier in concept than execution.
