Hmmmm. . . haven't there been protests at *every* inauguration? Probably
not newsworthy (read: violent and loud) enough to cover.

Tim--

Have you seen the vid? This was many protesters throwing trash at the
presidential motorcade. It was a fairly rowdy scene, with the president
right at the center. Bush couldn't even leave the car to walk the last
bit, as is tradition. When citizens are throwing eggs at the president,
that's news. When placed in context of the level of contentiousness of the
election, the Supreme Court decisions, and so on, the absence of coverage
was inexusable.
