In case y'all are wondering why Dubya wasn't at the inauguration

It's not that he was trying to snub anyone or anything. He got his invite, and attempted to attend.

The poor guy didn't pay close attention to the instructions, and was on the wrong coast looking for the wrong event.

He was looking for the "conflagration in Washington," and thought he had been invited to watch some Park Rangers fight a forest fire near Seattle. By the time someone informed him of his mistake, the event was over, so he went home.

NOW I understand why Cheney had such easy time talking him into a Department of Homeland Security.

W thought Cheney meant "home" security, what with all these menacing chairs and pretzels and all. W thought "Taliban" was just a division of the Frito-Lay company.
