"WASHINGTON -- It's one of the hottest tickets in Washington this winter, and unlike most of the parties planned for President Bush's second inauguration, it's free and the dress is come-however-you-can-stay-warm. But getting one of the 250,000 tickets to Bush's swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the Capitol won't be easy, particularly for people from so-called red states that voted Republican in November.

For most people, the only way they can get a ticket is through their senator or representative and the demand for them in GOP-majority states is running high.

Each senator, regardless of party, gets 400 tickets to distribute. House members get about 200 apiece. To meet the demand, Republican lawmakers are asking Democrats for their leftovers, since not that many Democrats plan to make the trip."

The article goes on to say that Pukes in red states are getting huge requests for tickets but Dems in blue states might have some left over. I suggest we email our Senators and request tickets. Go to the inauguration and turn your back on Bush or just burn the tickets and keep them out of the hands of bushbots.
