7. That's a lot of Gussying.

They showed the stands. They were within sight of the presidential reviewing stands. It was about a half hour after Bush* walked past to his climate controlled reviewing stand.

If they weren't dressed for the weather, they must have been cold. I heard it took nearly two hours to get through security.

5. Maybe all the "regular people" had to go back and put on their suits

and ties . . .

8. The valet parking staff moonlighting as *supporters
