The transition is under way. The cost of free tickets to the inauguration. Anything you can see there you can see better on TV. Houses for rent for insane prices.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Bill’s secrets, the money he gets from overseas. RFK jr as head of FEMA or to replace Hillary in the Senate. When relatives take over congressional seats. Teddy Kennedy’s health care play. Senator Jesse Jackson jr? Can he win an election? Can Republicans field a candidate worth their weight in dog crap for the seat? RNC Chair election coming up – who is running and who will win? Michael Steele, Newt, Fred Thompson? Or one of the many state chairs, Michigan, California, South Carolina, who want it? What have these state chairs actually accomplished? Losing elections in Michigan, bad leadership?

Breaks at the time: Hillary accepts Secretary of State. She’s more hawkish than Obama. Now what is the purpose of Joe Biden? This stops Hillary from challenging Obama in the primary in 2012.

Thrills running up or down Chris Matthews’ legs in the next segment.

A brief discussion of Chumbawumba. The media suddenly is worried about their credibility, except Chris Matthews. Seems Chris has a new job – making sure Obama succeeds. William Ayers resurfaces AFTER the election. Now media wants to tell people about who Obama is a week and a half too late. The media love fest and sellout continues. Chris Matthews clip talking about his new job. Great expectations that no one can live up to…with the spin of the media. Auto bailout and the failure of Hank Paulson. No more bailouts. What bankruptcy will mean for the “Big Three.” Senator Inhofe – Hero. You, too, can apply for bailout funds. It’s always the big, expensive bills that have to be passed immediately without review or debate. Bankruptcy is key to reopening union contracts that are killing the automakers.

Humanitarian Bob Geldof collects $65,000 for speech on poverty, will he beat people for speech on violence?

Nerdy, unattractive couple that met online playing “Second Life,” actually married in real life and the in the video game, are getting divorced because she caught him having sex with a virtual hooker in the video game. She says the marriage in the game is a serious as their real one. They are losers. She has found a new love through playing World of Warcraft. (this is not a joke.)

Goodbyes, etc.
