A wheelchair at the inauguration

Outgoing Vice President Cheney apparently injured himself while moving and will be attending the inauguration in a wheelchair.

Of course, Vice President Cheney doesn't have to worry, like the rest of us with disabilities, about the fact that golf carts are being used to transport "people with disabilities" to the inauguration check point areas (thus excluding those who can't transfer into a golf cart or transport their equipment that way), about the "bumpy surfaces, grassy areas, and public transportation at crush capacity" and the fact that there was no serious attempt at planning to include people with disabilities. (See my previous post here with links to other bloggers.)

I love the irony in this. Would it be mean to hope every elevator in Washington DC he approaches is broken today?
