The Pre-Inauguration Party - Drinking Game
January 21, 2013 - 10:44am
Well, it's 5pm somewhere in the world but we thought the following would provide some levity to the potentially stoic teleprompter's upcoming speech... and for those wondering how long they will have to stand in the cold.. the shortest ever inaugural speech was: George Washington gave the shortest inauguration address in history during his second inauguration on March 4, 1793. Washington's second inaugural address was only 135 words long! The second shortest inaugural address was given by Franklin D. Roosevelt at his fourth inauguration and was only 558 words long.
