A Des Moines-based corps of dancing and drumming black kids were very excited about their participation in today's Inaugural Parade. They took a 30 hour bus ride to get to D.C.
Unfortunately, C-SPAN misidentified the group in its on-air graphics and just now, in the piece Brian Williams narrated during the NBC Nightly News, they showed video of Obama dancing in the viewing box and the ISISERETTES on the parade route dancing at the same time. Unfortunately, Williams misidentified the Des Moines kids, too.
