Think it's an accident that Cheney got booed?
I was just sitting here laughing at the video of Cheney getting booed at the Washington Nationals home opener. Apparently, it's a long held tradition that the first pitch of the season opener is thrown out by the President or VP stretching way back to the Washington Senator's days.
Funny, Bush chose to go to Cincinatti for his first pitch moment this year, where he took catcall protection in the form of wounded US military personnel who went out before him.
Then he delegated Cheney to go out and take the boos from the Washington crowd. Afraid of the perception of being openly booed, Mr. President?

That is obviously a rhetorical question.

I just thought it was particularly cowardly and crass.

Ooo. Good observation. I like the part about "he took catcall protection in the form of wounded US military personnel."
The man's a tool.

Did you see it? They carried Bush live on CNN and MSNBC. Announcer, then visibly wounded soldier walks out, then Bush, who, despite having been with him in the dugout chose that moment to hug him. It made me sick.
