President Bush Booed At Baseball Game

President Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch tonight at the Washington Nationals season opener and the inaugural game at Washington's National Ballpark. But the President — an avid baseball fan and the former owner of the Texas Rangers — probably didn't get the fan response he was hoping for, as he was largely booed by the 41,000-person sellout crowd as he walked out to throw the pitch.

George W. Bush: the 43rd president both chronologically and qualitatively.

It's about time he heard what people really think of him. Next time, he'll lock up the stadium in a "Free Speech Zone".

[DanaGarrett]

This one of the finest moments in the history of free speech.

Damn right.

[JaneaneTheAcerbicGoblin]

Amen!

George Bush is a war criminal. He is also a crook. He has bankrupted the country while enriching his
"upper class" friends.
He dare not go out in public because the public is overwhelmingly disgusted with him and the rest of the sociopaths in his government.

Speaking of lining your pockets, did the owner of this team have the new stadium paid for with tax dollars? I imagine the answer is yes, since it happens all the time now.

In fact, Bush made out like a bandit after the people of Arlington paid for a new stadium for the Rangers, then sold the team and new building for 165 million dollars, without spending any of his own money toward the increase in team value. It's good work, if you can get it.

About time !!!!!!!!!!!

That pitch was by far the best act of his presidency. Why is he not in jail for his crimes? How much did they have to pay people to cheer for him?

Wow - the people speak!

After he got off the field I bet Cheney leaned over and said, "Don't worry they weren't booing they were just saying, 'Boo-ush Booo-ush' and being the genius he is he believed it."

Sounds like that Simpsons episode where Springfield has a film festival, and Mr. Burns's film gets booed. Then Smithers says they were saying "Boo-urns! Boo-urns!".

Great!!!

Maybe Cheney puts toothpaste on Bush's toothbrush as well. Or perhaps, it is the other way around. I think Cheney makes a better Monty Burns. Remember the visit to the Mayo Clinic? "You have everything."

Isn't he supposed to be mourning dead soldiers?

There had to have been some MAJOR security checks for this game.

Did anyone know ahead of time he was coming to throw out the ball? I'll bet not.

==================

Of course not, and all those people can ask for a refund.

They weren't booing, they were saying that Al Qaeda is "Looooosing"

[Stuart]

Ha! Thanks for the clarification, and hail to the chief.

Baseball size.

[ohnoyoudidnot!]

Ha! Excellent!

[livesimply]

Is this a first? I've never heard of this happening before.

[nellie]

Happened to Cheney. I don't know that it's ever happened to a president.

[DumbDad]

May be the first time W ever actually heard the truth in the 'polls' he dismisses all the time. He may hit the bottle soon.
