WASHINGTON - Greeted with loud boos and some cheers, Vice President Dick Cheney threw out the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday at the Washington Nationals’ home opener.

Cheney wore a red-and-blue Nationals jacket that seemed bulky, perhaps filled out by a bulletproof vest. Security agents ringed the top edge of the outdoor stadium.

Last year, the capital’s first with a baseball team since 1971, President Bush tossed out the first pitch at the home opener. Many fans were late to their seats because security lines at metal detectors — installed for the president’s visit — were still 20 deep when the game began.


Man he looks evil in that photo! Interesting article too.

EDIT: added new videos.

1. Let's make him have a boo hoo day wherever he goes.

Give him the message....

[tridim]

2. Damn Quicktime

I'm getting audio only. Anyone else?

[mb7588a]

3. it worked ok for me, but i'm on an apple. nt.

[mtnsnake]

4. Same for me

Quicktime is a royal pain.

[mb7588a]

7. edit now has a wmp version for you guys from C&L. nt.

[tridim]

9. Thanks! That's 99% boos and jeers if you ask me

Good work baseball fans!

[mb7588a]

11. Carville is there, I'd love to see a video of him during that. nt.

[TroubleMan]

34. Use quicktime alternative

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm

[tridim]

35. I do

But I have the real thing installed too. Didn't work on either.

[blitzen]

5. here's a better version...

more representative of what really happened

6. He forgot his human shield like * uses. BTW, was anyone hurt? :)

[mb7588a]

8. No reported injuries,

but leave it to inaccurately throw out a preemptive strike.

[sabra]

10. actually

[Flying Dream Blues]

38. And still got booed. The guy's such a hero. nt

[FSogol]

27. He had human shields, three Iraq vets, one on crutches.

He was still loudly booed. The old-guy freeper next to me chided us for not standing up out of respect. We laughed at him.

[babylonsister]

12. Bwhahahaha! He got royally booed AND laughed at! nt

[MadHound]

13. Geez Louise, can't anybody in this administration throw?

Bush boy throws like a child, and puts it out high and wide. Cheney throws like an old, old man, high, wide and can't even get it to the plate. Thank God they don't have this "throw the first ball out" tradition in football, damn, what a disaster that would be:eyes:

[mb7588a]

14. We could ammend the constitution:

- 35 years of age
- natural born citizen
- 14 years of residency
- 80mph fastball!!!

[MadHound]

15. LOL!!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Well, it wouldn't have to be 80mph. I'd be happy if they got it to the plate, close to the strike zone.

[mb7588a]

16. I bet Condi Rice would enjoy

doing a "Ceremonial First Kickoff" at an NFL game.

[helderheid]

17. I gotta give him credit though - at least he was brave enough not to hide

behind wounded soilders like * did when he threw out a pitch.

[mb7588a]

19. He was there with wounded soldiers, but not hiding so much. nt.

[gatorboy]

18. Unfortunately, Cheney probably enjoys it.

His lifeforce feeds on pain and anger...

[file83]

20. Kick & R, & BOO!

[HughBeaumont]

21. The Pink Satan strains his Pacemaker to the point of pain.

Who even thought having Darth Sidious Cheney toss out the first pitch at a Nats game would be a good idea? Why didn't they just have NAMBLA or a Klansman throw it out?

[mb7588a]

25. I'm curious if this kind of thing does hurt him,

or if he is impervious to pain. He has the heart, and the foot thing (gout, is it?)...makes me wonder.

[marions ghost]

33. No emotions

so don't worry about him getting his feelings hurt. There really ARE people who thrive on negative reactions. They don't experience it the same way as the rest of us. It just gives them another excuse to dominate others.

[qanda]

22. How embarrassing

I almost felt sorry for the old fart. Almost!

[Rosco T.]

23. Someone make a YouTube version of this please.... n/m

[IndyOp]

24. I am sorry Mr. Cheney - but you *are* doing evil...

I know you don't understand. You don't have a clue. That is why the situation is sad as well as MADDENING.

Step down. Take * with you. Do it tomorrow morning. Go. Get out. Now. Take the entire administration. Let the Senate elect one Dem and on Repub to take over.

You are racing us into an abyss and we hate it -- with WHITE HOT intensity.

[marions ghost]

31. hey I like that idea

elect one Dem and one Pug to take over...you mean "balanced government"?

[Joe Chi Minh]

26. Doesn't he look like Mickey Rooney! Though Rooney never

looked down-in-the-mouth like that.

[Cyrano]

28. Was the catcher smart enough to use a Kevlar vest and face mask?

[bottomofthehill]

29. Just got back from the game and the highlight was.....

Booing the the Big Dick. He Sallied in a throw from the front of the mound, bounced it before the plate (what a pu**y) and looked like an ass with his Nationals jacket and shit kicker boots. The game was awful but the pregame booing was a blast.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

30. awesome!

what a cool experience to be able to boo the shitkicker in person rather than just yell at a tv.

[bottomofthehill]

32. Good point

I usually find myself yelling at the TV it really was fun in person, there was no free speech zone here, just lots of people expressing their feelings

[Panda1]

36. Very cool!

Can you describe more...getting in etc.
Were you screened or not? Searched?

[Nostradammit]

39. Excellent photo!

and the crowd looked on nervously...

[gatorboy]

37. Good God, those boo's were loud!

It sounded like an F5...I almost hit the basement. :rofl:
