LOL! Bush is getting BOOOOOED at the Nationals game.....!

[marmar]

:rofl: :rofl:

ESPN quickly went to a break.

[PearliePoo2]

1. Really?

Perfect!!!
Oh, yeah!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

2. That was great!! I was howling!!

bahaha :rofl:

hiya marmar :hi: :hug:

[LonePirate]

3. Some loud boos on top of that

Probably a bit more applause than boos; but the boos were definitely heard. Surely he must know how hated he in the Democratic Potomac region.

[tabasco]

46. He's hated everywhere, Sparky.

Maybe you don't get out much.

[elleng]

78. More boos than applause,

IMO.

[lebkuchen]

99. Oh, definitely! The Chimpster was given the finger

by tens of thousands.

From the sounds of it, the stadium was packed with several divisions of infantry!

[mr_hat]

4. Didn't waste any time getting off the mound, did he?

Fuck him - I'm proud that the Nat's fans let him have it.

[greenbriar]

49. and

he refused to throw the first pitch to the catcher because
the catcher is linked to steroids

[marmar]

50. Oh that's nice....coming from a cokehead and dry drunk.

:wtf:

[L0oniX]

74. ...

[elleng]

79. Where'd you

hear that?

[greenbriar]

82. heard it was going to be that way from talk radio friday

and just laughed

[Rosemary2205]

71. "didn't waste any time getting off the mound" -- DUZY

That's Bush's only talent - wham bam thank you ma'am.

[Dissent Is Patriotic]

No they didn't, they played the boos, but Joe Morgan and

the other guy didn't say a word about it. I am so thrilled people booed him.

[Postman]

13. Yeah. Pretty funny how there is audible booing of the POTUS and they act like nothing happened.

Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.

[HuffleClaw]

44. i guess they want to keep their jobs

and i can't blame them

[babylonsister]

5. Rec'd! One of the most deserving blivets on earth! nt

[thunder rising]

95. Bush now Knows the WORLD HATES his guts....HIS GUTS I TELL Ya

[FloridaJudy]

76. It's on YouTube

I went there and fed: Bush/baseball/boos into the search, and here it is!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHUAsTrl4JI

It's really a hoot the way the commentators are complimenting Bu$h's performance, all the time the fans are letting him know how they really feel!

:rofl:

[malaise]

77. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

that was lovely :rofl:

[Andrea]

90. I love it! Boooo Booooo

Listening to the announcement before he came out makes me think that some of those cheering were cheering for their new ball park, not him.

[pimpbot]

7. He was on the field for all of 30 seconds

Disappeared through the dugout tunnel really quick after throwing the pitch. Boos were really loud. ESPN commentators ignored it.

[lebkuchen]

100. Ignoring it was a tough act to pull off

The announcers really showed how controlled they are by the media bosses.

[Neecy]

8. I loved it!

Wow, he was FLOODED with booing....I was laughing my ass off. Way to go, DC!

And Denyce Graves was awesome singing the national anthem - a two-fer.

Jon Miller is a big Dem - he must have enjoyed the spectacle.

[sonias]

9. Great!

I have been booing him for 12 years as a Texan. Glad the rest of the country has finally caught on this guy is a fraud.

:rofl:


Sonia

[MadMaddie]

34. Sonia I lived in TX when he was governer I told everyone to

look at his record before they voted him in....they are all paying for it now.

We always knew he was a fraud!!:hi:

[Ilsa]

80. Same thing here. I'm still stuck in TX. But those

"I love him, he's a great cowboy" people couldn't find a single pic of him on a horse. They ignored his comments to Tucker Carlson making fun of a woman he was allowing to be put to death, and talked about him having a great education. They wouldn't answer on his business failures, bailouts, theft of public money (Rangers baseball), prior crimes, etc.

He has been too big of a part of my life since 1996 now.

[ColbertWatcher]

10. Pics/Video or it didn't happen! n/t

[marmar]

14. It just happened....Give it a minute. It'll be on YouTube shortly I'm sure.

n/t

[ColbertWatcher]

31. I am looking forward to it! n/t

[Liberal Veteran]

11. They weren't booing, they were chanting BOOOOOOUUUUUSHH!!!!

:rofl:

[YDogg]

12. heh

[pimpbot]

15. BEST REPLY

EVAR!

[PearliePoo2]

16. ESPN chickenshit sell-out bastards

went to a quick break?
Fucking enablers.

[pimpbot]

20. Well he ran off the field pretty quick

I'm surprised he didn't trot out with some wounded vets or something to discourage the boo'ing. I believe he did that a year or two ago at another Nats game.

[PearliePoo2]

26. You're right!

I remember him trotting out the wounded Vets. I was thinking at the time...why would these wounded guys be even SEEN with him, the fucking AWOL bastard.
Guess some vets are still lapping the Kool-aid?

[merwin]

37. You should be a little more sensitive with what you say about vets.

Many of them, after being wounded, are looking for something to cling to in order to make sense out of their injuries.

[Aristus]

61. Looking to Bush to make sense out of your injuries is like looking to

cigarettes in order to make sense out of your lung cancer...

[NJSecularist]

17. We need video!

[marmar]

21. It just happened....I'm sure it will be on YouTube shortly.

n/t

[thunder rising]

18. 9 more months and that SOB is going to have a hard time going anywhere!!

[Andrea]

91. Especially after he's convicted of war crimes

and imprisoned. :evilgrin:

[Hekate]

19. I wonder if KO will replay that for us during Countdown

:evilgrin:

Hekate

[proud2BlibKansan]

35. Check this out - last year

LOL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsBCm3l1JTw

[Berry Cool]

42. I sure hope he does, and it seems likely.

He's always happy when baseball season starts, and the booing of Bush is likely to amuse him.

[sharesunited]

22. Only historians can fairly judge him.

:rofl:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

23. did you see the black thing on home plate?

thay had the same thing after 911. i think it's a homing device and a "special" ball.

but, i said that then and people thought i was crazy.

[DesertRat]

24. That's great!

Can't wait to see it replayed on Fox News. :rofl: Actually I will look for it later on You Tube.

[VADem11]

25. Awesome

DC is one of the most Democratic cities in the country and its suburbs are pretty Democratic too. They even tried to cover it up and you could still hear the boos.

[tabasco]

48. They aren't booing him because he's a republican.

They're booing him because he is a traitor and has seriously fucked up this country.

[MadMaddie]

27. I was watching it and ......my DU friends.....it was......

just short of orgasmic. I said it....I was clapping and cheering for the crowd to keep on booing.

To make the experience even more memorable...* had that pissed look on his face when he can't control everything.

OH....I am going to keep that in my memory bank for the rest of my life.

Ah....life is good this Sunday.

Here is to the fantastic crowd!!
:toast:

[Ishoutandscream2]

28. The bastard knows he's hated.

But he still gets his hot dog and cold beer, so he really doesn't give a damn. And later on, Laura will tuck our little prince into bed and read him "My Pet Goat."

[marmar]

32. I hear she bought him the new "Scratch and Sniff" volume of "My Pet Goat"

:dunce:

[Ishoutandscream2]

36. Oh yes, you know our little prince is an excited boy tonight

Got to ride to the park in his big, black car. Then he got to stand on the field and throw the ball! And he'll have all the beer, hot dogs, and cotton candy he can eat. Oh, to be a prince!!!

[jmowreader]

102. Smells like goat shit, right?

No THANK you!

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. yes!!!

:woohoo:

[AnnieBW]

30. The best I can say

Is that he went to the mound, and Manny Acta managed to catch it. It was high. Of course, so was *.

[zonkers]

33. I always anticipated this would happen -- that Mr. Baseball would never be able to toss opening ball

w/out boos. So cool.

[JackBeck]

38. How un-American.

That's like booing an apple pie. How dare anyone voice their dissent, especially during a telecast of the greatest American pastime.

[fed-up]

39. did anybody record it? I need something to smile about...nt

[marmar]

41. It will be on YouTube shortly. Count on it.

n/t

[varelse]

40. for some odd reason

this made my whole day complete - thank you for reporting it here, as I never watch sports, and don't have a TV - but I'd have hated to miss this :)

:toast:

[Peace Patriot]

43. He may have the voting machines, but he doesn't have the baseball fields,

where democracy rules, where talent and competence are plain for all to see, and where violence against other human beings isn't the point.

My first big moment of clarity about Bushitism came during the Tim Robbins controversy, which, interestingly, was about baseball. A showing of Tim's great baseball movie, "Bull Durham," at a charity event, was canceled by some Reaganite at the Baseball Hall of Fame, because Tim Robbins had come out early and publicly against slaughtering 1.2 million people to get their oil. And, interestingly, it was baseball sports writers who came to his defense, and said the heck with that nazi stuff in the land of the free, home of the brave.

It's interesting, too, how baseball came into the picture, sort of subliminally, on 11/2/04, when Red Sox fans were celebrating their long-awaited win as a good omen for a Kerry win. Their omen was right. He did win. But they hadn't counted on stolen election II. None of us did--except for a few computer nerds crying in the wilderness.

What goes around comes around. Bush can't show his face to any but highly vetted audiences. Put him in any normal American crowd, and he will be booed. Because we're mostly honest people, you know, who want contests to be fair, who teach our kids to play by the rules, who root for the underdog and the "little guy," and who want a level playing field for all.

[marmar]

45. That's a great take on it, Peace Patriot....

.... and you're right: When the audience isn't pre-selected, he's exposed, to say the least.

[Andrea]

89. Beautiful post!

Reminding me why I love baseball...

[Ichingcarpenter]

47. I can't wait for the video - AP has already pick up on the Boos

WASHINGTON (AP) - For a guy who admits he was never more than a mediocre baseball player, President Bush sure gets to keep living the dream.

Bush threw out the first pitch Sunday night at the gleaming new baseball stadium in Washington, the sixth time he has had the honor as president. It may be ceremonial, but it is not a duty a president wants to tank. People tend to have long memories when you bounce the ball to home plate.

So Bush made time this week to hurl some practice pitches in his backyard - the South Lawn of the White House.

There was a mixture of boos and cheers for Bush. Those in the upper deck of the $611 million ballpark could see the Capitol and the Washington Monument. The cherry blossoms planted beyond the left-field bleachers weren't yet in bloom.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/baseball/mlb/wires/03/30/2010.ap.bbo.opening.day.1046/

[Andrea]

92. Mediocre baseball player?

But he was a great cheerleader!

His father was the baseball player. Just one more reason the little guy had to start an illegal war in Iraq. The whole world has to pay for his Oedipal issues.

[Leopolds Ghost]

96. $600 million PRIVATELY owned ballpark... paid for by insolvent DC tax dollars

From businesses that publically refused to invest in schools... and
demolished an entire low-income neighborhood (including its elementary
school) to make way for the stadium "entertainment district" which
promptly got sold to developers to build high security military and
gov't office buildings under the new Federal 200 foot protection ordnance.

Oh, and sold the team to a white suburban mall developer with allies on
the business council responsible for clearing retail out of downtown DC
to benefit his "more competitive" mega-cities on the outskirts which he
helped build... he got the stadium franchise as reward for his years of
service to shady Beltway contractors looking for exclusive dining shopping
and hi-security office space... Lol. First thing he did on buying the
team was fire Frank Robinson and announce that the team would likely fail
to appeal to black audience, so he insisted on lots of parking for his
new suburban audience. The city had to pay for it or he threatened to
move the newly created franchise he'd just been given.

[Olney Blue]

51. No love for the chimp in D.C.?

[elleng]

85. Nope!

Wanna bet on voting representation in Congress?

[benld74]

52. HERE TIS ENJOY

53. Thanks benld74......Damn that was quick.

[JackBeck]

54. Thanks.

But, umm, I heard like one or two people yell,"Boo".

I was expecting a bigger cacophony.

[civildisoBDence]

56. DUHbya sure was in a hurry

Can't say that I blame the *.

58. thank-you, thank-you! at 37 sec to 1 min into clip nt

[mindfulNJ]

55. Ha!

No place for shrub to hide now... not even baseball parks are safe for him now :D

[AnnieBW]

57. OMG

* is talking to the guys in the booth now. Sounding like a complete moron, as usual.

[JackBeck]

59. It's part of his strat-eeger-eey to establish his legacy.

Good luck with that one.

[Raksha]

63. Oh, he's established his legacy, all right!

It just isn't what he hoped it would be. Worst. President. Ever.

[Rosemary2205]

73. "have you ever thought of getting into play by play?" - SNORT

BWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHA -

bWWWWWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAAH!

[elleng]

86. Not.

He knows something about the game and about the guys in the booth.

He usually sounds like a moron, but not this time.

[gateley]

60. I usually feel sorry for the poor schmo pols who get booed --

not this time! National Fans, :yourock:

[GOPBasher]

62. I don't think I've ever seen that. Honestly,

I always kind of thought that when presidents do something at a sporting event, they're politely applauded no matter what. This is hilarious. I hope it's on you tube and I can email it to everyone.

Booed at the the game... :rofl:

[marmar]

65. It's already on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHUAsTrl4JI

[nealmhughes]

64. Shades of the scene in Liasons Dangerouses when the people in the Paris Opera began

to hiss and clap their fans at the Marquisse when she appeared after the Chevalier's death. . .
I am surprised that people haven't turned their backs on BushCo and hissed and booed them before in public appearances, especially Condaliza when she appeared at the theatre on Broadway during Katrina.

[Bleacher Creature]

66. This article makes it seem as if the reaction was MIXED (boos and cheers).

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080331/sp_nm/baseball_bush_dc_1


I wasn't watching the game, but my guess is that the article is crap.

[marmar]

67. There were cheers.....mostly after the boos had already started....

You know...The "You shouldn't boo the president" types who felt bad after the chorus of boos.

[NYC Liberal]

68. It was only mixed 'cause they cheered when the catcher caught the ball

They were booing Dubya, but cheering their team. Hence the "mix"...but CHIMPY got a round booing :)

[HuffleClaw]

88. it wasn't entirely boos

to be fair

[truedelphi]

70. Cheney has had his moments of non-applause as well...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U07xp8w3py8&feature=related

[marmar]

72. Thanks for that......It was as if Satan had climbed from Middle Earth!

:rofl:

[Andrea]

93. Good one!!

Cheney was thinking: If only I coulda shot the guy instead of throwing the ball at him.

[poppysgal]

81. This is truely sad. The crowd should have rushed the mound.

[elleng]

83. NATIONALS WIN

3-2!!!!!!!!

[NYC Liberal]

84. Anyone got video of him yapping in the booth?

:rofl:

[blonndee]

87. Fantastic!

I just found a whole bunch of other "booing" videos on youtube. I think I might be on the cusp of an addiction. Oh well.

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

97. Is it time to head to Paraguay yet?

.

[horseshoecrab]

98. 2:00 am Eastern Time

CNN shows the clip of the first pitch. A cheer goes up as the pitch sails into the catcher's glove.
huzzah. huzzah.

* walks off the mound. (Crowd oddly "silent")

Remember that you kids.

:puke:

[ChairmanAgnostic]

101. I hope everyone realizes that this is bad news.

the BOOing, I mean.

this man is not sane. He has a huge ego. When he perceives a slight or an attack, he retaliates. who knows what will enter the dark recesses of what is left of his mind now?

I would be very, very worried. Until he has a vacation, or three, at least.
