Really need a laptop so I can blog in front of the TV. Kerry got a pretty good volume of boos coming out to throw the first pitch, which he threw in the dirt, by the way. George Stephanopoulos was just in the ESPN booth saying that if he had had Clinton coming out there he would have had him surrounded by Police and Firemen so they couldn't possibly boo him.
Kerry threw the first pitch to an Afghan War vet. He had him sitting next to him during the first inning, then the kid got disappeared - mission "photo-op" complete. They needed space for one of the Democrat tourists, no doubt. You can't swing a dead cat in Fenway tonight without hitting some old fossil who doesn't know crap about baseball (OK, I'm assuming). I guess you have to be a VIP to get seat in Fenway where you can actually see the game. Forget it if you're a regular person and don't want to pay a fortune to a scalper. They're all locked up.
Notice the way kerry held the ball? He's obviously never thrown one before.
He also appeared pretty condescending to the vet.
Pegleg
Yeah, and he tried to pawn off his throwing it in the dirt on the vet. He said he thought the kid was nervous so he didn't want to throw it too hard. Could be true, but also becoming typical Kerry. You threw the ball in the dirt - don't blame the other guy.
