Kerry just flubbed the opening pitch at the Yanks-Sox game

It's in the photo in post 14. It turns out it was the Boston catcher, but some serviceman. Kerry is trying to show how pro-military he is in something his detractors might call a "flip flop."

politician booed at sports events.

Film at 11.

C'mon, they would have booed Bush as well. That's a Red Sox or Yankees fan for you (they booed Cheney).

They're beer-swillin' asses.

The idea of missing a Yankees-Red Sox series right before a convention week was not acceptable, so we changed the policy," Kerry told reporters on the plane.

He refers to his itinerary as a policy? What a doofus.

[BluH2o]

Damn ... after posing on ice skates, skis, snowboards, wind surfing, roller blading, throwing a football, riding a very expensive racing bicycle appropriately attired (per Lance Armstrong), only to blow the opening pitch at a baseball game with his best girlie boy effort ... what a blow to his carefully honed athletic prowess.

He got booed BEFORE he threw the pitch?!

Bwahahaha!!

Kerry - first pitch. As if the Curse of the Bambino ain't enough.

What policy?!

[PISANO]

Caption a Young John Kerry! Threads end up merging!

[af_vet_1981]

Mike Dukakis moment, who would have thought it from another Massachusetts career politician ...

[So Cal Rocket]

Let's see if the press runs with Kerry getting booed like they did when Cheney got booed.

You guys need to be quicker getting this info out! I could have taped it, and I would have played it at our family get together in a couple weeks for laughs. Think it'll be replayed, or will the tape be file 13'd?

[thoughtomator]

'Cause this is a major "snarf alert"!

[Not A Snowbird]

He said he planned the trip in secret about a week ago.

So... Kerry plans a secret trip to his hometown, and Bush planned a secret trip to Baghdad... compare and contrast, friends.

[finnman69]

oooohhh, Posada just got hit....bases loaded, 1 out 1st inning 1-0 Yanks

[rintense]

I LOVE IT!

[snarkytart]

That is President Bush.

What an utter insult to the intelligence of everyone. I'd like to know how many morons really believe this ballgame is a priority to John Kerry right now. I know that most Democrats are dumb, but..................
