Why, oh why couldn’t the nation’s capital still be New York? I would have loved to see baseball fans in my fair spiritual home town pelt Cmdr. 28% with batteries as he strode manfully to the mound … and just as quickly scooted back to the safety of the dugout.
Eh. . . there were more cheers than I hoped to hear. It breaks my heart to hear people cheer for someone who has committed war crimes. (Would you clap for Adolph Hitler, Slobodan Milošević, Hideki Tojo, Charles G. Taylor or Saddam Hussein?) Frankly, it’s another demonstration of how fucked this experiment really is.
One day, after Bush passes away from natural causes, the national pasttime will be of a different sort…and I’ve already claimed dibs on the concession for the port-o-let that will crown his gravesite…
I looked at the video, expecting to see the all kinds of awesome in my world of people rushing onto the field and tearing him to pieces like a scene from 28 Days Later.
But no.
It seems your world’s awesome and my world’s awesome are definitely removed on the awesome scale.

the announcers were very brave to try the “Look! Clowns!” cover-up.

“No, Mr. President, they were saying ‘Boo-ush! Boo-ush!’”

Jack, they were all Republican staffers. Don’t worry about it, they didn’t mean it.
I must applaud the rest of the crowd, they put the “ssssssssssssssssss” in “pastime”.

I was saying boo-ush!

Announcer #2: Hall of Famer Whitey Ford now on the field pleading with the crowd for… for some kind of sanity
Announcer #1: Uh-oh, and a barrage of pretzels now knocking Whitey unconscious.
Announcer #2: Wow. This is, uh… this is a black day for baseball.

Once I saw Fafblog had returned, I took the next logical step to see if The Mighty Reason Man had returned.
And he has!
