It is fair to say that plenty of conservatives attend baseball games and that it is not a bastion of unrestrained liberalism. So, the jeers that greeted Dick Cheney when he threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals game, was representative how he has fallen into disfavor with the vast majority of Americans. Here are what press reports say:
AP: "Greeted with loud boos and some cheers, Vice President Dick Cheney threw out the ceremonial first pitch Tuesday at the Washington Nationals' home opener."
Reuters: The vice president, whose popularity is slumping along with that of President George W. Bush, walked out on the field to cheering and booing from the near-sellout crowd. The boos appeared to be little louder than the cheers.
The New York Times: (Pedro) "Martanez, who proceeded to wave to the crowd, received a slightly warmer reception than Vice President Dick Cheney, who was jeered before and after short-hopping the ceremonial first pitch."
The White House correspondents' pool report noted that Cheney stepped out onto field dressed in khakis and a Nats bomber jacket to the sound of thunderous boos and catcalls ."
It is fair to say that America can no longer stomach Cheney and sees him for the congenital liar that he is. And, it turns out he can throw no straighter than he can shoot, as the baseball landed in the dirt.
