Bush booed loudly while throwing out first pitch in Nationals home opener.
President Bush delivered the first pitch tonight at the new Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to a resounding chorus of boos. After being announced, Bush was showered by boos as he strode to the mound. Even after Bush delivered the pitch, the jeering did not let up until the President disappeared from the field. Watch it:
In 2006, Vice President Cheney was also loudly booed when he threw out the first pitch for the Nationals. In a rare move for a president, Bush missed the team’s home openers in both 2006 and 2007.
Washington Nationals manager Manny Acta caught Bush’s pitch. Acta was chosen after Paul Lo Duca, the Nationals’ catcher was by-passed due to his involvement with performance-enhancing drugs.

March 30th, 2008 at 8:39 pmI thought he was gonna cry!
March 30th, 2008 at 8:42 pmI love the BOO’s. The next best thing was when Cheney came to Ohio right before the 2004 election. He came to Fairlawn and was booed and protested ( with many Large Signs)so much that he cut his trip to less than 30 minutes including driving back and forth to the landing field. He was suppose to grace us with at least an hour of his time to drum up support for good old Georgie Boy.
Picked the wrong part of OHIO. Now if he had gone to Columbus or Cinncinati it would have been a different story back then.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:44 pmHeh! Looks like ThinkProgress is making things up again (e.g., McCain’s “plagiarism,” “Blackwater fever”)….Anyone watching the game on ESPN (and even on this YouTube clip) knows that Bush was not booed loudly. In fact, the ovation was quite rousing when he threw the ball from the top of the mound to Acta…As ESPN’s Jon Miller said, many presidents have thrown out the ceremoninal first pitch over the years, but none have done it better than Dubya!
March 30th, 2008 at 8:45 pmNice play by Kearns!
March 30th, 2008 at 8:48 pmAww,Junior took a peek outside the bubble eh? He has no idea how much he is hated.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:49 pmOh, bull, Exley. There was not only a LOT of boos on his way to the mound, Bush himself reacted to it just before he got there. After he threw a decent pitch, the cheering was predominant but to suggest he wasn’t booed loudly is just b.s.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:49 pmthey loathe him.
they really loathe him.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:49 pmSorry Exley, even my son heard the BOO’s in the other room. Good try. We don’t make things up, we don’t have too..
Georgie has more time than any other past President ever has to practice. Didn’t you get the memo on VACATION DAYS>>
March 30th, 2008 at 8:50 pmI heard as many or more boos than cheers Exley.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:51 pmSorry, Gummitch, but you are hearing what you want to hear….
March 30th, 2008 at 8:51 pmHe’s not wanted anywhere on earth, not even at stadium full of people watching grown men play a boys game. I’m surprised someone didn’t tag him across his smirk with a dog$hit cream pie. Sorry excuse for a human, let alone POTUS.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:52 pmLook again Exley, Bush reacts to the boos before throwing the ball, rather hurriedly.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:53 pmwell now we all understand why macsame stays away from him:
boos ? votes.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:53 pmExley, I have it on TiVo. I’ll save it for you. Pretty funny, though, that you suggest I’m the one hearing what I want to hear. And you?
March 30th, 2008 at 8:55 pmSorry, Gummitch, but you are hearing what you want to hear….
And Exley isn’t hearing what he doesn’t want to hear, just like a good Bushie should!
March 30th, 2008 at 8:56 pmOr shouldn’t, as the case may be.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:56 pmgood stuff. what a loser
they cheered after the pitch. that was a cheer for the start of baseball. then it trickled back to boo’s.
that was some pretty definitive booing.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:57 pm“We don’t make things up, we don’t have too [sic]..”
Hmmmm…
McCain plagiarized?
Fever called “Blackwater fever” after contracting company?

Heh! Yeah, ThinkProgress doesn’t make things up!
Just add this thread to TP’s string of recent dishonest posts.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:57 pmAnd he will certainly get a lot of cheers when the idiot-in-chief leaves office on January 20, 2009 at noon.
March 30th, 2008 at 8:58 pmI would not call the booing “resounding”, but it was very noticeable. Now the chimp is in the press booth in ESPN. I think I am going to be sick.

Stop making excuses for the worst president in US history , whose only ability in 7+years in screwing up America is being able to throw out a ceremonial 1st pitch correctly.
That’s quite a long and distinguished list of accomplishements , eh you Chimpy nut hugger ?
March 30th, 2008 at 9:01 pmBush made a mad dash to and from the mound as well.How pathetic to be such a coward in front of your own countrymen.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:01 pmwhy didn’t any of the trolls cheer for him?
because they’re all here…?
March 30th, 2008 at 9:03 pm1. Boo’s for Bush, followed by
March 30th, 2008 at 9:05 pm2. Cheers for first pitch, then back to
3. Boo’s for Bush.
The Bush trolls were unable to cheer because they were all in the bathrooms toe-tapping like Larry Craig(R)-Pudslap, ID.

March 30th, 2008 at 9:05 pmFor a man who had a nearly 90% approval rating in the days after 9/11, that’s GOTTA hurt.
Stretch it any way you want, Ex-lax, but there were a lot of people there BOOING.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Saaaay… Ex-lax… have you issued a retraction, and apology, for your EGREGIOUS error in making a connection between the Democratic Party in this country and the PDP in Puerto Rico? That was a pretty embarrassing gaffe, dude.

March 30th, 2008 at 9:10 pmI loved the commentary by the announcer: Shrub is a manly, manly man because he actually threw the ball from the mound!
And, of course, he had to mention 9/11.

Now yes the paid people and those who follow blindly didn’t hear boos at all, and their the same people saying we’re better now then ever in the History of this country. As these people lose their jobs an homes they still say what Bush tells them to say. George W. Bush knows he was booed no matter how many people want to change the story or even lie about it.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:21 pm“In fact, the ovation was quite rousing when he threw the ball from the top of the mound”

“The more things change…”
Exlax cannot help to support the traitor, because he is a traitor also, just like all republocunts. bush should have been stormed by the mob, skinned alive, and then hung from the flag pole. He is worthless protoplasm taking vegeation and animal protein possibly useful to living entities. He does not deserve to enjoy the title human, nor “living.” He is dead. Has been dead since the mid 90’s, just no one told him to lay down. Lay down shithead. I pray daily for his RAPTURE. And what a rapture I pray for, a painful, blood soaked rapture, emptying his vacuous coporeal entity of the blood and guts he no longer needs to be with gawd in the rapture. I pray for a swift and mighty bullet to take his corporeal entity. I pray it is so filled with velocity that it goes through his corporeal body, and also RPATURES Darth Cheney (though he would NOT be raptured, he would go to hell) as well as Rove the evil one. All melons to splat open by a nice 50 cal, from about a mile out. Oh what a RAPTURE. I PRAY, I PRAY, I PRAY.

Sometimes TP graciously acknowledges its errors (e.g. McCain, Blackwater, AP-Ron Paul threads)….Other times it stubbornly refuses to admit its errors (e.g., newspaper reports on 4000 military death in Iraq, Zawahiri-Zarqawi mix-up)

The man is hated by Americans. This much was proven tonight. Otherwise you would not have heard such a display of disapproval.
He will go home tonight knowing that his bubble was rocked in a fashion where he had no control. Expect vengeance for he does not take criticism lightly. He hates not being adored for being the class clown.

March 30th, 2008 at 9:59 pmuh, It was pretty resounding. My 9 yr old noticed it, my wife noticed it and GWB himself felt it. I’d say the boos were greater than the ‘applause’ until he threw the damn ball. Face it… it was a huge smack in the face.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:59 pmHow can anyone listen to that video and say, “There were only 6 people booing in the whole crowd. You can hardly hear the boos.”? Huh?
I think this video is a testament to where the mood of the nation is right now. Remember when there was “fear” in not supporting the Fuhrer…everyone would clap so the person sitting next to them wouldn’t know how they really felt? Well, it appears the American people don’t give a flying rat’s arse about the “fear” anymore and they’re letting Bush know EXACTLY how they do feel. And yes, some were cheering but this video is a far cry from what our nation was like right after 9/11 and I love it.
March 30th, 2008 at 9:59 pmI love you guys, but it’s lame shite stories like this that make Thinkprogress look bad.
Gee, so much concern from heretofore anonymous, first-time posters. I’m impressed with your concern.

March 30th, 2008 at 10:09 pmTHAT’s supposed to be a GOOD PITCH?
That was WAY out of the strike zone, and would have beaned the batter if it were faster.
I think by now we ALL feel like we’ve been hit by a pitch, but we don’t even get to take first base.

March 30th, 2008 at 10:17 pmFace it, troll; Bush was booed.
And mind you, this wasn’t in Philadelphia, where they have booed Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. (Heck, I can recall an incident where the Philly fans booed a disabled kid who threw out the first pitch because he one-hopped it to the catcher.)
No. This was Washington. A town that is still excited about having big league baseball.
And the sitting President of the United States was booed just for showing up to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
Looks like he made a good decision to stay home last year.

I bet you also believed Saddam Hussein was going to attack our big powerful nation in 45 minutes in the form of a mushroom cloud too, huh?

Not just right after 9/11, Kay. Just last year, my brother ended up in the Shea Stadium Security office because one of the vendors apparently felt that my brother wasn’t being patriotic enough (didn’t get his cap off quickly enough for the National Anthem or something.) My sister-in-law and I used to go to several games each season from 2000 through 2006, and we would get dirty looks for sitting out “God Bless America”!

March 30th, 2008 at 10:34 pm“You know as well as I do, that in the world of baseball, you dont mix politics w/ the game.”
Correct, Alpuz3….That is why there was, at most, a smattering of barely audible boos by a few classless individuals at the ballpark this evening (ThinkProgress’ now-discredited claim that there was a “resounding chorus of boos” notwithstanding).
March 30th, 2008 at 10:35 pmIt would have been nice to see some beer bottles being thrown onto the field when Bush was on the mound. Normally that is a no-no, of course. Can you imagine what would have happened if one beer bottle got thrown? I bet the place would have erupted!
No wonder Bush ran like a girl off the field. For the first time since his limo was egged by the angry mob in January 2001, Bush got to relive America’s hate of him. Loved it!
I heard the boos, but that’s because I don’t have a cannonball for a brain like the neocons do. We all know their synapses aren’t working too good!

THere was CLEARLY a resounding round of BOOS clearly audible above the smattering of polite applause. And the crowd LAUGHED at his bad throw, which was the ONLY thing to break the boos. Athen everyone realized the assclown would be leaving the field and all politely ushered him off.
