Opening Day - Anyone Else Uncomfortable?

W Throws Out the First Pitch to Rousing Jeers and Boos



I have to admit, this made me a little uncomfortable. And, as if I needed another reason to dislike Joe Morgan and Jon Miller, listen to them talk about what an arm Bush has for pitching, completely ignoring the reaction of the crowd. Lovely.

See that hurt look on his face? I'm cringing. The humanitarian in me starts to feel bad, actually. I almost want to say, "poor george." But then I remembered what Bush has done that warranted such a reaction, and I got over it real fast.

For one of millions of reasons not to feel bad for W, check out this story about a Marine Iraqi vet, named Eric W. Hall, who suffered a flashback, went missing because of it, & subsequently died of it:
