Kerry also had the Secret Service bounce the GI out of his VIP box, and into the back of the stadium, about halfway through the second inning.
The guy was supposed to throw the first pitch, but Kerry showed up at the last moment, and became the VIP pitcher. Then he flubs his pitch, which should have been an easy one midway to the mound. At least that's the description I heard.
Kerry's just your typical aristocratic airhead. Last week, he talked about how he liked hunting deer with his double-barrel shotgun (if the gun exists, it's probably a $40K Purdy) by crawling through the woods on his stomach. I think he's getting Vietnam and deer hunting confused. Didn't spend much time at either one.
Do you notice that beneath the artificial glitz, RATs are either phonies or slimebags? Or dingbat billionaires, like Tereeezzzzaaaa.

Holey smokes... any confirmation on that? If so he needs to be beaten mercilessly with it.
I was suspicious that the soldier was there because he was supposed to throw out the pitch, but was upstaged by Kerry at the last minute. That was just a guess though... and I figured that this was part of why people were booing Kerry when he stepped out.
You know... I have another thought... if the situation were reversed and it had been President Bush that showed up for a last-minute change in the itinerary... I will *bet money* that Dubya would have let the soldier go ahead and throw the pitch anyway... and would have simply arranged to get a catcher's mit and be the catcher for the ball.
I'd bet on that.
What was that?
