Just love to see pictures of my hero!

[stevio]

I wish I could feel the same.

[popdonnelly]

Does this mean fans refuse to join the Barry Bonds pity party?

President Bush received a loud standing ovation when he took the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in Cincinnati

I guess the fans forgot to read the President's latest poll numbers as per the LSM.

[NutCrackerBoy]

That photo and the story of the rousing ovation are going to be all over the media. Right?

[popdonnelly]

I notice the Giants game was televised today. Be prepared for the ESPN Barry Bonds Marathon.

a Republican-leaning city

I gagged my Jim Beam when I read that.

Cincinnati is presently dominated by race-industry Democrats who cater to drug dealers who probably comprise Council's biggest donors. If it weren't for the fact that law-abiding citizens who vote conservative - who have abandoned the city for safer family-friendly venues with good schools (Cincinnati Public sucks)- the area would be a total liberal loss.

President Bush received a loud standing ovation when he took the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in Cincinnati, a Republican-leaning city.

I hate the MSM. Let's all remember this idiot's qualification of President Bush's wonderful reception by Cincinatians so that when a parallel situation exists for the Dims we can all write in and ask why there wasn't a "qualifier" referring to the fact that it was a "Democrat-leaning city."

A**holes.

[manwiththehands]

The only cheers the Reds will get this year.

[fhlh]

I just can't help but see the BIAS thrown in here

Cincinnati, a Republican-leaning city.

[feedback doctor]

like the family sitting a few rows behind home plate wearing matching red-and-white T-shirts that said “11-04-08” — the date of the next presidential election.

11-04-08 - The next date of infamy for liberals. Regardless, they'll have to hate Bush as President tho until 01-20-09.
And I love that pic of W pitching. I guess Kerry would be throwing it underhanded to the plate.

[fhlh]

Ahhhh read the whole article and found where the bias comes from...

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Apparently they only let in people who have not be surveyed by the LSM

[Verginius Rufus]

Obviously it's not true for Cincinnati within the city limits, but it is for Greater Cincinnati. I don't have the figures from 2004, but in 2000 Bush carried Hamilton, Butler, and Clermont counties in Ohio easily (almost 2-1 in the case of Butler Co. and better than 2-1 in Clermont Co.), and also Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties in Kentucky by similar margins.

The only county which was somewhat close was Hamilton Co., where the ratio was 5:4, but that's the county which includes Cincinnati.

[hermgem]

Such cheering will take place as long this left wing media beast is unable to control events or fabricate facts.

[pawdoggie]

President Bush received a loud standing ovation when he took the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch in Cincinnati, a Republican-leaning city. He was accompanied by two injured soldiers and a father who lost his son in Afghanistan.

Whether it was calculated or not, putting the injured soldiers, et al, with the President was a very smart move. You know there had to be a few 'Rats who would have loved to boo lustily, but they had to feel somewhat constrained by the presence of the heros and the missing hero's father. Maybe that new CoS his already getting it right.

[concentric circles]

...Cincinnati, a Republican-leaning city

There are 376 precincts in Cincinnati, which Kerry won 67.98% to 31.54% for Bush.

[ClarenceThomasfan]

11-04-08 - That is the date that we will either have President Allen, President Romney, President McCain or President Guiliani.
That's good reason to celebrate

[SirChas]

Now here is what could have been pitching...
