Ole John boy just can't get any respect even from his home town crowd. Well I can see why, he couldn't even throw the ball all the way to home plate. The wimp.

Boston baseball fans boo Kerry
Democrat throws out 1st pitch before hometown crowd at Fenway
John Kerry was booed in his hometown as he threw out the first pitch in Fenway Park before the start of the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees game tonight.
Kerry put in a surprise appearance at the Yankees-Red Sox baseball game Sunday night to throw out the opening pitch, making an early arrival in the city where Democratic delegates were gathering to nominate him for president.
Kerry continued to smile as he threw a ball that sank and hit the dirt before the catcher – a soldier home from Iraq – could catch it.
Kerry arranged for his flight between the battleground states of Ohio and Florida to be diverted to Boston, where he had not been scheduled to make his grand entrance to the convention city until Wednesday evening. He said he had planned the trip in secret about a week ago.
"The idea of missing a Yankees-Red Sox series right before a convention week was not acceptable, so we changed the policy," Kerry told reporters on the plane.
Kerry threw out the first pitch to Spec. Will Pumyea, 23, a military police officer in the Massachusetts National Guard from Woburn, Mass., who had just returned from Iraq and who also had previously served in Afghanistan.
Kerry then watched the game from the owners' box with his wife, his two daughters, Pumyea, former Sen. John Glenn of Ohio, Red Sox owners John Henry and Tom Werner, and Katie Couric, the co-anchor of NBC's "Today" show who is dating Werner. Glenn fought in Korea with Ted Williams, the legendary Red Sox slugger.
The game was the third in the Boston homestand between the two fierce rivals – who are also the teams representing the two convention cities. The Republicans gather in New York in late August. The Yankees won the first game Friday and the Red Sox came back with a dramatic two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to win a fight-marred game last night.

You must not have had your radio turned up loud enough listening to your hero Rush...he admitted that the boo's and cheers were equal..
Stop being so petty.. Bear.. let's be adults and stop looking for dirt to sling..
You do not impress anyone with your little tattle tales about this kind of thing..
Stick to the issues, why don't you...
Who cares what the Bush girls are doing or not doing, or what celebrities are saying or not saying or if Kerry threw the ball far enough... geesum..
Our Country is in danger of terrorist attacks, we are still fighting and losing your youth in an unjustified war..middle class America is struggling to exist.. our seniors are making trips to Canada and Mexico to buy their prescription drugs so they will still have enough money to eat.. and so on and so forth.. and all we hear from you is the who did what to whom...
Get off of it will you...

What don't you understand about the article? It was Kerry's HOME TOWN crowd booing him. He's supposed to be their favorite candidate.
Keep trying, crow, all your doing is contributing to global warming.

Sorry, poobear, but that's a sports connotation you're putting on this...cheer on the hometown player crap.
The people in that town can think and voice their opinion....but just like Ronstadt, they picked the wrong venue....it was entertainment and those Republicans who booed should've realized that.
They sure jumped on Ronstadt's case quickly enough!

There will be a lot more mud slinging than that before it's all over. What about Cheney's boos? Let's not forget about that either. Who cares?

How many booed him Bear? One, ten, a stadium full? Your story doesn't say. If he was booed by one, the headline is still true, isn't it? Apparently that's the kind of "truth" you'll settle for. "crowd booing him" is your statement, not the article's. Nice try.

Hmmm. Kerry gets booed for not getting the ball over home plate, and Cheney gets booed for showing his face on the Yankee Stadium video feed. Which was politically charged, and which was sports mocking? Not throwing the distance is like shooting an air ball, or kicking a football wide right. No comparison, though it is a nice try there Bear. By the way, George Bush the former baseball owner didn't do much better when he threw out some of his first pitches.

Kerry got booed on his home turf in Boston?? That's almost as bad as Hillary getting booed by NYC firefighters.
