Cheney Pays Visit to Stadium
By TYLER KEPNER
Published: June 30, 2004

Vice President Dick Cheney spent about 20 minutes in Manager Joe Torre's office and in the clubhouse shaking hands with players before the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox, 11-3, last night at Yankee Stadium.
[...]
During the singing of "God Bless America" in the seventh inning, an image of Cheney was shown on the scoreboard. It was greeted with booing, so the Yankees quickly removed the image.

yeah, having the GOP convention there is gunna be a LOT of fun.

From ABC Political's Noted Now:

BUSH TO NOT VISIT GROUND ZERO: "Given his schedule, given the movements around the city, given everything involved, we thought, as part of the nominating convention, that he probably wasn't going to go down and isn't going to go down and visit it," said Bush camp manager Ken Mehlman, on Bush visiting Ground Zero during the convention.

(of course, they may just be trying to make it a surprise)

good thing he isn't going down here, because if he is, well I can spit on him from here.

i was really hoping both Bushes would parachute into "ground zero".

this is great. i imagine cheney up on the big screen looking evil and smug for about a millisecond before the booing starts.

i also imagine some kuleshov experiment featuring cheney:

TEST: sad little orphan girl/CHENEY/hand holding loaf of bread
AUDIENCE: cheney is hungry

TEST: bowl of soup/CHENEY/empty bowl
AUDIENCE: cheney has flung hot soup at senator leahy

I wonder if somewhere in the crowd, Rowdy Roddy Piper was wearing his special sunglasses.
