Bush** booed at two major league sports venues in one day
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 02:21 PM by KamaAina
First, Yankee Stadium in The Bronx:

Politicians and baseball officials who gathered to break ground on a new Yankee Stadium shared memories of the old ballpark but said the new one would be even better....

The Yankees displayed a congratulatory message from President
(sic) Bush on the center-field scoreboard during the second inning of Wednesday night's game against Baltimore. There were some boos from the crowd.

I'll bet A-Rod wasn't even up...

Next, to New Orleans Arena, home of the NBA Hornets, where the show belonged to big-time Knicks fan Spike Lee and the premiere of his eagerly anticipated Katrina documentary, "When The Levees Broke".

"There are some jokes and humor," Lee told the thousands of people gathered inside the New Orleans Arena for the premiere of the documentary "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" on Wednesday night. "So feel free to laugh."...

In all, the audience was quite interactive: Laughing at jokes about federally-issued trailers and overall predicaments including battles with insurance companies, and loudly booing and hissing when government leaders like President
(sic) Bush and Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff appeared on screen.

Hopefully New Orleanians won't be booing their newest Bush, Saints top draft pick Reggie!

1. After seeing his highlights the other day, I don't think that'll happen.
Reggie looks as advertised, and more.
