tweety = all politicians get booed at sporting events

[spanone]

oh really? is that a fact or something matthews pulled out his ass.

said junior had a lot of nerve to go out there and make that pitch......

[Drunken Irishman]

1. Maybe not all, but every time I've gone to a sporting event and a politican is shown, they get booed

Even when they're Republicans here in conservative Utah.

Of course, you also get cheers.

[The Wielding Truth]

3. Did this happen before the moral majority took over?

[Drunken Irishman]

7. It happens all the time.

Last year when the Jazz were in the playoffs they showed Orrin Hatch on the screen and people booed. :D

[The Wielding Truth]

13. Do you remember if it happened before 10 yrs ago?

[Drunken Irishman]

17. 10 years ago I was 13, so I don't recall.

2. Trying to put lipstick on a pig again

4. I don't remember Clinton getting booed

opening day for the Orioles.



Edited to add I don't remember Bush 41 getting booed either.

[dbonds]

14. I think Bush 41 was pelted with brocolli at one event.

5. I Remember Tweety Carrying On About Kerry Getting Boo'd When Throwing Out A First Pitch nt

[Toucano]

6. I don't know how common it is, but I'm sure Bush isn't the first.

Any statement that begins with "All..." is suspect.

[Red Zelda]

8. And the announcers ignore it all

Interesting how Miller got right to licking Bush's balls as the boos erupted. Good sports announcer. Be a stupid mofo.

9. I've heard mild and scattered booing before

but I suggest anyone who buys Tweety's assertion go find the video and watch it. This was large scale, long and sustained booing, the loudest and longest I've ever heard.

It was a very satisfying tape to watch. Even the sports obsessed are getting the message that this administration is bad news.

15. You must have seen a different clip than I did

because I don't think he got anything compared to what he was due.

[Warpy]

16. No, he didn't.

but it was more than anybody else has ever gotten, including Nixon.

[devilgrrl]

10. Oh, is that so Mr. Matthews?

So many people, so few lightning bolts.

[Phred42]

11. Tweety is a Reich-wing Troll - Phuck him

[alarimer]

12. Sure, All the ones that suck.

The ones that don't probably don't get booed.
