Opening Day and why the WaPo makes me mad

Kos reminds everyone that today is Opening Day for the baseball season (Go Cubbies!). Today is notable for another reason. El Presidente has decided not the throw out the first pitch as is the tradition. Kos speculates that our courageous leader fears being bombarded with boos and catcalls. With Bush’s approval ratings hovering in the low 30’s, his fears are well founded. Remember the reception Dick Cheney got last year? The Post story mentions that he received “some boos” but I recall that it was more of a cacophony. As usual, the Post screws up the story. Listen to this (especially about 1:20 into the clip). That is the sound of 50,000 people giving the VP the what for.

I know this is a minor point but seriously, was it that hard to get that right?
