Kerry arrives in Boston early – The Washington Times: Nation/Politics – July 25, 2004
Remember how Dick Cheney was supposedly booed at Yankee Stadium? Remember how the mention of the cheers he also got were kind of buried in the stories?
Remember how important him getting booed at a sporting event were?
“It’s a wonderful rivalry. The idea of missing a Yankees – Red Sox series right before a convention is unacceptable. So we changed the policy,” he said.
The boos about equaled the applause when Mr. Kerry was introduced at the game and it’s still unclear what the surprise visit will do to his support in New York.
Why isn’t this as big a deal as that?
Because it’s John Kerry.
Oh, and that’s Senator Kerry, not Mr. Kerry.
