Proof that the Bush cabal is unpopular.

Bush will, once again, opt out of throwing out the first pitch at the first Washington Nationals home game this year. Cheney got roundly booed last year when he threw the first pitch at the Nationals' home opener. I guess Bush just can't take the criticism...

In addition, Brigham Young University has allowed students to protest against Darth Cheney, who will be giving this year's commencement address at the university. The school is even considering allowing a second protest on commencement day itself. When you can't get GOP love in heavily pro-GOP Utah at a Mormon university, you know you're in trouble.

In an unrelated note, the Yankees have tied up their game with the Tampa Bay Sucky - I mean Devil - Rays, 5-5, after 6 innings of play.
