Cheney at Yankee Stadium: the wisdom of crowds

From the Times:

Vice President Dick Cheney spent about 20 minutes in Manager Joe Torre's office and in the clubhouse shaking hands with players before the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox, 11-3, last night at Yankee Stadium... 
 
"I told him before the game I hope he brings us more good luck than he brings them," Torre said. "It's great any time a dignitary like that visits. It slaps you with pride."

During the singing of "God Bless America" in the seventh inning, an image of Cheney was shown on the scoreboard. It was greeted with booing, so the Yankees quickly removed the image.

Cheney also got a mixed reception in Cinci on opening day. To be honest, he just doesn't seem like the type that follows sports at all. Dicky looked pretty stiff when they put that Yankee cap on his dome.

I know he is from Wyoming and has a heart condition, but the guylooks like he never sees the natural sun. Get out of the office/bunker and shoot a round of golf or something every once in ahwile Count Cheney.
