Boo Repellant

I was wondering how much booing there would be when President Bush took to the mound in Cincinnati to throw out the first pitch. Cincinnati is a pretty conservative town, but with an approval rating in the low thirties I thought there would have to be a few. Fortunately for him, he brought along a little boo repellent. From the Cincinnati Enquirer Opening Day Blog:

Bush came out to loud cheers and applause from the sellout crowd, and was accompanied by two wounded Iraq veterans - Paul Brondhaver, of Union Township, and Sgt. First Class Michael McNaughton, of Louisiana, who lost a leg in Iraq and met Bush last year in an army hospital.

No matter how much you hate the guy, you can't boo when he comes out with two wounded vets. Pretty smart move by his PR team.
