SEE IT LIVE!
So Ms. T., What can we say but, "Shove it."?
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
Out of his league and ten feet off the mound
CONTRAST AND COMPARE
John Kerry, with all of athletic prowess which with every demonstration makes him look even more ridiculous, throws a pitch to a set-up Iraqi Veteran, in uniform, no less. He steps out of the mound by ten feet to give himself an advantage after practicing with aides, and his pitch still lands in the freakin' dirt.
By contrast
President Bush throws out the first pitch of the World Series, from the pitcher's mound, and zaps in a strike, right across the plate. Thank G-d he doesn't wear speedos.
GO BUSH!

Teresa Heinz Kerry told a Pittsburgh newspaperman to ``shove it'' just minutes after urging the Pennsylvania delegates to restore a more civil tone to politics.
``We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics,'' she told delegates.
Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the conservative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, later questioned her repeatedly on what she meant by the term ``un-American.''
After repeated denials, Heinz Kerry told McNickle, ``You said something I didn't say. Now shove it.''

A full day wraps up at Fenway

Senator John F. Kerry diverted his campaign plane from the Midwest last evening and snuck into Boston for the final game of the Red Sox-Yankees series, but was greeted by a thundering mix of cheers and boos as he bolted out of the home team's dugout to throw out the first pitch on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.
His righthanded throw -- practiced in recent days with aides -- came up short, skidding into the dirt before home plate and bouncing off the chest of his catcher, 23-year-old Massachusetts National Guardsman Will Pumyea of Woburn, who served in the military police in Afghanistan and then for six months last year in Iraq.
