Cheers to the Washington Nationals fans

who know how to greet a war criminal when they see one:



(from last night's Opening Night game at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.)

Almost as funny as the Smirking Chimp getting showered with rightfully-deserved boos was that the guy who was originally supposed to catch the first pitch, Paul LoDuca, was quickly replaced by the team manager, Manny Acta. Why, you may ask, was the team catcher yanked from what is the traditional responsibility of, you know, catching? Well, it may have to do with LoDuca being mentioned 37 times in the Mitchell Report on steroid abuse in professional baseball. So, to avoid the spectre of one drug addict pitching to another, they put in the manager....hooray!
