This article is wonderful, and so accurate!! I was there too, and all I have to say is that "The Wave" comment is hilarious and true. Great job!

Too bad we didn't have Harry carey do the 7th inning stretch. Surprised nancy pelosi didn't get a beer shower, but the code pink broads probably weren't there. maybe not the wave, but the finger would have been better.

If The rePIGliCANT team plays ball anything like their party runs elections, then their bats were corked, their pitchers were throwing spitballs, and the umpires were paid lobbyists.

Jerry is just so bitter. Lighten up already! I don't see how anyone could possibly be irritated by a simple game such as this. I hope the members of Congress were able to enjoy themselves.

Here's to Mika Brzezinski! Perhaps that little scene on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today was a bit of a ruse, but Mika did seem into it. As entertainment it was news; as news it was tres cool. I wish she could have gotten her lighter to work. Mika, you do go!

Merle, what you consider bitter and what I consider comedy are as wide as the Mississippi.

so happy they are having fun---kinda like Bush,Blair and the frauline drinking a beer and george doing big horse laffs.Guess they can not think about our military being murdered and maimed when they have FUN.Perhaps they could advise the families of the fallen and falling how to pull this off.

My God, people...seriously. Whether you want to admit it or not, members of Congress are human beings. They laugh, they cry...they like to play baseball! I am sick to death of all the judgmental people who bitch and moan about everything under the sun. Congress has a tough, tough job and they do the best they can. Maybe their motives are not always as pure as they could be, and maybe they get it wrong more often than they should. But that's because, like all human beings, they are fallible. Are we suggesting that they are not entitled to enjoy their non-working hours? Do you HMT?

One of my mother's closest friends lost a stepson in Iraq. Guess what? Two weeks later, they had a big fundraiser in his honor, and she was there...laughing, bowling, singing karaoke and having a great time. Losing a loved one does not mean you lose the ability to appreciate life; in fact, I think the opposite is often true. It makes you even more grateful that you ARE alive, and can experience all that life has to offer.

Anyway, like I said...lighten up. There is enough to argue about without focusing on something so asinine as members of Congress spending an evening playing baseball.

In Iraq, the bases are loaded, every is up on their seats. Time to bring in Pete Rose. Or maybe not.

Ann Coulter's response on Chris Mathews when she was asked if she could stop the personal attacks seemed to be that she was incapable of any speech that wasn't a personal attack. I immediately thought of jerry. They would make quite a lovely couple.

Maybe next year they could have a paintball war, to at least get a little combat under their belt. The winners would get a Chickenhawk Trophy.
