To be honest, the whole business of the POTUS throwing the first pitch, etc. has always struck me as cheesy and yes, inappropriate. Fake populism is worthless and condescending. Same goes for presidential candidates going on Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno or what have you. It's all obviously calculated PR, and (at least with me) it's always counterproductive. Charles de Gaulle may have been a prick, but at least he never, ever stooped to silly, cornpone, undignified nonsense.

He could wear a skirt for all I care. It's his policies that bother me.

Maybe he should have gotten Al Franken to do the honors for him. At least Franken could always deflect derision by saying he was just trying to be funny.

Jerome:

I didn't even want to get into this, but I saw his pitch and the president wouldn't have survived for long at Little Havana's Shenandoah Park with that throwing motion. They would have laughed him out of the park.

Look, it's really very simple. Obama thinks he's above and beyond fashion--same as everything else. Watch for Mom jeans to become the new black.

Did anyone else notice how the camera didn't show where his pitched landed? That was discussed on Red Eye last night.

Couldn't he have gotten hold of a decent pair of sweat pants? Sheesh.

Yeah, but they sure as heck didn't report on all the booing in the stands, did they? Typical of our press: check out the superficial, but don't dare go any deeper.

Oh, well ... it was "just" a baseball game.
