Cheney Pays Visit to Stadium
By TYLER KEPNER

Vice President Dick Cheney spent about 20 minutes in Manager Joe Torre’s office and in the clubhouse shaking hands with players before the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox, 11-3, last night at Yankee Stadium.

Cheney studied the photographs inside and outside Torre’s office and asked Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher, why he was playing the outfield in one picture. Cheney started watching the game from the private box of the Yankees’ principal owner, George Steinbrenner, switched to a seat beside the Yankees’ dugout for a few innings, then returned to Steinbrenner’s box.

“I told him before the game I hope he brings us more good luck than he brings them,” Torre said. “It’s great any time a dignitary like that visits. It slaps you with pride.”

During the singing of “God Bless America” in the seventh inning, an image of Cheney was shown on the scoreboard. It was greeted with booing, so the Yankees quickly removed the image.

According to a recent survey, 30% of Americans feel that “The First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees.”. Also, only one of the five freedoms spelled out in the amendment was identified by more than half of those surveyed.

I don’t even know what to say. The hypocrisy of these country astounds me sometimes. We’re all gung-ho about fighting for our freedoms except that we don’t want them anymore? Yeah, let’s make this place more like Iraq!
