Cheney Booed at Yankee Game

Cheney was booed when he was shown on the right-field videoboard during the seventh-inning stretch.

Coulda been worse. He could have tried to sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" at Wrigley.

Though their team's fiercest rivals were in town, Yankees fans' loudest boos last night were not for the Red Sox but for Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney watched the game with New York Gov. George Pataki (R) and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) and when his image was shown on the scoreboard during the 7th inning's singing of God Bless America, fans stopped singing and booed loudly. Cheney's picture was quickly taken off the screen.

The bad news was the Yankees beat the Red Sox.
