Gorgeous day, 70 degrees with happy, red-capped turnout est at 25k. VPOTUS stepped out onto field dressed in khakis and a Nats bomber jacket to the sound of thunderous boos and catcalls, making Kerry’ welcome at the Dem convention seem downright warm (spotted in the crowd: a t-shirt upon which someone had scrawled, ‘don’t shoot me dick.’) Jeering may or may not have disrupted the veep’s concentraton, but the pitch - from about a yard in front of the mound - was short, bouncing once before being reined in.
Still it is a wonder that the smell of frying meat alone didn’t bring on another heart attack. Talk about last throes.
Mwah ha ha.
