1549.. you must work for Fox News, because you are only reporting half of the story. The Bush Twins also got booed repeatedly. Kerry, Bush daughters booed on MTV Monday, August 30, 2004 Posted: 12:16 PM EDT (1616 GMT) MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Reaching out to young Americans at MTV's Video Music Awards Sunday night, the daughters of President Bush and his Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry were met by loud cheers and jeers. It was unclear exactly whom the cheers and the boos were meant for or why. They began immediately after radio and MTV personality Carson Daly introduced "from New York, Barbara and Jenna Bush and here in Miami, Vanessa and Alexandra Kerry." The Kerry daughters were at the event in Miami; the Bush daughters appeared in a pre-recorded video. "My sister and I are thrilled to be here tonight with you all in Florida," said Vanessa Kerry, "and to get this chance to suggest that you get involved in this election and vote -- and hopefully that you vote for our father." MTV cameras showed some audience members apparently giving the women a standing ovation, but the mixture of boos and cheers continued. Alexandra Kerry added that millions of young Americans can help determine the November election, "but we appreciate that in our democracy people are free to feel differently about who they vote for." The Kerry daughters then turned around to watch, along with the MTV audience, the video of the Bush daughters. "Hey Alexandra and Vanessa, and hey to everyone at the VMAs," said Barbara Bush. "Jenna and I really wish we could be there, but we're in New York this week to support our dad and, as you might have guessed, we want to suggest that you vote for him in November." (Special report: America Votes 2004, the Republican convention) Jenna Bush said, "We can all agree on the importance of voting." MTV's broadcast turned down sounds of the audience during the playing of the video, but the vocal audience could still be heard. The Bush twins are 22 years old. Vanessa Kerry is 27; Alexandra turns 31 on Sunday. The boos seemed to die down and cheers took their place toward the end of the segment, when the Kerry daughters took back the floor and encouraged people to support victims of Hurricane Charley, which devastated portions of Florida earlier this month. Vanessa Kerry said, "Despite our differences, we all agree this election and this process are important. And we all agree that all of us are part of a greater American family." Speaking to CNN afterward, Vanessa Kerry said the booing had "scared" her, but added, "We're fighting for something so strongly, I will go up there and hear the whole arena boo if it means connecting with one person." She also said it was "surreal" to appear at the VMAs, known for having one of the most energetic and responsive crowds of any awards show.

we have 28 Games this month. Let's make a push to go 18-10 and hopefully pick up a few games until Maggs and Frank come back. KC (8 games) 6-2 Cleveland (8 games) 6-2 Boston (6 games) 3-3 Detroit (6 games) 4-2 Philadelphia (1 game) 1-0 Oakland (1 game) 0-1

we need a Shingo bobblehead day!!!

Does anyone know if the Sox still have a promo day where they give out a poster of the team's Allstar(s)? If so, I can't wait to get my hands on an Esteban Loaiza poster.

I believe the comment was something like... "f*** You, I'd never help those bastards."

seeing that I live and work in the burbs, I haven't had a chance to see the DNC people everyone's been discussing on the board until this morning. earlier today I had a meeting at the Hancock building and on my way back I was approached by a DNC girl. She couldn't have been any older than 21. In any case, in her shy voice, she was asking people on the street if they would like to support the DNC's causes. As I walk by this girl get's cursed out by a older woman. This woman must have been in her 60's and was dressed like she probably lives in the Gold Coast. (Since I lived there for 2 years, I can pick out these type of eliteists like a sore thumb) I started thinking about it.. what's so hard about saying thanks but no thanks. Sure this woman is entitled to her free speech, just like those fans cursing at the Sox game, but this poor girl was obviosuly shaken and is just trying to reach people to discuss what she believes strongly in. Am I missing anything Sox fans?

what's next you go to Woodfield Shopping Center and here some teenagers swearing and decide to write a letter to Woodfield? How about walking down the streets of Chicago and hearing the same. Do you write a letter to the mayor? I agree with the inquiry into autographs, that's a fair question.. but complaining about people swearing... TFB.

So I ask Sox Fans... now do you look to trade some top-Minor League talent (Borchard, Munoz, etc) for a quality 4-8 weelk replacement for Maggs?

why do you feel sorry for me?

and quickly they provide the White Sox press release.

yeah i'll believe it when either whitesox.com or ESPN 1000 reports it. Sometimes the Score is nothing more than a sports tabloid station. "The score reports it first, the Cubs are going to trade Paul Bako for Barry Bonds and cash considerations..."

is Burke the best catching prospect in the Sox system?

In the new batting order do you put Everett 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th... and why? I'd say... 1) Uribe-2B 2) Rowand-CF 3) Ordonez-DH 4) Lee-LF 5) Everett-RF 6) Konerko-1B 7) Valentin-SS 8) Crede-3B 9) Burke-C

here's all you need to know about Loaiza's numbers. 2003 2004 Ground Balls/Fly Balls 1.44 1.03 K/9 Innings 8.23 5.22 K/BB 3.70 1.85 Opponents Avg .233 .281 WHIP 1.11 1.42 Going into the Playoffs I'd put him as #4 on the Depth Chart.

Palmeiro is in the HR Derby and he isnt in the AS Game.

if Shingo doesn't mind, neither do I. On a side note, how is it any different then singing.. "Jose, Jose, Jose Jose.." to the tune of "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole?"

I propose that Major League Baseball caps the number of players from any one given team to 5. Remember a few yrs ago when Seattle had too many players too, because of all of the votes from Japan.

In case you missed the news, Joe Torre has replaced Tim Hudson (who is injured) with Javier Vazquez. So now the Yanks have 8 players on the All-Star Team.

Do you think Olivo will play? If so, I hope he gets a warm reception from Sox fans.

remembers starts like today when he thinks he's worth Freddy Garcia money.

this reminds me of early on in the war when CNN was reporting that Weapons of Mass Destruction had been found. A few hours later they found that it was Bug Spray. As Jon Stewart pointed out on the Daily Show a few months back.. "George Bush has finally found the Weapons of Mass Destruction he was looking for... the only problem, they are in North Korea!"

these copies are selling on Ebay for $10 each. "Dewey defeats Truman" Part 2

New Lineup should be 1) Harris-CF 2) Rowand-RF 3) Thomas-DH 4) Lee-LF 5) Konerko-1B 6) Valentin-SS 7) Crede-3B 8) Uribe-2B 9) Olivo-C

I understand he may be in a slump.. Why not drop him in the order. He's hitting .225 for the entire Month of June!!!

Anyone else think it's time for Uribe to go back to the bench? His average has dropped from .341 to .290-something here over the past 1 1/2 mos. Of course there is no way he could have kept that .341 average in place.. but he must be hitting .250 to make a .51 drop.
