Democrat rolls Pombo but GOP prevails

Nah, this is not a prediction of the outcome of the November general election. This is about the annual congressional baseball game last night.

GOP Rep. Richard Pombo was playing the catcher’s position when Democrat Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri charged home plate after a foul ball and bowled him over. The Democrats in the crowd reportedly went nuts.

“No harm done,” says Pombo flack Lucas Frances, tongue firmly in cheek. “Pombo is accustomed to attacks from left field.”

The final score?

Republicans 12, Democrats 1.
