Don’t boo Bush?
Chris Matthews was upset at this morning’s pre-inaugural events when then-President (I love that I can say that!!) George W. Bush was introduced, because the crowd boo’d him:

I especially enjoyed the “hey-hey-good-bye” singing for Bush, which happened on at least two occasions.
This is a man who is responsible for thousands of deaths, torture, unnecessary war, robbing us of our civil liberties, ruining our nation’s name and image, and driving the country into the ground, to name a few - and then you’re surprised and offended that when he shows up at a public event, people boo him!? What are we supposed to do Chris, cheer for him?
It was one of the most ridiculous instances of somebody being surprised I’ve ever heard. Any clapping, not booing, for this man should be the thing ridiculed. As you’d say, Chris, “you get what you deserve, buddy”.

I agree. I am sure there were people there in the “audience” whose family members were killed in Iraq and because of hurricane Katrina, among other things. I actually thought Chris Matthews was really annoying during that broadcast, I found myself saying out loud for him to “shut up already”.
