Philly to IWRC* Palin: "Hey Hockey Mom -- Keep the Puck out of PA"

By GottaLaff

No need to snark this one up. There's already plenty to go around. Suh-nap!

Someone had the bright idea of sending Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to the Irish Pub on Walnut Street in downtown Philly before the debate yesterday.

More than 400 McCain-Palin supporters were in the bar waiting for her; more than 300 McCain-Palin opponents were outside the bar, heckling her on as Philadelphians know how to do.

Sporting a red Phillies jacket, over a white t-shirt that read "Sarahcuda," Palin entered the bar to the protestors chanting "Obama! Obama!"

Some set off flares.

They held up signs: "McSame/Failin';" "Hey Hockey Mom -- keep the puck out of PA;" "Just like Bush in lipstick."

Inside, people were much more welcoming. However...

Her exit from the Irish Pub was met with a harsh wave of boos from the protesters standing on Walnut Street.

As she eased into her motorcade one man yelled, "I can see Alaska from Walnut Street!"

Does a few minutes in that pub give IWRC* her Ireland creds now? Or was her stopover enough?

*"In What Respect, Charlie?"
