IWRC* "Hockey Mom" Palin is so pucked. Via Greg Mitchell:
*"In What Respect, Charlie?"...Lynn Zinser at her NYT hockey "Slapshot" blog just posted that Sarah Palin, in her much-ballyhooed appearance dropping the puck at the Philly Flyers' opener, was greeted by "resounding (almost deafening) boos from the Flyers crowd." Of course, Fox Sports was more "balanced," observing on its site, "The crowd reacted with a mixture of cheers and boos at her appearance." [I]t's hard to judge because of the music.
But Zinser's post had a lot more in mind: "I would object to this sideshow whichever political party it involved. Having vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin drop the ceremonial first puck at the Flyers’ opener Saturday night was problematic not because it was Palin — Flyers owner Ed Snider’s decision under the flimsy excuse of 'honoring' hockey moms — but because it is injecting politics in a place it should not be." More:
The biggest problem: when Palin came out to onto the Wachovia Center ice Saturday night — greeted by resounding (almost deafening) boos from the Flyers crowd — the the two hockey players who had no choice but to appear with her in that photo op were turned into props in a political campaign. If Rangers center Scott Gomez or Flyers center Mike Richards wanted to make some sort of political statement, that would be fine, but in this case, they were thrust into a situation not of their choosing. Snider put them there with his ill-advised mixing of politics and sports.
The level of discomfort has been palpable for the Rangers’ two Alaska natives, Gomez and Brandon Dubinsky, as they have been asked questions about Palin and the election in recent weeks.

Puck off, IWRC.
My God, was that recorded on someone's cell phone? The audio was atrocious! Please try to find a better clip with better sound quality. Thanks
I have no control over which clips are out there, Markiebee. If you come across one, let me know.
Oh boy that can't have been a memorable experience
for Ms. Alaska.
Booed at a hockey arena of all places..
YE-OW-ZA
Loved your headline GottaLaff.
Pucking funny that one.
"The slapshot heard 'round the world!" LOL
Hehee, thanks, Wotching.
Margers, oooohhhhh!
Too bad they don't throw squid (salmon?) onto the rink like the Red Wings.
Shoulda thrown a moose head at this one.
Here is a little better audio

Thanks, Blade. It's up now. : )
Wotching, Sara Palin was never Miss Alaska! She was a runner up.
Maryline Blackburn was Miss Alaska in '84. here she is in her evening gown.

Did she actually bring her kids on the ice for cover? How very pathetic this woman is to watch.
I guess we all love socialism. All of you should go to china. See how it is there. Our reckless government does nothing but demand a check. How can we all be so blind to elect another dem into the office. Give her a chance. Here's a noble idea... Work, make money, and NOT give it to a Noboma socialist! You all are under the biggest snake oil salesman (Obama) to ever come. He mush laugh his A*S off behind closed doors. But well give him even more money to run our health care? -I hope she get in a sends all of these fat cats home! She's our only hope, like it or not! Give yourselfs more credit, we don't need socialism.
Jeez I hafta remember that.
Thanks Lucy.
Ms. Alaska -" RUNNER up."
Not quite the same huh?!!!
Ms. Blackburn is quite beautiful (and i dig that it was a black woman who trumped her.)
Just wotched the phuck dropping video, (curtesy of Blade) and boy, does she ever like to dole out those kisses to the guys.
Note: NOT to the homely broad though.
Nooo, only big tough, machismo, hockey dudes does our Sawah like to flirt with.
Wonder if the player in the closing seconds of the video was relishing it or no?
Methinks not!
Where was First Dude? Somewhere Pucked Up over the investigation?
I loved seeing the ObamaBiden sign in the background and the thumbs down from the crowds. Go Philly
Fellow anon - so you are saying socialism for Wall Street only, and of course socialized health care for Gramps McCain and friends only, not the masses!
I often complained about the news media not showing these videos of "Anti-McCain/Palin" folks!
Now I don't...
If more Americans saw these videos of Palin being unmercifully booed..and so embarrassed by it. These scenes might generate a "sympathy vote" for their ticket!! Wouldn't want that to happen.
The major news media is doing The Obama/Biden Campaign a great favor by continuing to air the crowds of "rabid" McCain/Palin supporters spewing hatred at every rally!!
This news gets plenty of airtime, airs all AROUND THE WORLD...and McCain's ratings in the polls continue to "drop like a rock"!!!
Excellent game plan; McCain you and Palin continue to destroy your own campaign!!
I have to say as a Democrat I have never been so put out by the hatred and disrespect in a campaign. I am looking really hard for a solution and I don't think I am finding it in the party I am supporting. Why must we have so much anger?
Which one of Palin's kids play hockey?
Her oldest son joined the military because he was partying too much.
Her oldest daughter dropped out of high school because she got pregnant.
As much as she uses her kids for political gain, don't you think we would have seen one of them in a video, or even a team uniform?
Just another lie to add to the batch.
As a Rangers fan I never thought I'd say this but good job Flyers fans.
