"Hockey Mom" Sarah Palin Booed at Rangers-Flyers Hockey Game in Philly
In 2000 and 2004, evangelicals, excited over issues like gay marriage and abortion, helped put this nation's worst president over the top. But in 2008, evangelicals were unhappy with the twice-married Republican nominee, who once called Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell "agents of intolerance." These evangelicals made it clear that if McCain selected as his running mate a pro-choice candidate such as Joe Lieberman, Charlie Crist or Tom Ridge, they would most likely stay home on November 4th, or perhaps even cast their votes for Barack Obama.
And so the Republican ticket ended up with self-proclaimed "hockey mom joe six-pack pitbull with lipstick" Sarah Palin. Which was fine until Palin opened her mouth without a teleprompter in front of her.
Turns out, Sarah Palin is (surprise, surprise) clueless on foreign policy and just about everything else. She doesn't read newspapers (and can't even name any), and didn't own a passport until last year. She's as a curious as a footstool and only slightly less intelligent.
Were this 2000, none of this would probably matter. But this country is now coming off of 8 years of George W. Bush. And the Republicans nominated as their presidential candidate a 72-year-old man with a history of deadly skin cancer, which makes his selection of VP even more important.
Finally, in 2008, the likes of Sarah Palin is unacceptable.
Yes, even in a hockey rink.
Sarah Palin dropped the puck in a Rangers-Flyers match-up this weekend, and she was booed worse than Roseanne Barr when Roseanne sung the national anthem, spit and grabbed her crotch in front of tens of thousands of fans in San Fran.
Turns out, even hockey fans in Philadelphia have no use for "hockey mom" Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin tried to deflect some of the boos by trotting out her seven-year-old daughter Piper. But even that didn't quiet the crowd.

Post a CommentPalin plays to the religious right and yet she looks like a hooker with the red high heels and excessive makeup. Huh ?
Palin is as evil as Hitler with trying to link Obama to terrorists..... she's inciting hate and violence.
Great hockey is a good game. Sarah looks well in the DVD and you can hardly here the boo's. Also could these boo's be to the players, after-all it is only a game, right?
LOL: "She's as a curious as a footstool and only slightly less intelligent. "
Of course Philadelphians like to boo, but Palin would have been booed in any major city where people don't buy her "small town values" crap. I'm sure she would have been cheered dropping the puck in some podunk town where people are dumb enough to believe Obama is an A-Rab and that dinosaurs and humans walked the earth together. Some place like Wasilla, AK.
Certainly isn't surprising that Palin would be booed in a city that is heavily democratic and will go for Obama by 60% at least...
Jack, of course you're right about the selection of Palin....she reminds me of a bumper sticker that you see around every once in awhile "god said it, I believe it, that settles it." That statement represents the entire belief structure of a person such as Palin. If it's not part of their dogma, they have no interest in hearing about it or learning more. That's why they can say with a straight face dinosaurs and humans lived together, among other idiocies..
Hey Jim, who exactly are you referring to? You never heard me spout off that I want a "regular citizen" in the White House. No, not if by "regular citizen" you mean someone with average (or in Palin's case, below average) intelligence, below average curiosity about the world, and a hardcore belief in myth and superstition. And who do you think you're kidding about the Religious Right? Even after it became clear that McCain was going to be the Republican nominee, Mike Huckabee was winning a good number of the red states. Who exactly was voting for the religious huckster - fiscal conservatives or foreign policy conservatives? That's right, neither. And you give me one honest reason why McCain selected Sarah Palin (as opposed to a qualified man or woman), aside from the fact that he needed to throw a bone to the evangelicals. And don't say "executive experience" because I just had lunch.
So the same peeps that booed Santa Claus boo Palin and that is supposed to sway or impress someone? I've been to Philly, and from what I've seen, and based on the peeps I know from Philly, big F'ing deal that they boo her. That's like a badge of honor Jack! And this Christian thing y'all got going on is so far off the mark as to be not funny anymore. The Christian right tried to seize power in Reagan's first term, and they were turned away by the rank and file Republicans. You mention old Republicanism as if it were a good thing - odd too in that pre-Reagan days the Republicans were indeed the "Country Club Bluebloods" but with the neo-con revolution Republicanism became a party of the everyman. Odd as well that the erudite hate Palin, a regular Joe if ever there were one, yet then they will rail about the corruption of the DC insiders, of which she clearly is not one, and you guys attack her for it? How bizarre! Ya want a regular citizen, then get one and complain.
