Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the nation’s most popular hockey mom, will join the winner of the Philadelphia Flyers regional search for the “Ultimate Hockey Mom” contest and drop the puck at the ceremonial opening face-off as the home team Flyers host the New York Rangers at the Wachovia Center on Saturday, October 11 at 7 p.m.Let's see, nationally derided joke of a VP candidate on a nationally derided joke of a Presidential campaign goes to one of the most democratic cities in the country, which also happens to be the home of the most degenerate, tactless sports fans in the country, to drop the puck in front of the city's most degenerate subgenre of fans: Philadelphia Flyers fans. Oh dear God, I hope this part is televised. There will be relentless booing despite the presence of a local hockey mom (remember these people did boo Santa) and the distinct possibility of battery throwing.
“Because of the tremendous amount of publicity she has brought to our sport, we invited the most popular hockey mom in North America to our home opener to help us get our season started,” said Comcast-Spectacor Chairman Ed Snider who founded the Flyers in 1967. “We are very excited she has accepted our offer and we are very proud of the publicity she is generating for hockey moms and the sport of hockey.”
Good job McCain campaign and Republican Flyers owners. You just opened your candidate up to national embarrassment (though admittedly not the kind that would occur if she did an interview) and possible Duracell related physical harm, all for the sake of exposure in a city you will lose badly in a state you will lose less badly. Thank you, I needed some weekend entertainment with no Steelers game.
