Hockey mom, is she? Well that depends who you ask. Having been selected to drop the first puck of the Philadelphia Flyers first home game, she made a gaffe-free appearance in South Philly. Whoever thought it could be possible? Just over ten days after she voiced a contrasting view of Pakistan in a "gotcha interview", she returned to the City of Brotherly Love. Yes, that's right went back to conquer Philly twice. According to a local newspaper, she was greeted warmly by the well-heeled, season ticket holders seated in the lower level. However, their cheers were drowned out by a cacophony of "boo's" from those seated in the upper levels. I guess the Flyers personnel must have anticipated mixed reactions--they complimented her walking out onto the ice and puck drop with a triumphant fanfare recording. There was a lovely black carpet laid out for her to walk on with her daughter (donned in a Flyers jersey cough pandering! cough). It must have been quite the spectacle. Now the Vice Presidential hopeful has puck-dropping experience to add to her resume.
Unfortunately, I do believe that another politician stole her thunder that day. Yes he can, Barack Obama had a huge rally in Philadelphia that afternoon, which drew thousands.
Nice job, Sarah Palin. Stay as far away from Alaska as you can right now. It's better to let all of this dust settle over your alleged abuse of power. No need to sweat it now, doggone it! You will have plenty of time to sort all of this out come November 7 while you're looking for a new job like the rest of America.
