I just talked to a fellow Kossack who was at the game. She said the booing was deafening. She thinks asshole owner Ed Snider(Bush Pioneer) played with the PA system to minimize it. Whatever, I heard it fine.

Those Oreos weren’t glued to her coat. They were thrown at her, just like they were thrown at Michael Steele!!1!!

It was so cold down there on the ice, they stuck.

I forgot the best part. Obama spent the entire day in Philly. He slayed the city. Every quadrant was energized by him, I doubt she makes the front page of either paper.

Pardon me, but shouldn’t a real hockey mom be able to skate out there and drop the puck, instead of requiring a rug on the ice?

Thank you. I’m not a hockey mom, or even a mom, or a hockey player (but I live in Wisconsin and I’ve been to hockey games, does that count?). That was the first thing I thought of. She walked out there on carpet like figure skaters (Tonya Harding dreaming) do when they go collect their medals.

Interesting how the Fox video embed audio is different from the the utube.

Everyone knew Philly folks would boo. It’s been talked about for days. So she drags her two little girls out there to be bewildered and humiliated? What a bitch.

The line I’ve seen used most so far is: “Obama supporters are classless unhinged moonbats who enjoy booing a small child. How dare you tell McCain supporters to calm down?”

Apparently the McInsane campaign is either too dumb-struck by the rope-a-dope they are getting hit with to remember that Philly fans will boo anything, or they are the real elitists of this campaign who wouldn’t know anything about a working class town like Philly. Either explanation works; I’m thinking 65% of the latter, 35% of the former. I’m finding it quite entertaining.

To her credit she didn’t use Trig, holding him up like the Stanley Cup….

This needed a spew alert, TBogg.

Why is it that I only seem to get over here as the household is falling asleep and, inevitably, I get to choke-swallow a guffaw?

To her credit she didn’t use Trig, holding him up like the Stanley Cup

Yep, because bad things can happen when handling a trophy.

Maybe it’s just me, but I cannot STAND the term ‘hockey mom!’ Someone please tell me what it means? I’m just a lowly dog mom….

I think it’s a term used to describe a woman whose underage daughter has been impregnated by a hockey playing joe one pack short of a sixpack.

Make that ‘unmarried teenage daughter’.

Oh, she’ll make the front page of the paper. Just not the way the McCain-Palin comedy tour would prefer.

Sports fans in Philly seem to cling to their booing.

As much as I hate Flyerscum fans (Pens fan here), kudos to those holding the Obama/Biden signs.

Bucky Fucking Dent

C’mon, dude, that’s a low blow.
Its bad enough every week we NYers get dosed with an ultra-cute Bassett puppy named “Fenway”.
Let’s keep the politics clean, right?

Yeah, Minnie Mouse called. She wants her jacket back.

I woke to the local(Philly)NPR news account: she went on the ice to a smattering of boos that quickly turned to applause. NPR another victim of the bush oligarchy..

Let’s see: the Repubs chose to send out their VP candidate..

1. After said Veep candidate has spent weeks attacking the Democratic candidate as a terrorist and inspiring (and encouraging) racist comments about the Democratic candidate, thus ensuring that’s the Veep Candidate is hated by most Democrats.

and then…

2. sending the Veep Candidate into a DEMOCRATIC CITY…

3. in front of sports fans who are famous for booing anything that moves, including children and Santa Claus.

and they’re shocked, shocked I tell you that’s the Veep Candidate is booed? Cry me a river. I feel sorry for the kids, but Mom had it coming. Gee, I hope she’s better at facing Putin than she is facing Philly sports fans..

To her credit she didn’t use Trig, holding him up like the Stanley Cup….

I was thinking more like Martin Sheen with the baby in The Dead Zone, myself, but same principle.

I was thinking much the same thing, Philly’s gotta be the bluest town in PA and it’s overall a working class blue at that. Also, Mrs. Frontier Hockey Mom is surprised to see things getting rowdy at a hockey game? Isn’t that why people go to them?

Plus, it’s a publicly funded arena which should never have been used for a political photo op.

As for the kids, poor Piper is the new Trig. I notice they stick her in the team jersey of whatever city they’re visiting these days. And why isn’t she in (and sometimes Willow, for that matter) school? Given the poor girl’s intellectual gene pool, she needs all the help she can get.

I’ll give Barbie props for one thing: Traitor/Alaska’s resources are MY resources Todd is absent.

Yet another bright idea from the campaign team that brought…well, Palin.

The oreo cookie thing cracked me up. I’ll never be able to look at the coat the same way again.

The NHL started its season across North America this week, why do you think they picked Philly?
They knew she’d get booed, hell they were hoping someone would throw stuff on the ice - why do you think Bible Spice brought Fidget and Pontoon or whateverthehell their names are along for the ride. It was a a set up to make Palin look like the victim of meanspirited Northeastern Democrats. The footage of those “low-class east-coast elitist Obama supporters attacking a six-year-old girl” will play on an endless loop in Rethug world from now until November 2012

I’m sure they will also want to point out that those booing hockey fans are likely low class elitist minorities. Oh wait….

Aren’t those booing fans the “ordinary, hardworking Americans” whom Palin professes to represent? If an ordinary, hardworking American was to ring either Palin’s or McCain’s doorbell their reaction would be to dial 911 while releasing the dogs.

Ed Rendell donated big time $$$$ to McCain/Palin. That’s why she was there.

The Wachovia Center cut the mics once the Palin clan hit the carpet and cranked up the presidential music to deafening levels. I recorded the game on MSG and noticed it right away.

There were thunderous boos for about twenty seconds, and those that were cheering were mostly in the pricey seats by the glass. Big surprise.

I mean Flyers owner Ed Snider donated the loot.

Thank you for clarifying - I thought it meant ‘one who has sacrificed one’s own adult life, with it’s attendant creative desires and drives, to instead live safely and vicariously through one’s children’s sporting activities.’

Dude, did the announcer just call her a “puck drop” or– wait, what?

Yes he is a perpetual “Pioneer” for the goopers.

Apparently this “hockey mom” doesn’t know shit about the NHL.

Bible Spice! Fidget!! Pontoon!!! Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that, or it woulda been Danny Thomas spit-take time all over my iMac.

I was just checking in on what’s new here and started laughing so hard my husband asked what’s so funny? I kept trying to tell him “Fidget and Pontoon” but the more I tried to say it the harder I laughed. He finally had to come over and read my monitor while I went to find a Kleenex.

Thanks. My sinuses are clear now.

OK, this is pretty much a dead thread, but Danny Thomas? Wow, haven’t though about him for years.

Now I feel old. But great reference, thanks.

You’re on the money revpaperboy. It’s what Nixon used to do in his campaigns to generate sympathy for himself.

Why did Sarah Palin have four Oreos glued to the front of her coat?

They’re lures for Todd. It’s been long enough since she spawned that she’s starting to feel frisky again, and she’s going to go up to him with nothing underneath the coat and ask him if he wants to “lick out the creamy center.”

Hey, you asked.

Sarah Palin videoo, its great.

I just threw up in my mouth a little — and even that turns me on more than Sarah Palin. I’m gonna need a lot of Shakira videos to erase that horrible image from my mind’s eye.
