O.U.C.H. - Palin BOOED....At Hockey Game

That's gotta hurt (video).

Especially since it occurs to me that this won't run in the "politics" or "national" section of the paper (though it may run there as well, after getting this kind of attention), but in the SPORTS section, where typically not-very-political folks hang out alongside their more-political brethren. The injection of this story into the sports world may be one of the few glimpses of politics that some segment of the electorate which doesn't bother reading those stories usually will get this season. And it wasn't pretty.

Especially when you consider some of the write ups. Here's Forbes, not exactly a buncha commies:

Palin Gets Booed in Philly! This is sure to be the headline splashed across television and newspapers Sunday morning, the day after the Republican Vice Presidential candidate and hockey mom from Alaska drops the puck at the ceremonial face-off for the Philadelphia Flyers' home opener on Saturday night at the soon-to-need-a-name-change Wachovia Center. What will be missing from the news: the jeers were deserved.


Ow. That's gonna sting. Even the AP, while not identifiable as a conservative or pro-business outlet in the way that Forbes is, said the following...which (unlike Forbes) will be read in dozens of papers around the country tomorrow:

Palin was booed when she first stepped on the ice before the Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers to drop the ceremonial first puck. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described "hockey mom," is trying to turn Pennsylvania into a red state.


Someone not long ago wrote up a post here about the "bloom being off the rose?"

I think they were right....just not about the right candidate.

I agree. My late wife and I taught our daughters abstinence also, but I suspect my wife also took other precautions as we sent them out into the world. Having come of age in the sixties we did not raise our children with blinders on. It does a great disservice to your children to forget what it was like to be a teen while you are raising one.

Did you watch the video comparing Hitler to Obama in Relief Society. Please don't make comments like this with the CTR in your siggy.
