Gov. Palin - meet the Broad Street Bullies
In the infinite wisdom of the McCain campaign, which has deemed the mainstream media too hostile and sexist to allow their vice-presidential candidate to hold a single press conference as of yet, it appears Governor Palin is headed to the friendliest place on earth. No, not Disneyland - a Flyers home game:
The GOP vice presidential nominee will drop the ceremonial first puck when the Philadelphia Flyers open the regular season against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described "hockey mom,” will join the winner of a team promotion for the “Ultimate Hockey Mom” to drop the puck.
OK....so the McCain campaign is telling us that Katie Couric was too tough, but a drunken, obnoxious Philadelphia Flyers crowd will be suitable? These are the same people who booed Santa Claus....who booed Michael Irvin when he lay motionless at Veterans Stadium, fearful of a spinal injury....who mercilessly booed local heroes like Mike Schmidt, Charles Barkley, Richie Ashburn...this is the event for which they choose to let her loose into the wild?
I realize that Pennsylvania is a swing state and the crowds at sporting events tend to skewer more conservative...but this can't have been thought out too clearly by the geniuses in the McCain campaign. I hope the Philly faithful show Gov. Palin all due respect and courtesy...but let's be honest - when they have a prison set up in the bowels of Veterans' Stadium for all the criminals attending Eagles games, I'm not optimistic she'll get a polite welcome.

There's a rumor she'll be on SNL tonight.
Hey, I'm all for hockey and comedy, but she's running for vice president of my country. I'd love to find out who she actually is.
Tune into your local Fox News/RNC-approved propaganda outlet for the only time she'll appear without handlers. Where she'll be asked the hard-hitting questions like:
- is it difficult loving America as much as you do?
- how does it feel to be the most important person in the history of any presidential campaign?
- how will you convince voters fooled by the media elite that Obama is a muslim terrorist who loves terrorism?
- are you, indeed, cuter than puppies but tougher than a pitbull?
- why do liberal men hate you? Does your beauty intimidate them?
- how would you kill a top Al-Queda terrorist? Would you field dress him?
