The Wachovia Center must have been filled with the liberal left wing gotcha media who's so in the can for Barack Obama on Saturday night. Because from the sounds of it, everyone in attendance was not happy to see Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin drop the puck before the Philadelphia Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers.The organizers of the photo-op tried every trick in the book to counter any booing. Cute little girl in home team jersey? Check. Palin's knocked up 16 year old daughter? Check. Music so loud that you can't even hear yourself think to drown out the boos? Check. But even with all that, the booing still came through loud and clear.
Really this couldn't have been too much of a surprise coming from Philadelphia sports fans. After all, this is the same city of fans who booed Santa Claus and threw snow balls at him. In addition they also once cheered as an opposing team’s star player lay motionless on the turf after sustaining what turned out to be a career-ending neck injury, threw batteries at a player who refused to sign with the Phillies baseball team and last month jeered their own mascot for dropping a foul ball.
The real question is if Sarah Palin was at the Wachovia Center dropping the ceremonial first puck, then who was in Alaska watching the Russians? Uh-oh.
