Sarah Drops the Puck...

…and here’s the vid:

From the LA Times:

The world's most famous "hockey mom" can now join the ever-growing list of icons booed by Philly fans. Move over, Santa Claus and Mike Schmidt, Sarah Palin was booed tonight in front of Willow and Piper as she was introduced to drop the first puck at the Flyers' home opener against the New York Rangers.

Despite pleas from the scoreboard at the Wachovia Center, which read "Flyers fans, show Philadelphia's class and welcome America's No. 1 hockey mom, Sarah Palin," ABC News' Jake Tapper reports that the booing was so prevalent that the music had to be cranked up to "deafening" levels in order to compete with the fans from the city of Brotherly Love.

Yeah… the Flyers fans are a tough crowd, if one wants to be kind. I can think of other descriptive phrases, but I won’t go there… mainly coz I try and keep EIP clean, ya know? There’s more at Sports Illustrated and various Lefty blogs… if ya wanna go there. I, personally, don’t. Go to the Lefty blogs, that is. Not today.
