Political Play: Palin drops puck at Flyers' game (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gyXVIfZ2F2CTuuxH3_93vuTP-ywwD93OK9GG0)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — <snip>
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.
Palin waved to the crowd and smiled as the reaction quickly turned to polite applause. Her hair down and wearing her Tina Fey-glasses and a coat, Palin dropped the puck between Flyers center Mike Richards and Rangers center Scott Gomez. Gomez is from Alaska.
The NHL said it did not view the Flyers' invitation to be politically motivated.
"Governor Palin is a supporter of the sport, which she has proclaimed publicly," said NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly. "As a public figure who has a very public connection with hockey, her recent associations with the Flyers and other NHL franchises is not surprising and, in our view, not inappropriate."
This lady's gonna be dangerous by 2012. That was smooth. :-)

She has 2 qualities not seen in politics for quite some time: class and aplomb.

I saw they game last night :)
She is very classy and her daughter (piper) is as cute as anything.

...and wearing her Tina Fey-glasses...
WTF? Tina Fey would be the butt of SNL jokes if it weren't for Palin!
(Yeah, I know... I saw the Palin-Clinton sketch, but still...)
