Political Play: Palin drops puck at Flyers' game
Quote
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.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

...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...)

Those who see their lives as spoiled and wasted crave equality and fraternity more than they do freedom. If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity. The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.
-Eric Hoffer, "The True Believer", 1951
