“Hockey mom” Sarah Palin not terribly popular with Philly hockey fans

Just in case you’re wondering how this little cameo happened in the first place, the owner of the Philadelphia Flyers is Edward Snider, a well-known Republican corporate grunt. This is just one more example of how far out of touch the suits tend to be with their most loyal customers. However, do keep in mind that the fans at the Wachovia Center will boo just about anything.

A few interesting notes from the video description:

The arena had to raise the music volume to drown out the booing. Some have claimed they also piped in cheers. Palin has said she put her 7-year-old daughter Piper in a Flyers jersey to discourage some of the booing.

Nice. For the curious, the Rangers went on to thump the Flyers 4-3.
