'Hockey Mom' Sarah Palin Booed at Philadelphia Puck Drop
America's best-known "regular hockey mom" Sarah Palin was not offered the warmest welcome from the crowd at the Flyers-Rangers game in Philadelphia where she dropped the ceremonial first puck on Saturday, flanked by New York Rangers assistant captain Scott Gomez and Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards.
ABC's Jake Tapper notes that the moment was made less embarrassing by "healthy applause and deafening PA music."
FOX News assured the boos were edited out.
The moment was reminiscent of Bush's first pitch at the Washington Nationals' season opener earlier this year.
Watch and listen, AFTER THE JUMP...
OK...
They obviously do not do any research at all. Santa Claus was booed in Philadelphia and pelted with snowballs. WTF did they think would happen?

Her approval rating is fast approaching bush territory.
The latest polls have her at only 36% approval rating.

Too funny, real people who have concerns about real issues, saw that Gomer Pyle in a pant's suit and too much lip stick instead of those cheap off the rack dresses is not the answer, rock on Philly for freedom!
And, leave it to Fixed Noise to edit out the boo's.

Perhaps Fox was simply trying to be "fair and just". Do you think?

I believe the crowd was actually chanting "Boo-urns!"
