...evidence found at The Onion would suggest that the protective equipment might come in handy next time Ms. Palin finds herself in this situation

Very nice...and evidence that neither hockey players or the media, even the alternative media, can pass up an opportunity to “grope” Ms. Palin.

Personally, I can’t wait to see the furor that erupts over Mr. Obama delaying the start of a World Series game. Oh, right, that won’t happen because he’s a, well, you know, a guy.

I don’t get why it’s the flyers checking her...I mean, she did kill Manny Legace, shouldn’t the Blues be checking her?

And can we stop taking obvious jokes and crying like a little baby? Politics is tough, either step up and take it or go home.  Half the USA thinks Obama is a Muslim terrorist, I don’t think a sports website making fun of Sarah Palin is really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

Oh noes, Obama must be a communist cuz he takin away da baseballs!!!1!1@!!

ummm...wrong.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Fox_exec_Obama_didnt_delay_baseball.htmlA Fox Broadcasting executive denied that Barack Obama’s half-hour ad, scheduled for tomorrow night, forced Fox and Major League Baseball to delay the start of a World Series game.

That notion—which had been reported repeatedly, including here, has become a Republican talking point.

“No one will delay the World Series game with an infomercial when I’m president,” John McCain said today.

But the Fox account executive who negotiated the ad buy said Obama’s ad isn’t delaying the first pitch—it’s just replacing the pre-game show.

“Our first pitch for the world series is usually around 8:30 anyway – so we didn’t push back the game, it was really just about suspending the pre-game—you know, Joe Buck,” said the account executive, Joe Coppola. “That’s all we did.”

He said World Series games this season have begun between 8:22 p.m. and 8:35 p.m.

“We didn’t push back the game at all,” he said. He also said Obama had initially arranged to buy the time only if the Series were over before Game Six (in fact, a rain-delayed Game Five will continue tomorrow night), but Fox then decided to sell the campaign the time whether or not the game was played.

“By no means did they push to get us to accommodate them with Game Six,” said Coppola, whom the Obama campaign suggested I call.  “We’re just missing the pregame, which isn’t a big deal for us. It was a business decision.”
