Because it’s a horserace…

How conflicted will David Kaiser be?

Posted on October 8th, 2008 at 7:53 pm by Red State Eddio

I’m sure that DK was happily unpacking all his paraphernalia from out of the closet: dusting off the cap, smoothing out the jacket, getting his “Ron Hextall” jersey free of mothballs - all to be ready for another year of Philadelphia Flyers hockey. Having made it to the Eastern Conference Finals before getting flattened by the Penguins, DK was excited to get a ticket to opening night and enjoy another great season of hockey - until he read the following headline:

“‘Hockey Mom’ Palin to Drop Flyers’ First Puck”

Now imagine the conflict inside DK’s soul: support my beloved Flyers while this renegade interloper upon the Presidential scene sanctions the inaugural game of the season with her presence? She of little experience and even less intelligence? Oh, the horror!

A sleepless night in the City of Brotherly Love ensued…

    I’ve just finally been able to stop laughing hard enough to write this.

    I will get you Eddio… oh, yes I will.

      Aaccch, you’re all talk. Just like the “B” line defense. ;-)

    I thought Ron Hextall was a nice touch. Remember him?

      Remember him? He was the man!

      Any NHL goalie you see today that handles the puck well, does so because they watched Ron Hextall as a kid.

    I don’t know anything about hockey or Ron Hextall, but thanks for the laugh!

    Can she skate backwards?
    Wait. What am I asking?

    Sarah Palin could drop the puck and stay in to ref the game.

      Sarah could throw the puck up in the air and shoot it, skeet-style.
