Like Gov. Sarah Palin, I can lay claim to being "your average hockey mom." Who knew doing piles of stinky laundry was a resume-booster in Washington?
Come to think of it, hockey is a lot like the Republican party: there are hardly any female and African American players and lots of gratuitous violence.
High school hockey costs a lot more than other sports because you have to rent rink time. There again, it's like the Republican party: you have to pay to play, big time.
If your kid plays JV hockey, you can count on inconvenient practice times, iffy game schedules, and general disinterest from the varsity coach. The GOP is fine with the have/have-not status quo too.
When McCain introduced Gov. Palin yesterday in Dayton, it was the third time he had ever met with her. He said she is "one who takes privilege over responsibility" -- an obvious blooper. What bugs me is that no media people pointed this out. These gaffes are getting so routine with him, they aren't even worth mentioning anymore.
I agree with NBC's Chuck Todd who called the Palin pick a gimmick. Icing!
