Seeking light in a murky world


Narcissism

Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider is a diehard Republican. In an apparent effort to give the McCain/Palin ticket a boost in a state where they are well behind, Snider arranged an appearance by “Hockey Mom” Sarah Palin.

What could go wrong?

This.

The booing was incredibly loud, so loud that even cranking the music way up couldn’t drown it out.

In a transparently craven move, Palin brought two of her children onto the ice with her, in the misguided belief that it would dissuade the crowd from booing. Forgetting that Flyers fans once booed Santa Claus.

But why do I mention narcissism?

Because Palin seethed, “How dare they boo Piper!”

Um…

They weren’t booing Piper.

They were booing you, you blithering idiot.

Sigh.

Please wake me in a month when the election is over and Bible Spice goes back to being a mere local embarassment.
