I had no idea that the National Hockey League was in the business of endorsing candidates. This from the NHL website (www.nhl.com)

"Sarah Palin to drop puck at Flyers season opener

"We are very excited she (Palin) has accepted our offer and we are very proud of the publicity she is generating for hockey moms and the sport of hockey." -- Comcast-Spectacor Chairman Ed Snider

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the nation’s most popular hockey mom, will join the winner of the Philadelphia Flyers regional search for the "Ultimate Hockey Mom" contest and drop the puck at the ceremonial opening face-off as the home team Flyers host the New York Rangers at the Wachovia Center on Saturday, October 11 at 7 p.m.

More over the fold...

Sarah Palin says she would be good at at "foreign policy" because from Alaska, you can see Russia.

Not to be outdone, Richard Fontaine, an aide for McCain claimed today at an Americas Conference panel in Miami that Johnnie Boy has great interest and expertise in Latin America affairs because back in the 50's, he had a torrid fling with a Panamanian hottie.

Buried deep within the Troopergate affair may be the REAL REASON McPalin is doing her best to delegitimize and scuttle the duly authorized Branchflower investigation...and it's a doozy if Alaskan radio talk show host Dan Fagan is to be believed. It's the oldest trick in the book: revenge.

"So why would the governor sacrifice her reputation as an honest and different kind of politician just to cover the fact that she was doing something for the public good? Why do she and her new handlers in the McCain camp believe there is something in Troopergate that could cost them the election?

Follow me if you dare into this tangled web of Palinbaloney.

"Conventional running is my sanity," Gov. Palin says. Having recently given birth to her fifth child, the governor is trying to get back to her old workout routine. She was running 7 to 10 miles almost every day but switched to aerobics classes at her gym when she became pregnant. She has worked her way back up to running three miles every other day.

In the summer, when it's always light, she'll sometimes run as late as midnight. In the dead of winter, when it's dark, she sneaks in an afternoon run, or else grudgingly runs on the treadmill at home or at the gym in the evening. Gov. Palin keeps dumbbells at home, but she says most of her upper body strength comes from snowmobiling with her family. "It's the best upper body workout you could ever have," she says. "You're maneuvering through hundreds of pounds of powder." (Todd is a four-time champion of the Tesoro Iron Dog, the world's longest snowmobile race.)"

I'm glad Gov. Palin loves to run, but frankly, she's running from answering tough questions. She's not ready to Meet The Press, but she's ready to take on Osama Bin Laden.

Before you tar and feather me, I'm a proud bleeding heart liberal. I have always supported Democratic candidates. I became even more active when Clinton was unfairly impeached. I can't count how many faxes, phone calls, letters and e-mails I've sent whenever I received a call to action. When Al Gore was cheated out of being President, I went crazy: I blogged, I ranted, I phoned, I even put orange ribbons on the trees in my front yard. So yeah, I'm a Democrat through and through.

But I'm sick of this year's race, I'm tired of the candidates, and quite frankly, my family and I don't give a hoot's owl if it's Obama or Hilary. We suffer from ADWD: Any Democrat Will Do.

Guess the only poetry this body likes is of the "monkey see, monkey do" variety. So much for free speech.

"A Nassau legislative comittee yesterday voted down a proposal to name the county's first poet laureate, saying some of the nominee's writings were offensive to service members fighting overseas.

Before the 6-1 vote against the nomination of Maxwell Corydon Wheat Jr., Minority Leader Peter Schmitt said the Freeport poet's writings "condemn the troops fighting for America in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that's absolutely tragic.

"... I don't care what his politics are, but you don't condemn the men and women who answer this nation's call and put on the uniform," Schmitt said.

I live on Long Island, and next Tuesday my family (Democrats all) were prepared to vote for Hillary. Hillary's been doing a lot of vote stumping in my neck of the woods.

We were prepared to vote for Mrs. Clinton, until she launched her verbal assault on Kerry.

Say what you will about Kerry's gaffe. He bungled a dumb joke, while Bush bungled a dumb war. Which is worse?

Hillary will have to win NY without our votes.

Jane at Firedoglake.com had it right.

The Daily Journal of Illinois reports:

"Rep. Jerry Weller, R-Morris, through his election attorney, moved Thursday to inform the House that a former page or intern may have been the subject of inappropriate attention from another lawmaker, Weller's campaign manager said Thursday.

Steven Shearer said the congressman was not prepared to reveal the identity of the youth, the timing, nor the identity of the lawmaker, but felt confident that a former page or intern was "inappropriately invited to a social function by another congressman."

On Free Republic, Chris Shays defense of Hastert's handling of Holy Foley by dragging Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick into it ("I know the speaker didn't go over a bridge and leave a young person in the water, and then have a press conference the next day," the embattled Connecticut congressman told The Hartford Courant in remarks published Wednesday.") is going over like gangbusters.

A few for your reading pleasure:

"Is there a single Democrat who has a sense of shame?"

I always thought that Chris Shays of CT was a stand up guy. During the Clinton impeachment nonsense, I remember that he was a voice of reason. Now Chris is singing a different tune. What happened to him?

UPDATE: KO discussed this with Howard Finemann of Newsweek last night. Finemann said he was "astonished" over Shays remarks. "Republican Rep. Christopher Shays defended the House speaker's handling of a congressional page scandal, saying no one died like at Chappaquiddick in 1969 when Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy was involved.

"I know the speaker didn't go over a bridge and leave a young person in the water, and then have a press conference the next day," the embattled Connecticut congressman told The Hartford Courant in remarks published Wednesday.

"Dennis Hastert didn't kill anybody," he added."

Fast breaking from ABCNews.com from Brian Ross

"Three more former congressional pages have come forward to reveal what they call "sexual approaches" over the Internet from former Congressman Mark Foley."

Hold your nose, more over the flip.

Well, that didn't take long.

FROM AP: "A senior congressional aide said Wednesday that he alerted House Speaker Dennis Hastert's office two years ago about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages."
