Sarah Palin continues to demonstrate her executive credentials by dropping black cylinders onto sheets of ice across America.

Republican vice-presidential candidate and self-proclaimed "hockey mom" Sarah Palin will drop the ceremonial first puck Friday night at the St. Louis Blues' game against the Los Angeles Kings.

And some folks are none too pleased.

Frankly, I'm all for calling BS on manipulative photo-op stunts like this, but when has encouraging professional sports fans to be lewd and obnoxious ever worked.
