Hockey moms for Obama

A new video spoof adds a twist to an "Evita" classic: "Don't speak for me, Sarah Palin; the truth is I do not like you."

The letters thread is now closed.

That was funny.

I love this woman.

She trumps the Asian anti-gay-marriage children.

The lipstick at the end was hilarious. The guy at the piano looks like he is so very pleased with her. If he is, as I think he is, her husband, then that is a seriously lucky man.

They look incredibly sweet together

It's not just that the song is fun, but the Hockey-mom and moose really look and sound good together. The kiss at the end is an extra kick at Palin; someone with kids and a GOOD family life doesn't want you.

Thanks Broadsheet, for sharing this one.

Hooray for hockey moms

The honor of hockey moms, or at least some of them, has been restored.

I agree with the content part

it is indeed a very funny and charming video. But it makes me feel a little sorry. I wouldn't like to be a person about whom a charming little YouTube video says, 'I don't like you'. It kinda hurts...

brilliant

Wow. I came directly to SALON after watching the Obama Infomercial.. then John Stewart, Steven Colbert... (great night of viewing for me)

Then I view this playful piece...

I must be the corniest/democrat/school counselor/ mother/wife/roller derby playing/ registered voter... because as I smiled... I felt teary. Thank you for this uplifting piece.

Can I also add... I am not remotely trained, but this Obama-Voting-Hockey-Mom has a great voice, and great accompaniment :) Can't wait for Nov. 4th!

@ Asehpe

That is very noble of you, but as I see it, Palin has brought parodies such as this one on herself with her thoroughly repulsive and disgusting hatefulness. If you think this is bad, you won't want to see what kind of reactions are posted if, God forbid, the GOP manages to steal this election, too. Let us not forget that Palin jumped at the chance to go on SNL, where she was mocked in several skits. From all that I've read, it seems that millions of viewers both then and later on YouTube *were* laughing at her, not with her. By her own choices Palin has made a fool of herself, and I feel not one ounce of remorse at laughing at this hilarious parody. Brava indeed! And good job on the accompaniment, Mr. Moose, too!
