City Of Brotherly Love My Butt

The Cream Cheese Is Soft But Philadelphia Is Not On Politicians

November 10. 2008

Barack Obama and Joe Biden

Philadelphia is known as “The City of Brotherly Love” but they sure let vice president Joe Biden have it (I know I’m supposed to write “vice president elect” but after what Bush and co. did these last few years, can you blame me for moving it along).

Biden was booed at an Eagles-Giants game. He’s got company, though, as Sarah Palin was subjected to the same in Philadelphia as well.

Times are hard and they are probably tired of politics and booing anything resembling a politician. It’s hard to make a Philly cheese steak when the price of meat and cheese has doubled.

Biden booed at Eagles-Giants game

(CNN) – People sure to draw the ire of Philadelphia sports fans: Cowboys players. Supporters of any visiting team. Presidential running mates.

Weeks after Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin got a brutal greeting at the rink, football fans gave a similar reception to Vice President-elect Joe Biden.

As Eagles fans watched their team lose to the New York Giants Sunday night, a shot of Biden on the big screen elicited boos from the notoriously tough home crowd, the Associated Press reports.

Biden sat in Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's box, taking in the game during his first weekend off since Tuesday's election.

Sarah Palin was booed when she dropped the puck at the Philadelphia Flyers season opener in October. But Philadelphia is a heavily Democratic city, and Palin is not a Pennsylvania native.
