The Hokey Mom.
hok·ey/ˈhoʊki/[hoh-kee]
–adjective hok·i·er, hok·i·est.

1. obviously contrived, esp. to win popular appeal or support; phony.

Yep, sounds about right to me...

Ahhh....thanks for that explanation! I was thinking it was the equivalent of a soccer mom but just a different sport! I've been a soccer mom, basektball mom, softball mom, baseball mom and football mom, but never a hockey mom!

Yes. I mean WTH is he doing pussyfooting around with silly issues like the economy and thousands dying in the Middle East? He's just avoiding the Animal Rights Issue. Out of fear.

Hit that one right out of the ballkpark, runnswithscissors. Keep running, hon.

No, because her speech last night was full of rhetoric and canned reaction lines.

Do you have something against people from the Bronx and New York? You know us folks in the "elite East." I could have sworn it was 1999 last night, the way repubs were riling up their base with all this the establishment is against us nonsense.

OK cool. We have women haters, pit bull haters and now hockey mom haters.

The Democrats really know how to love America allright. Just like the Messiah granny under the bus to voice a hateful comment like "typical white woman".

You all deserve each other, collective phonies. The only thing you like is BIG GOVERNMENT so all your B.S. public programs can be overfunded and keep you all in political jobs and keep your demographic with free government money.

Ask OBAMA about sports. He can tell you all about Basketball. Especially his workout in Germany instead of visiting the troops in the hospital alone and with some humility. I guess the irony of HIM with injured TROOPS was too much to handle without a teleprompter and press photos.

The vast majority of Americans don't care about hockey. I don't care that she's a hockey mom. Quite frankly, I don't care much about her family. I want to know why I should feel comfortable having her one heartbeat away from the presidency in these times. I'm still waiting for my answer.
