Look, we've had our disagreements on whether the hockey-centric details of Gov. Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy belong on this blog or do not. But wicked satire cuts across partisan lines, whether it's "Dr. Strangelove" or "Primary Colors."

We're not saying this CollegeHumor.com movie trailer parody is on that level of informed political insight. But if a line like "well, I have to pick up Algebra at hockey practice and I've got a lasagna in the oven" can't earn at least a grin in these maudlin times, what can?

Here's a screencap:

Video follows after the jump.

Behold "Head of Skate," a Disney comedy we'll hopefully never see. Remember folks: Betty Norendorf puts the "ice" in vice president.

(NOTE: We were having some trouble loading this, but others said it's working fine. Direct link to the video is here.)

We actually have a rooting interest here: If Sarah Palin is the vice president, then there's a chance we could one day have the second most powerful person in Washington (based on line of succession) give us Five Ways She'd Change the NHL.

Or, at the very least, we could have her provide expert analysis of the impending threat of the KHL, based on geographic osmosis. One of the two.

Hilarious video. Somehow they left out her using her position to take revenge on people who she viewed as wronging her or her family, as she did with her governership.

The vice presidential debate should be held at a hockey rink with both candidates wearing gloves. Don Kohorski could mediate.

ENOUGH PALIN ALREADY.
(Actually, that was pretty funny. "From the makers of 'Mighty Ducks' and 'Syrianna'.")
BUT ENOUGH POLITICS OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GAMES TO START

Hey Michigander you might want to point of the fact that the person she fired was insubordinate and tried to change the budget without approval, and that the cop that was fired tazered a 10-year and drink on the job. But why mess with minor details like the facts.

Doug F,
I am sure you mean minor facts like the fact that building the "bridge to nowhere" was actually one of her campaign promises? Or that she gave up on it when informed by congress that they were going to pull the plug and now claims she told congress "no thanks"? Or that she has long been a firm advocate of teaching abstinence over safe sex and ended up with a pregnant teen over it? Or that the insubordination of the department head was directly tied to his not firing someone just because she had a grudge?
Are those enough minor facts?

You pucked with the wrong ice-president. Loved it. As for the politics...blah...blah...blah campaining is like wooing a woman,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,tell um what they wanna hear. Neither one of the two are going to do what they say. If your man wins, prepare to be disappointed, If he loses, you can say " I told you so".
Now...more hockey. Less politics.

For Gov. Pailin, there are bridges and hockey mom to nowhere... because she has no bridge to cross to her victory on this coming Nov. 4/08 election day?? Sen. McCain has chosen a wrong VP candidate as he has been wrongly supporting the 2 Bush's administration in Wash DC during the past 26 yearsl... Pailin's mouse hunting, mayor of little town and governor of a little state of Alaska won't help her much... plus her lack of knowledge, experience and skills in the US domestic and foreign affairs and tones of other issues and problems facing the US and the world today... The most American voters are very smart, practical and realistic people and they know how to elect their president and vice president for a change and for the revival of pwerful US for the better USA and for the protection and modernizing the peaceful and democratic world as a whole for many years to come. There is no vote buying in the US not like in the other nations...

Hey bob, remind the community activist that too! He has the same things that you are using for him, and a reminder, your "greatest president ever" was a governor of a smaller state with no experience ALSO! Sorry, to post this,but needs to be popped every time it shows up.

Sarah Palin is a barbie doll. I can't wait for the debate with Biden on Thursday. What a shame John Mcain. He wants to win using foxy tricks. Lies and looks you in the eye, This has been the most most interesting campaign to watch, seems like a movie.

Sarah Palin just thinks US VP position is another hockey game. Far from that. dunno how many achievements she can boast of apart from selling glasses and sending more dump women to hairdressers for a new hairdo. This isn't about beauty tips. it's about brains. I don't care what she thinks of Barrack Obama but I'd rather have her focus on her family challenges than come in to make America worse than it already is. As for McCain, Jay Leno already made it pretty clear that the Yankees Stadium is closing up and so is it time for McCain to fold up and prepare for the nursing home. Just because he served America as war veteran does he have to REWARDED with the Presidency. It's time Americans open their eyes and vote for the right persons. Failure to do so would lead America to the worst crisis ever and who knows what that would be? It's written in bold on the wall. Time for real change is now or never. America, focus!!! U don't need Sarah Palin's glasses to really see through to reality.

McCain, thanks for serving America but if you truly love America, please, resign and admit it that you can't handle what's coming ahead. Sarah isn't the right head-support for you either or perhaps he's just looking for a new girlfriend. Lol! Remember how he dumped his sick wife and married before even getting officially divorced? If I were Sarah's husband, I'd think twice about this fairy tale First Dude position that just fell from nowhere like manna from heaven. Don't u agree guys?
