| #15 TW: See, this is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about the other day. Snowy Thing, do you mean Mr. Sorkin or Black Charlie Chinemble5313? And yes, you did -- very helpfully both times. Old Spook, it isn't only Conservatives, or even conservatives, who like Sarah Palin. Plenty of registered Democrats hunt, and some Conservatives don't like her. Black Charlie Chinemble5313 claims to be a Los Angeles Republican. |

| #14 Just a point of order: Caribou Medallions in Saskatoon Berry Sauce beats Manna from Heaven any day of the year. |

| #13 Maybe Sorkin is religious? Who would have guessed? |

| #12 Catholic nit-pickWell, its not that you must eat fish on Friday, its that you are supposed to abstain from meat (beef, chicken, pork) on Friday as a measure of sacrifice. And BCC is getting as bad as that retard Andrew Sullivan with his obsession wiht Sarah Palin and his slagging her every time someone says anything about her. BCC is not only an ass, he is a boring ass. Conservatives don't need anyone like him around, he is likely part of the problem as far that goes - another high society twit or else an establishment ass kisser. |

| #11 Thats the kicker there P2K, it was a caribou. Nice to see our young mccain, or just simple provincial, not realize it is quite Scandanivian. |

| #10 TW: See, this is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about the other day. This guy isn't going to go to a working class guy up in upstate NY or Pennsylvania who goes hunting a couple times a year and tell him all about how he's Being Cruel To Animals, but he will berate "That Dumbass _____ Sarah Palin" for essentially doing what they're doing. He doesn't have to deal with the fact that he's attacking the majority in this country that eats meat (horrors!) if he personalizes his argument sufficiently. I have a gyro plate from a local quick stop over on the table in my office; I'm nibbling on it now because I didn't get a chance to stop and eat until 3:30 or so. Only real difference between Sarah Palin and me? I outsourced the killing and butchering of the animal. I'm reminded of Medieval Japan's peculiar interpretation of vegetarianism, where butchers were considered to be unclean scum and Samurai who ate steak, "Well, gee, Samurai-San, that sword looks sharp, so I'm going to say you're mighty virtuous today, and that's really my opinion and not based on any hope that you're not going to decapitate me." What Mr. Sorkin has is a religious preference, IMHO. It's the equivalent of me thinking everyone else on the planet is wicked for not eating fish on Fridays. It's a stupid argument, but he doesn't have to make it if he personalizes it sufficiently. |

| #9 It is typical though of Sarah to not realize she will not be obtaining votes by cutting off Rudolph's legs with a knife in front of an audience. Go get 'um Sarah. LOL. Black Charlie Chinemble5313, the people who would get upset about Sarah field-dressing a large, dead animal already disliked her shoes, her voice, her working her way through college, the number of children she bore, etc. and so forth ad infinitum. The rest of the universe either doesn't care or admires her for it. |

| #8 Got a feeling Palin could bitch slap Sorkin around until he wet his pants. |

| #7 Aaron Sorkin who's hobby includes subsidizing the drug cartels and their body count and misery south of the border? Better a moose dead than the men, women, and children his providers have butchered. |

| #6 He said it was a moose...west wing creator...movie about facebook...yeah no wonder nobody knows who he is, he is an idiot. Check to his babysitter must have bounced. Anybody tell him that there is a 24/7 basic channel which shows people hunting? Those survival shows? Why mad now? And by the way - eating is the final step (other than pooping) in the edible aspect of the hunt (the other being product such as tee pee, bladders, or fancy leather shoes). I find it unfortunate that when people are at the grocery store or ordering at a resteraunt they forget they are the tail end of a very long process, starting with the animal being born and in that process, the kill. There are laws for hunting. Break them and get in big time trouble. And you know, there is even a tv show about that. He, and many of the common tators at the link, must have a grand time bee-bopping about life with, uhumm, those kind of people doing all the dirty work so that elitists can sip coffee with clean fingernails and smug colored comments. Likely mad there are more people who didn't watch Palin's show but knew about it, then people watching his show at peak interest. I had to look it up to see who was in it. |

| #5 I have no problem with people who hunt. It is typical though of Sarah to not realize she will not be obtaining votes by cutting off Rudolph's legs with a knife in front of an audience. Go get 'um Sarah. LOL. |

| #4 He's probably never been driving 70mph in his BMW and had a 160lb buck nearly go through his windscreen. |

| #3 Wonder if Sorkin has a problem with fishing shows, or if he draws the line at mammals and of course hating Palin. |
