“You enjoy killing animals. I can make the distinction between the two of us but I’ve tried and tried and for the life of me, I can’t make a distinction between what you get paid to do and what Michael Vick went to prison for doing.”
— Liberal Writer Aaron Sorkin on Sarah Palin
Hollywood leftist Aaron Sorkin attacked Sarah Palin this week for hunting and eating caribou in Alaska. Sorkin compared her to Michael Vick.
Today Sarah Palin answered.
The former governor told the AP, “I didn’t know anyone ate dogs, tanned the hides, and made boots out of them.”
Sorkin, who wrote the script for “The Social Network,” said in an article for The Huffington Post that Palin didn’t kill the caribou for food, just for fun.
He said he couldn’t distinguish between that and Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Michael Vick’s role in a dogfighting ring, for which he spent 18 months in prison.
“So a leftwing Hollywood producer thinks there is no ‘distinction’ between harvesting healthy, wild organic protein to feed my family and engaging in dog fighting?” Palin said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “I didn’t know anyone ate dogs, tanned the hides, and made boots out of them.”
