Mr. Sorkin is a talented writer. However he does not show that talent in the article he wrote for the Huffington Post. Instead, he shows his over the top hatred for Palin that many on the left seem to embrace. He not only openly displays his hatred for Palin, but for the millions of men and women who participate in hunting and lean both to the right and the left.
His outright disdain for middle American is quite evident in this article. Aaron Sorkin is arrogant and his arrogance will only push those that love to hunt more to the right and in the end this will be to Sarah Palin’s advantage. Sorkin’s statements in this article are obviously bias because of his political views and I for one am tired of it.
Sorkin’s agenda is obvious. He is using his celebrity to trash a woman because her political affiliation is different from his own. How do you feel about celebrities who do this?
Aaron Sorkin has always hated anyone with views to the right of him. You only had to watch West Wing for one show to realize that. Sarah Palin could be videotaped walking on water and Sorkin would write a story with the headline; “Palin Can’t Swim”.
He is irrelevant and unimportant.
Unimportant to us…but important to a number of people.
Does anyone think Sarah Palin would get the nod to run again? I really have my doubts that this will happen, but one never knows.
I don’t know if she will run but it is fun watching peoples heads blow up when it comes to her !
Snicker,
I don’t believe so.
I disagree Stu. I don’t think Sorkin will make or break Palin’s popularity. You give him too much credit. I loved West Wing but did get tired of the jabs constantly taken at the Republican Party’s expense. Same with Law and Order.
Not sure if Sorkin will benefit Sarah Palin’s political career or not but his Huff Post piece was foolish and utterly failed to make a sound argument for why it is ok for Aaron to eat meat and wear animals, but Sarah is reprehensible for filming the killing of a caribou.

Apparently, Sorkin’s piece has raised many eyebrows. Another blogger, Pandora Young, published this great retort:
That you would prefer an underpaid factory worker kill your dinner for you instead of doing it yourself does not make you morally superior to Sarah Palin. Killing an animal to eat is not a “Lottery-from-hell,” it’s the food chain. That you can choose to participate in the food chain without getting your hands dirty speaks not to your ethics, but to your financial privilege. No, wealthy Sarah Palin doesn’t have to kill her own food in order to eat — but millions of people do.
I don’t think Sorkin himself will push Palin to the forefront but all those like him might. Like I said I love the over the top hatred.
You only had to watch West Wing for one show to realize that. Sarah Palin could be videotaped walking on water and Sorkin would write a story with the headline; “Palin Can’t Swim”.
I can’t stop laughing Jeff!
My mom plucked and cleaned the chickens her father killed for their Sunday dinner as a girl. She didn’t enjoy it, but it was part of their poverty. They couldn’t afford to have someone else do it, and as it happened, she ate the freshest meat on the block.
I worked in rural PA two decades ago, where the children all learned to hunt and ate what they killed. I admired them and still do. I can’t stand disdain for people who do things differently.
I don’t think Sarah Palin will ever run again, not now that she has a reality show. She doesn’t seem Presidential to me because of it.
A poll came out in our State Paper today, 7 of out 10 would not vote for Palin. I don’t think she will run, quitting an elected job in her state would do major damage to her commitment to the job.
