Guns and Ammo interviews Sarah Palin about her new huntin show. Let the barely coherent BS begin.
Courtesy of Guns and Ammo:
Do you still get outdoors to hunt caribou or fish with the family?
Absolutely! The outdoors is where I thrive. Todd and I went fly-fishing in Montana last summer and caught some beautiful rainbow trout. We’re commercial fishermen in Bristol Bay, so we don’t normally play with our food. So, sport fishing on the Missouri was a blast. We also did mounted shooting while there, and Piper loved that. She was a regular Annie Oakley. And, of course, we did a lot of moose, caribou and bear hunting in Alaska this past fall to fill the freezer. My girls and I even spent a special snowy Mother’s Day target practicing and looking for bear at our cabin near Mt. McKinley.
Yes she wandered around that cabin on Safari lake, that she pays no taxes on, shooting off guns and looking for bears to kill.
Of course the cabins are near Denali park where hunting is not allowed unless for subsistence reasons, and no way does Palin qualify for that. Not to mention you have to have a registration, bear tags, and harvest tickets in order to hunt bear, and of course she has none of that either.
Just another BS story to placate the morons.
When asked about her family and hunting, this was the response:
When you’ve grown up in Alaska and raised your kids in the far North, that just comes with the territory. Dad had a bumper sticker: “Take your kids hunting so you’re not hunting for your kids.” His profound bumper art included another favorite that reads “Vegetarian is old Indian word for ‘poor shot.’” (Yeah, that joke NEVER gets old.) Mom and Dad moved our family to Alaska specifically to enjoy hunting and fishing and live a great outdoors lifestyle. It’s what we like to do.
I’m really blessed that all my kids love a rugged outdoor lifestyle. Recently, Piper jumped off a waterfall, which was a reward for babysitting her brother Trig. We also had a blast going through two seasons of “Dancing With the Stars” with Bristol. It was such the opposite of anything we had done. Bristol wanted to wear a sequined camo gown, but that didn’t fly with the producers. (Wow, when you are not even classy enough for Dancing with the Stars, that should really tell you something.) The kids have opportunities to live and work in metropolitan places like Los Angeles but my daughter Willow’s response to living elsewhere reflects all the kids’ thinking at this point in their lives: “Mom, I miss my truck!”
Yes, because as we know nobody drives a truck anywhere but Alaska.
Palin also claims that her dad gave the family firearm safety tips, which of course is why Levi had to show her how the gun under her bed worked, and why her father had to reload the rifle she used to shoot the tame, tied up caribou she murdered on her reality show.
They ask Palin what is her favorite caliber of weapon, which is apparently a question of interest for these people, and she answers that it is a .22 caliber, which of course has no kick and if she fired it at a bear it would only make it kill her faster.
The entire interview is made up of the same family mythology and tired talking points that Palin has been using for years now. The only notable feature is that she did not have the opportunity to slam the President or insult liberals, though she did sneak in a reference to Ronald Reagan.
Well somebody's getting sloppy now aren't they?
