In a rare interview with lamestream media outlet ABC, Sarah Palin sat down with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts Friday to talk about taxes, government gettin' outta the way, Barack Obama flip floppin' and all sortsa other stuff.
She also took a shot (not literally) at Aaron Sorkin.
Animal rights activist group PETA called Palin out after she shot a caribou on her TLC show, Sarah Palin's Alaska, but she says at least that could be sincere.
Sorkin calling her a witless bully, comparing her to Michael Vick and saying she killed the animal for political gain, on the other hand, has her all fired up.
Sarah Palin responded to Sorkin’s statement, telling Roberts that “We eat, therefore we hunt - and I am thankful that I get to feed my kids organic food.”
“He's got some of those high powered rifles in some of his movies and TV shows though. I think those are aimed at human beings. Mine is aimed at dinner."
Of her critics, she says, “If they don’t wear leather shoes and a belt and drive a car with leather seats and they eat no meat, then they have somethin’ to say."
"And I can listen to them when they say, ‘How dare you kill an animal to feed a family?’ because they don’t participate in that. At least they’re sincere about it."
“I’d say 99% of the critics, you know, they’re wearin’ leather belts and they’re eatin’ their hamburgers - and they’re gonna tell me it’s immoral or not the right thing to do to go out and actually harvest that resource, that piece of protein myself?”
There you have it, folks. Aaron Sorkin? Owned.
Sarah Palin's Alaska: Renewed For Season 2?
Is TLC already hankering for a second dose of Sarah Palin's Alaska?
For the network, strong ratings - supplemented by the buzz created by Sarah's show-related squabbles with Michelle Obama and PETA - make the case.
"3.066 million people turned in last week to see her episode with Kate Gosselin," a TLC insider says. "That's more than are watching Bravo's Housewives."
"The network is doing everything it possibly can to convince Sarah to do another season, but at the end of the day it will all come down to the money."
Sarah, who is reportedly making more than $250,000 per episode for the eight-week series, started talking new deal immediately after the premiere.
"Sarah knows to strike when the iron is hot and started talking about season two right after the show debuted to huge numbers," a friend of Sarah said.
"She knows celebs get millions per episode and thinks she's worth it. Jennifer Aniston made millions from Friends. In Sarah's eyes, she's no different."
Maybe she and Kate Gosselin have more in common than they think. They may come from different worlds, but self-love unites them for all eternity.
Friends drew more than three million viewers, but Palin may not be too far off in seeking a raise. Think about how much caribou meat that can buy ...
