Aaron Sorkin, writer and producer with credits like “The West Wing” and “A Few Good Men” under his belt, wrote an editorial in the Huffington Post decrying Sarah Palin‘s caribou killing on her TLC show “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”

Sorkin, a meat eater, said there’s a difference between killing animals for food and doing so for sport, which he accused Palin of doing. Palin has since fired back in an email to the Associated Press.

He said:

“I’m able to make a distinction between you and me without feeling the least bit hypocritical. I don’t watch snuff films and you make them. You weren’t killing that animal for food or shelter or even fashion, you were killing it for fun. 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. I’m able to make the distinction with no pangs of hypocrisy even though I get happy every time one of you faux-macho shitheads accidentally shoots another one of you in the face.”

Read Palin’s response below.

She said:

“So a left-wing Hollywood producer thinks there is no ‘distinction’ between harvesting healthy, wild organic protein to feed my family and engaging in dog fighting? I didn’t know anyone ate dogs, tanned the hides, and made boots out of them.”

Well, well, well. Things are starting to get nasty.

Sorkin made a good point in his argument, but so did Palin. Rudolph was not factory farmed. Most meat Sorkin continues to eat probably is. He sure would be able to stick it to Palin harder if he mentioned he’s trying to reduce his meat intake and taking up Meatless Monday.
