Sarah Palin Book, TV Show, Not Sighted In Correctly

by Abe Sauer

On Monday, I offered some obvious questions about how Sarah Palin’s claims about her hunting experience did not appear to be reinforced by her actual hunting during the latest episode of “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.” There’s a picture and passage from her latest book, “America by Heart,” that only raises more questions.

This photo is accompanied by a caption:

“My Dad and I visit with our buddies, the Wallis family, at their locally owned sporting goods store, Chimo Guns. The guys at this Wasilla establishment gave me good advice on firepower before my fall caribou hunt in September 2010. And it worked! I filled half the freezer with wild game a few weeks after this visit.”

Those who watched the episode will remember Palin’s dad picking out the “varmint gun” for “my daughter Sarah Palin.” So exactly what advice did the Wallis family at Chimo Guns give Palin that “worked?”
