Does Sarah Palin Really Hunt?
Vanity Fair Article Calls Hunting Claims Into Question

NEW YORK -- It's one of Sarah Palin's claims to fame -- her reputation as a moose and caribou hunter.

But a magazine article published this week is challenging those claims.

Citing an unnamed longtime friend of the Palins, Vanity Fair's Michael Gross wrote the whole hunting thing is a big farce.

"That woman has never hunted," the friend said in the article. "The picture of her with the caribou she says she shot? She got out of the RV to pose for a picture. She never helps with the fishing either. It's all a joke."

Palin shot back on Sean Hannity's radio show.

"Impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them," she said.

The 18-page piece also cites unnamed sources in alleging Palin is a terrible tipper and has a bad temper.

"As soon as she enters her property and the door closes, even the insects in that house cringe," one friend said. "She has a horrible temper, but she has gotten away with it because she is a pretty woman."
