I hear that the President has already called to congratulate her. Here’s a rush transcript of the conversation: “You didn’t do that! You may be thinkin’ ‘I worked harder than everyone else’ but there are lots of hard workin’ Olympians out there. You didn’t do that.”

I have always been a little irritated that the media ignored her accomplishments.

That's because guns are icky.

If Palin had decided to enter this event, she would have won easily. (/sarcasm)

All METALS are made in China, aren’t they? They certainly can’t be made here. We’re not allowed to scar the Earff here in ‘Murica.

Commercial TV Networks in the U.S.A. have not ever reported Olympic firearms sport results, as such. Firearm proficiency as part of a combined event (i.e., triathlon) has been reported, albeit likely with a twinge of pain.

I'm disappointed they haven't made Skeet Surfing an official Olympic Sport, yet.

I'm not entirely sure why, but that made me literally LOL. :)

——All of them. Even the ones she misses still commit suicide because they don’t know how to land.

Jeb Clampet, Beverly Hillbillies guy, had a recipe for skeets, as I recall.

How many innocent clay pigeons had to die for her to win her gold medal?

99 out of 100.

Actually, all 100. She just didn't hit one of them.

“attack..... brought on the most casualties in American history”

Ah, NO, not true, Pearl Harbor, civil war battles, 911, I would include the massacres enabled by Fast & Furious in that tally, among others.

The oh so sensitive author of this tripe is a twit.

I thought about that, and then as I typed from my naugahyde sofa, I also pondered how many poor innocent naughas had to die to make this sofa...and being the “evil Freeper I am”, I just laughed, and laughed, and laughed....

Save the skeets! Preserve skeet habitat.

Heck no! My two favorite pastimes are hunting snipe and skeet. I love snipe stew with just a dash of paprika. And my all time favorite meal is lobster Thermidor au Crevette with a Mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and skeet.

I confess to having hunted skeet myself this past weekend. But I did it responsibly: I left the hens alone.
