Aaron Sorkin, a creator of the hit television series The West Wing and the screenwriter of the recent film The Social Network, tore into Sarah Palin in a scathing Huffington Post blog Wednesday, labeling Palin's new Learning Channel reality show a "snuff film."

The hit writer also tore into Palin personally, dubbing her a "phony pioneer girl" and calling her "deranged." He also said, "The Learning Channel should be ashamed of itself."

Palin shot a caribou to death in an episode of "Sarah Palin's Alaska" this week, after missing it five times with a telescopic rifle, and is shown skinning the animal and freezing it. After shooting the animal, Palin appears "proudly smiling for the camera, crouching beside her kill," according to an entertainment website.

Sorkin's remarks came in response to a Palin Facebook posting, in which she said, "Unless you've never worn leather shoes, sat upon a leather chair or eaten meat, save your condemnation." The posting appeared to pre-empt expected criticism of the show, as it was posted before the show aired.

Sorkin's response? "You're right, Sarah, we'll all just go fuck ourselves now."

5. LOL...

"I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree."

I think this quote is right up there with GW's, "Is are children learning." On my worst day I couldn't come up with the kind of word salad she blurts out - can you imagine what it sounds like in her head before she's processed it for speech?

A greatly underrated sitcom. This latest comment on caribou barbie only makes me like Aaron Sorkin even more.
