I heard that Sarah once fed a stray cat. TooTall on September 9, 2008 at 6:27 PM No, she once fried a stray cat. Just kidding. Love you, Sarah. Actually, I have two cats - well, actually, my wife and daughter have two cats. Not my choice (emasculated male hangs head in shame). I contend that's one-and-a-half cats too many. Brace yourself for the next big expose. I heard that Sarah once fed a stray cat.

If someone has a recording of this, I think everyone would want to see it. Of course, MSNBC gets themselves off the hook with the "Washington Post reports". Of course that did not keep them from expanding on the theme. After what AllahPundit has said on this (and I don't think he is really a Palin supporter) the MSNBC report is typically represensive.
