At the age of 10, Sarah Palin got her very own bunny rabbit. Which means to say that she crouched down in the grass outside her family home, aimed her shotgun and blew its furry little head off.

Blew its furry little head off. Blew its furry little head off. Not to paint a picture, or anything. And can I say how unlikely it is that she was using a shotgun to hunt rabbits? At her age, we used .22 rifles.
