Blunt Aaron Sorkin is blunt.

Descriptors and titles used in this post on Palin include:

1. snotty
2. truly awful
3. heart-stoppingly disgusting
4. faux-macho shithead
5. phony pioneer girl
6. "Cruella"
7. witless bully
8. "Palin's Army of Arrogant Assholes"
9. deranged

I think it says something that Sorkin never created a character like Palin when he was doing "The West Wing."  That's because, ten years ago, even during the middle of the George W. Bush administration, someone like Sarah Palin was simply unthinkable.
