Sarah Palin was in Reno yesterday trying to draw publicity for herself and for the Safari Club, which invited her to its convention:

During a 40-minute speech, she talked of her love for the outdoors and the “delicate balance” between hunting and fishing and the outdoors.

“... I personally understand the importance of protecting the environment,” she said.
Hunting and fishing, Palin said, are part of America’s “heritage” and the country’s “exceptionalism.”

“Don’t retreat, stand tall,” Palin told the crowd as she emphasized the importance of “responsible conservation.”

In other words, she told them what they wanted to hear.
