Moose hunter Palin draws U.S. comedians' fire

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The hunter is becoming the hunted.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's colorful life story as an
avid hunter and "hockey mom" is quickly turning the little-known Alaska
governor into a juicy target for late-night U.S. television talk-show hosts.

Just days after Arizona Sen. John McCain tapped her as his surprise
running mate, the comedians were poking fun at her complicated family
life.

Palin's 17-year-old unmarried daughter is pregnant, and the governor is
under investigation for firing an underling who refused to dismiss a state
trooper going through a messy divorce from Palin's sister.

"The Palin family crisis that we were talking about on Sunday and Monday
has been solved now, and today the baby is being adopted by Angelina
Jolie," CBS "Late Show" host David Letterman deadpanned on Tuesday.

Palin offers a rich melange of fresh material just when age jokes about
Obama's Republican rival, McCain -- who at 72 would be the oldest first-
term president -- are starting to wear thin.

"You could get a vaudevillian troupe, and they could do two hours of stuff
that's already written and circulated about her," said Robert
Thompson, a media and pop culture scholar at Syracuse University.

Jay Leno, star of NBC's "The Tonight Show," put his spin on Palin's
daughter's pregnancy, joking: "Apparently she told McCain this a
week ago, but what happened was that she said it into his bad ear."
