Did Sarah Palin really say that?

Sarah Palin.

"Piper was named after Todd's airplane, the Piper Cub, which gets us to the hunting grounds. Bristol, Bristol Bay fishing grounds. Willow, a local sport-fishing stream. Trig, I pull the TRIG-ger. Track ... I remember when we told my dad that his grandson was named Track, he said, 'Like TRACKing an elephant?' "—Speaking to the annual meeting of the Safari Club International in Reno, Nev., Jan. 29, 2011.
