Sarah Palin's Reading Material Is Off Limits!

 

KING: Should you have not done the Katie Couric interview?

PALIN: Sure, I should have done the Katie Couric interview. Her questions were fair...

KING: You should have done it?

PALIN: I should have done it, yes. And her questions were fair. Obviously, being a bit annoyed with some of the questions, my annoyance shows through. And I am who I am, though, and I call it like I see it. And some of those questions, you know, regarding what do I read up in Alaska, were, to me, a bit irrelevant. And my annoyance at those questions showed through.

The Woman Who Wouldn't Go Away

 

 

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lost no time getting down to work upon her return to gubernatorial duties, despite the distractions of having to cook meals for television reporters interviewing her. Job One: counteracting the effects of plummeting oil prices on state coffers.

A die-hard Democrat in town got this note last week from the governor:

"Dear Neighbor," it began. "As Governor of Alaska, I am pleased to tell you about a very special offer: now you can receive an official Alaska travel guide -- absolutely FREE."
