Throughout the bus tour, Sarah Palin has refused to make details available much in advance for the media โ but sheโs also taken the time to talk to many of the reporters who have managed to follow her. One question that Palin didnโt appear to like came from ABC, which had just asked her who was paying for the trip (Answer: SarahPAC):
When asked, twice, how much her โOne Nation Tourโ has cost four days into the trip, she got visibly irritated.
โCheck SarahPAC.com,โ she said. โI donโt know why in the world you would ask a question like that. Iโm just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities. Why would you ask something โฆโ
ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money weโre spending.
โWhat does our economy have to do with how much weโre โ Iโm not asking you to pay for a penny of this trip,โ she said.
Palin also seems frustrated by the repetitive nature of so many reporterโs questions. On Tuesday, she posted her thoughts about some of her interaction with media on the trip:
Itโs interesting when (for the 100th time) reporters shout out, โWhy are you traveling to historical sites? What are you trying to accomplish?โ I repeat my answer, โItโs so important for Americans to learn about our past so we can clearly see our way forward in challenging times; so, weโre bringing attention to our great nationโs foundation.โ When that answer isnโt what the reporters want to hear, weโve asked them if theyโve ever visited these sites like the National Archives, Gettysburg, etc. When they confirm that they havenโt, itโs good to say, โWell, there you go. Youโll learn a lot about America today.โ (They usually donโt want to hear that either!)
