Throughout the bus tour, Sarah Palin has refused to make details available much in advance for the media โ€” but sheโ€™s also taken the time to talk to many of the reporters who have managed to follow her. One question that Palin didnโ€™t 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 โ€œOne Nation Tourโ€ has cost four days into the trip, she got visibly irritated.
โ€œCheck SarahPAC.com,โ€ she said. โ€œI donโ€™t know why in the world you would ask a question like that. Iโ€™m just thinking about America and our foundations and our freedoms and our opportunities. Why would you ask something โ€ฆโ€
ABC News pointed out that she often talks about the economy and how much money weโ€™re spending.
โ€œWhat does our economy have to do with how much weโ€™re โ€” Iโ€™m 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 reporterโ€™s questions. On Tuesday, she posted her thoughts about some of her interaction with media on the trip:

Itโ€™s interesting when (for the 100th time) reporters shout out, โ€œWhy are you traveling to historical sites? What are you trying to accomplish?โ€ I repeat my answer, โ€œItโ€™s so important for Americans to learn about our past so we can clearly see our way forward in challenging times; so, weโ€™re bringing attention to our great nationโ€™s foundation.โ€ When that answer isnโ€™t what the reporters want to hear, weโ€™ve asked them if theyโ€™ve ever visited these sites like the National Archives, Gettysburg, etc. When they confirm that they havenโ€™t, itโ€™s good to say, โ€œWell, there you go. Youโ€™ll learn a lot about America today.โ€ (They usually donโ€™t want to hear that either!)
