Palin takes first impromptu question from national press
Posted: 03:55 PM ET

From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CNN) — Sarah Palin took her first impromptu question from a reporter traveling with her campaign Wednesday while shaking hands at a restaurant called Karl's Inn of the Barristers in Cleveland.

A pool reporter from the national press corps asked Palin's reaction to the federal bailout of insurance giant AIG.

Palin said she is "disappointed that taxpayers are called upon to bailout another one."

"Certainly AIG, though, with the construction bonds that they're holding, and with the insurance that they are holding, very, very impactful to Americans," she said. "So you know, the shot that has been called by the feds, its understandable but very, very disappointing that taxpayers are called upon for another one."

The reporter asked Palin if she had plans to come to the back of the campaign plane to chat with the reporters who cover her as she campaigns around the country.

"We're getting lonely back there," the reporter said.

"Are you getting lonely?," Palin answered. "Gee, yeah, come on up then!"

When Palin entered the restaurant with her husband Todd, she introduced herself to about 10 patrons as "Sarah," and told them, "Excuse me for interrupting your meal." It was Palin's first retail campaign stop since the day McCain tapped her as his running mate.

5. Is she stupid?

Yeah, she is. She didn't know that this is a loan at 11% Interest that must be paid back.

6. Uh, oh

The flashing red lights must be on at RNC headquarters - "Mayday, Mayday, Broken Arrow - Palin is on the loose. I repeat - Palin is on the loose."

7. IMPACTFUL??? Did she actually say "IMPACTFUL"????

Such an ignorant, uneducated wannabe using made-up vocabulary that she thinks will make her sound smart. Of course, there are lots of folks who will eagerly swallow this tripe. And it's not just "impactful", it's "very, very impactful". What a total twit. She should get a real job selling timeshares.

9. I was just going to post this. Good thing I'm an exemplary DUer and I checked

10. Impromptu my ass. It was almost certainly a planted question given

the extent to which Palin has been controlled and managed by the McCain campaign. And now the McCain campaign even has taken over reshaping Palin's image. She would not comment without permission and permission would not be given unless the question was known in advance so that she could use some prepared "verbiage."
