(Newser Summary) – Sarah Palin surprised reporters yesterday by coming to the back of her campaign plane to take questions from the press corps for the first time ever, Fox News reports. The candidate spoke in her trademark rambling style for nearly 15 minutes aboard what reporters had dubbed the "No-Talk Express." Palin addressed the Troopergate scandal and defended linking Barack Obama to political radical Bill Ayers.
Palin said her focus on the Ayers connection was relevant in light of the economic crisis because it raised questions about the candidate's "forthrightedness" on the issues. Palin told reporters she'd love to appear on Saturday Night Live to give Tina Fey a taste of her own medicine. "I love her. She’s a hoot," said Palin. Sources: Fox News, CBS News
It makes you wonder about the forthrightedness, the truthfulness of the plans that he is telling America in regards to the economic recovery because that is first and foremost on Americans’ minds. - Sarah Palin on Obama and Bill Ayers
I've been in an underdog position quite often in my life and so has John McCain and we both have come out victoriously coming from that underdog position. - Sarah Palin
