According to New York Times blog The Caucus, Sarah Palin finally took questions from reporters on the plane.

During the Q & A, she blasted Obama for his association with Bill Ayers. The Caucus provides no indication that any of the reporters asked her to square her comments about Obama and Ayers with John McCain's relationship with Gordon Liddy. (Or her own connections to the Alaska Independence Party, for that matter.)

Instead, Palin got this question:

And she was asked if she would like to make an appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” to answer back to Tina Fey's parody of her.

“I would love to,” she said.

After weeks of waiting for a chance to ask Palin a question, that's what the press corps came up with? “Would you like to be on Saturday Night Live?”
