Mike Allen on MSNBC, describing the circumstances of his interview with Sarah Palin:

“I somehow woke up to my phone, and it was one of her aides, who said ”if we put Governor Palin on the phone, will you only ask her two questions?' And I said, 'Sure.' And so I was so sleepy that, after she answered the one about the divorce, I forgot what the other thing was that I was allowed to ask her, and she said 'Just go ahead, ask me anything you want.'"

Wait: Mike Allen not only agreed to ask only two questions -- he was only “allowed” to ask about certain topics?

Don't tell Dana Milbank.
