Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin repeatedly failed to cite a newspaper or magazine when asked what she had read regularly before John McCain picked her as his running mate, saying only that she had read "most of them."
Palin also said that she doesn't believe that the media's coverage of her has been sexist. "It would be sexist if the media were to hold back and not ask me about my experience, my vision, my principles, my values," said Palin, Alaska's governor.
In an interview aired Tuesday on "The CBS Evening News," anchor Katie Couric asked Palin what publications she had read to stay informed and to understand the world.
"I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media," Palin replied. Asked for examples, she said, "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."
Asked again for an example, Palin told Couric: "I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, 'Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?' Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America."

"Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."
Best Sarah Paline quote I've found so far. "Um, all of them, especially the ones with the pictures of animals, and I like dolphins too, and... oh wait, 'Hunters Digest' is a good one! Oh, and our economy is based on getting more jobs and more people writing magazines, and, you know, believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America. You know?" Re: Re: Sarah Palin: News junkie

I suspect your version is fabricated, but the eerie thing is its plausibility. :)
