Please, ma'am, may I have another?

CNN:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin took four questions from her traveling press corps Thursday, the first time she has taken any from them since being tapped as Sen. John McCain's running mate.

I don't begrudge the press corps their paychecks, which must be pretty good to justify the debasement of their profession that's become a hallmark of the McCain-Palin campaign. Still, there must be a limit to what they'll take.

Are four questions more like another cup of gruel or thirty pieces of silver?
