She means questions she can’t answer (which is basically any question).

@flo
They are called tough questions.

Who knew “What do you read?” Could be so scary a question…

Questions which are meant to lead her into possibly damaging answers, kind of like when lots of editing scrapes away a true meaning, and whats left makes a person look bad.
I think.

Not knowing what the Vice President does was pretty bad, especially when she was asked it again later by an elementary school student , and was still not correct.

There are legit gotcha questions which have no good answers, or force you to admit an unpopular view.

Palin is an idiot. She’s labeling normal questions as gotcha questions to reframe the discussion about her stupidity. Now she can deflect the conversation to how the media is out to get her instead of having the coverage focus on how she can’t name a newspaper she reads.
