New York, Sep 03 (ANI): Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has lashed out at reporters who write about her using anonymous sources, branding them 'impotent' and 'whack. '

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee made the remarks in an appearance on Sean Hannity's WABC radio show.

In response to a question about an upcoming trip to Iowa on Septmber 17, Palin singled out a piece in CQ Politics which reported that Palin had asked for an opportunity to speak in the Hawkeye state, instead of being invited to speak.

I did see a headline on CQ Politics and they're way whack, saying that I asked for an opportunity to speak in Iowa... You idiot reporter! why can't you follow up with a fact, like asking really? Who did she ask?... Certainly evidence of how whack reporters are today, the New York Post quoted her as saying. (ANI)
