The greatly anticipated Oprah interview with Sarah Palin has just aired in the Eastern time zone. We heard a lot of advance info about it so there really aren’t any surprises. It was great to see Sarah again.
They talked about the McCain’s team handling of the pregnancy announcement, wardrobes and makeovers. Sarah says she never had a script to stay on and was not told about the campaign dropping out of Michigan.
Then there’s the infamous Couric question about reading materials. (ABC has blocked embedding) Sarah makes some poignant remarks about her and Todd’s reaction to the news of a Down Syndrome baby coming their way.
I can understand that Palin would have been annoyed at Couric’s question. There was a condescending insinuation in the very fact of asking such a question.
Palin says she does not feel to blame for losing. She wouldn’t expect credit had they won.
She speaks about aspiring porn star Levi. (For some reason this embedding is not blocked.)
Her marriage with Todd is very strong and based on equality. She says 2012 is not on the radar and dodges a question about getting a talk show by calling Oprah the queen.
I thought Oprah was aloof, but I’m not a regular viewer so maybe that’s the way she is to all her guests. I thought Sarah was a little tentative at first but settled into it. Maybe I was projecting my own feelings.
