Sarah Palin Only Felt Bad For Katie Couric

Attention world! Everyone's favorite ex-governor Sarah Palin will be appearing on Oprah. And as if that wasn't good enough, Fishbowl DC has released clips of the upcoming interview, including one with a startling revelation:  Palin knew the Katie Couric interview was bad for the campaign.
Oprah: Do you think that was a seminal defining moment for you, that interview?

Palin: I did not. And neither did the campaign. In fact, that is why Segment 2 and 3 and 4 and maybe 5 were scheduled. The campaign said, right on. Good. You're showing your independence. This is what America needs to see and it was a good interview. And of course I'm thinking, if you thought that was a good interview, I don't know what a bad interview is because I knew it was a bad interview.
Additionally, Sarah Palin writes in her new book about that notorious interview, saying that she felt Couric was unfortable in her new high-power journalist career and wanted to throw the poor lady a bone:
She writes that she sat down with Katie Couric in part because she felt sorry for her, after Nicolle Wallace, a McCain aide, said Ms. Couric suffered from low self-esteem.
Well, how kind of you. Too bad it was a total disaster.
