Palin Hits Back Against Couric

Too bad she didn't hit back at Couric during the campaign. That interview was a real ambush and it made her look like a dope.

Asked if she prepared for the interview with Couric, Palin said “not so much, but it was supposed to be a light-hearted thing.”

“After the first segment, it didn’t go well. It didn’t go very well, I was annoyed by her badgering,” Palin said.

The former Alaska governor accused Couric of trying to trap her on the issue of abortion, asking her “12 different times on my position on abortion and the morning after pill.”

Palin also said she grew annoyed by Couric’s presence at campaign rallies. After one particular rally when she left the rope line “fired up,” Palin recalled that she turned around to see Couric and thought, “There is the perky one again with the microphone.”

Palin indicated that she was offended when Couric asked her what newspapers and magazines she reads, saying that she took the question “in the context of ‘do you read?’”

“Obviously I have over the course of my life,” Palin said. “I’m a lover of books and magazines and newspapers.”
