In her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Palin said that she wasn’t expecting her now-infamous sit-down with CBS News anchor Katie Couric to be difficult — and that she didn’t do preparation for what she thought would be a “light-hearted” sit-down between two working moms.
“You do say that it wasn’t your best interview,” said Winfrey. “Were you prepped for that interview?”
“Not so much,” Palin said, “because it was supposed to be kind of a light-hearted, fun, working mom speaking with working mom, and the challenges that we have with teenage daughters. So it was supposed to be more light-hearted.”
In the actual interview, Couric asked Palin about her policies and John McCain’s policies — with the infamous moment, among others, when Palin said she would try to find examples of McCain favoring more regulation of Wall Street, and would bring those examples to Couric.
