Sarah Palin Airs Her Opinions About Katie Couric and Tina Fey




Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos,


Even though she walked away as one of the biggest names of 2008, isn’t exactly pleased with those who became famous along with her. In an interview for a documentary called Media Malpractice, the Alaska governor said she found it interesting how others benefitted from her campaign run.

“I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen. I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don’t know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration — that’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.”

Unfortunately for Palin, that damaging interview with Couric was apparently beyond her control. “I knew it didn’t go well the first day, and then we gave her a couple of other segments after that,” Palin stated. “And my question to the campaign was, after it didn’t go well the first day…why were we going to go back for more?” (Maybe because they hoped she would improve?) Later, after seeing the CBS news anchor ponder why other interviewers didn’t follow up on the now-famous magazine question, Sarah bitterly responded: “Because Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe. Maybe that’s why they didn’t think to ask that question.”

But what did the former VP candidate think of - a show she chose to participate on? Although she admittedly wasn’t aware of Fey’s marriage joke (“I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers”) prior to her stint, Palin said she would have still agreed to her appearance. “You have to be able to laugh at yourself also,” she explained. (NOTE TO SELF: Using a comedy sketch for last-minute votes isn’t considered exploitation.)
