Is it Okay to Like Sarah Palin Again? Palin - finally! - talks about how she was exploited, upbraids Katie Couric, and more. And we kind of love her for it. Is this wrong?

Sarah Palin's new interview has the former Veep candidate taking everyone to task for what went down leading up to the election.

 

We've been waiting for this for so long, and it's finally happening: Sarah Palin was only minimally, sporadically rankled in the weeks following the election, but now that she's had a month and change to marinate and have some eggnog-fueled epiphanies, she's finally on the warpath. And, dare we say, it's making her likeable again.

It all goes down in a very frank interview she gave to a "conservative filmmaker" wherein she goes off on Tina Fey, Caroline Kennedy, Katie Couric, and you! After hinting that she basically handed Tina Fey her career, she points out that ratings spikes associated with her image say "a great deal about our society," (oh, snap) and - in our absolutely favorite bit, gives Couric the business with the line "Because, Katie, you're not the center of everybody's universe." And God bless her for not going off quietly into the good night because 1) it's always reassuring to see a woman refusing to take it, even if she may have possibly deserved it just a little bit, and 2) we're bored stiff of the current headlines (hey, did you hear unemployment's reached 7 percent?) and need something else to talk about.

Get the full details or watch Palin's class warfare rant for yourself.

It was Katie's fault and Charlie's fault and John's fault and Tina's fault and my handlers fault and the Media's fault and my hairstylists fault and everybody asked me hard questions I wasn't scripted for. I know for a fact that it wasn't all those made up scandals, my knocked ... MORE >
  • Well... Friday, Jan 16 at 2:27 PM FLAG COMMENT For anyone to say that Sarah is smart they must not have really paid attention!!!! She jumped out there loud and wrong........

  • Tin Tin Thursday, Jan 15 at 9:33 PM FLAG COMMENT Go Tina Fey!!! I am so glad you saw straight through Sarah Palin. Just as the fake guys from France. You knew she was not all there w/her intelect. If yu figured her out, no matter how much we love her, America, others in foreigh countries will too. Please let's love her, appreciate her beauty, family, and son-in-law, but keep her in Alaska.
  • Couric Thursday, Jan 15 at 9:26 PM FLAG COMMENT Thank God for Katie Couric. I hope she is around in 2012. Just in case Palin is crazy enough to trick the Republicans (mostly the men, yu know they think w/another part of their body) into allowing her to represent their ticket. It'll take her longer than 4-years to get half as smart as H. Clinton. Sarah Palin...give the women someone smarter...PLEASE!!!
