Pulling No Punches

" She rose from relative obscurity to national fame after Senator John McCain named her as his running mate in the 2000 election and now we are getting our. First look at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin soon to be released memoir. Going -- the book coming out next Tuesday and most folks predicting its gonna be huge seller in it we're told that Palin. It doesn't hold much back according to the Associated Press Palin takes some pretty good shots at the McCain campaign as well as the media. And now we're getting word that the former governor is expected to post on her FaceBook page that the AP is quote unquote erroneously reporting. The contents of her book the piece is -- standing by its reporting now coming Monday she'll appear on Oprah. She's going to be talking about the now infamous interview with CBS's Katie Kirk -- courtesy of Harpo productions."

" it was a seminal defining moment for you that interview. I did not -- and neither did the campaign in fact that is why segment 234. Maybe five rescheduled the campaign. Fed by god good you're showing your independence this is what America needs to see. -- it was a good interview at courtside again if -- with a good interview I don't know what a bad interview last because it wasn't a good interview okay."

" That is now a host of FOX News Sunday. Chris Wallace who is who's got a big smile on its widest smile what well I could get out she's just a great character I've been whether you agree whether or disagree -- you can't take your rise offer. -- just fascinating to watch -- got a larger than life personality and I'm sure that. The opera interview with going to be fascinating and Barbara Walters and Bill O'Reilly and I hope I hope Chris Wallace a week from Sunday night again. That'd be great you've already put the invited in and go at it -- along with -- top of the western world yes we have put the invite and and everybody would like to get her because he's just a fascinating character. And a lot of people -- a lot of people aren't so crazy about it but I think everyone is fascinated by. I'd love to ask you which you -- and I don't wanna spoil it you probably wouldn't tell me. Hey listen I mean look you were White House correspondent you've covered a bunch of presidents and presidential campaigns and so forth. On does this give her in a way kind of a fresh start maybe it alters her image. Well it depends on on how she comes off I you know what's interesting her comment. About criticizing the AP reporting she's not saying really that the AP. Comments are inaccurate in the sense that. That there misquoted what he says in the book I think what she's really saying is that doesn't tell the that the the sum of the book that is what the whole story is about it several hundred pages and obviously she's gonna talk about her life and hold beliefs but in Iowa also understandably eight feet looking out at. Knows what -- says and the immediate news is going to be if he's taking shots at the at the McCain campaign. My guess is that you know that's gonna get the headlines for the next day or two but once you see here for an hour on Oprah and and a number of interviews with the with Barbara Walters that you're gonna -- Sarah Palin's personality and -- out you know despite what our parents told us you do get a second chance to make a first impression absolutely on. So if it's true she does take a few shots in the McCain campaign advisers maybe nodded the Senator John McCain back in the campaign itself. What does that accomplish do you think. Well look if I think part of that is that it's damage control she knows that. There were a lot of embarrassing moments and a campaign for especially the Katie Couric interview. And -- tried to explain the context of what had happened in which she blames a McCain staffer who said no Katie correct. You know I was is a working woman she has teenage children -- south he sympathizes with the U. Which sounds like that kind of thing that K co worker Katie Couric's producer would be signed it doesn't sound like what the McCain campaign. Because obviously particularly at that point -- campaign whoever the reporter was. And particularly mainstream media was up like stocks with here it would it would Sarah Palin and resulted -- agree that the adviser -- battered that -- at Sarah -- believe that they -- does not need. Because obviously that wasn't much Katie Couric was about at that point. Chris Wallace thanks so much Chris by the way to our viewers you can catch more of Chris Wallace.
