Sarah Palin on Katie Couric Interview: ‘I Knew it was a Bad Interview’

FishbowlDC has a partial transcript from Oprah Winfrey‘s interview yesterday with Sarah Palin. In the interview, which airs Monday on “Oprah,” Palin is asked about her 2008 campaign interviews with Katie Couric.

Winfrey: You do say that it wasn’t your best interview. Do you think that was a seminal defining moment for you, that interview?

Palin: I did not. And neither did the campaign. In fact, that is why Segment 2 and 3 and 4 and maybe 5 were scheduled. The campaign said, ‘right on. Good. You’re showing your independence. This is what America needs to see and it was a good interview.’ And of course I’m thinking, if you thought that was a good interview, I don’t know what a bad interview is because I knew it was a bad interview wasn’t a good interview.
