Yesterday was the beginning of what the Huffington Post has dubbed "Sarah Palin Week" -- five solid days of media appearances to promote her The first stop on this tour was, obviously, the "The Oprah Winfrey Show," where Palin spoke seriously about her political philosophy.
Just kidding! After watching the one-hour interview -- which centered most on Palin's wardrobe, exercise habits and Thanksgiving plans -- we've rounded up the most outrageous Palinisms from the highly anticipated interview.
1. On receiving the vice-presidential nomination: "I wasn't shocked at all."
2. On the controversy surrounding her vice-presidential campaign: "I thought the most controversial fact about myself was that I received a D in college!"
3. On McCain's lengthy announcement that he'd chosen her as his running mate: "It was funny that he had so much explaining to do."
4. On Trig (her 2-year-old-son who was prenatally diagnosed with Down Syndrome): "I really understood how women could think it's easier to have an abortion in situations like that."
Oprah: "So you thought about having an abortion?"
Palin: "No."
5. On the Katie Couric interview: "I thought it was going to be a lighthearted interview between two working moms ... then she badgered me with questions about politics."
6. On why she kept doing interviews with Couric: Oprah: "Why?"
Palin: "They kept scheduling them!"
7. On Levi (her granddaughter's father): "He took 'foundational untruths' and built on them."
8. More on Levi: "His gig is inconsistencies."
Oprah: "Such as?"
Palin: "He said I didn't go to hockey games!"
10. On media bias:
Oprah: "Do you think the way you were portrayed in the media contributed to you losing the election?"
Palin: "Nope."
11. On McCain's concession speech: "I wish they had let me speak. They told me that VPs don't usually speak. I mean, I've heard VPs speak for years."
12. On her newfound freedom: "It's nice to be able to say what I want now without having to worry about ethics violations and lawsuits."
13. On working motherhood:
Oprah: "Were you concerned about juggling family and being VP?"
Palin: "There is a lot more equality now. Women can do the same job as a man ... but I wouldn't preach to women that they can have it all, unless they have help."
14. [continued...] "Well, women can have it all, just not at the same time."
15. On being governor: "I wasn't able to talk about important issues."
And finally: "I resigned because Alaska was being hampered by my presence. I could better serve Alaskans by not being governor."

I don't understand how she has always criticized the media and trash talked about how intrusive they are... yet now that she has a new book out, she's loving every minute she's on TV. What hypocrisy.

If she can do more good for Alaskans by not being governor, think how much good she can do for Americans by not being president!
