David and Katie sit down and have a serious talk about Sarah Palin and her infamous interview with Katie Couric. I'd say Katie was more than generous with her assessment of Palin, but David, as could be expected, threw in quite a few zingers every chance he got. We've been lucky so far this week and have not heard a word from Alaska's wonderful governor. I think we deserve another week of quite, before Palin rears her opportunistic head again.

Last night, Katie Couric sat down with David Letterman and talked about the interviews with Sarah Palin that signaled the beginning of the end. In other news, Katie really likes that jacket. Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

From the Huffington Post: Couric said that Palin may have gotten tripped up because she was not prepared to answer more general questions during their interview following her visit to the UN. "I started by asking her who most impressed her as Vice President and why, what was the best and worst things Dick Cheney had done as Vice President, why was Roe v. Wade an ill-conceived or a bad Supreme Court decision," Couric told Letterman. "And I think she really hadn't anticipated those kinds of questions, so I think it might've thrown her off a bit. And then we got into foreign policy — because, after all, she was at the UN meeting with world leaders — and clearly she was struggling with some of those answers." While Couric did note that, in Palin's defense, they were not easy questions to answer, Letterman reminded her that the "What newspapers and magazines do you read?" question was an easy one that Palin blew. Couric explained how it came about and said that she disagrees with the way Palin is characterizing the question in post-election interviews. "We we doing one of these walk-and-talks, it was a casual part of the interview, and I just said, 'I'm curious, what do you read? What has helped you shape your worldview? What do you read to stay informed?'" Couric explained. "A good question but an easy question," Letterman said. "It was just really something I was curious about," Couric said, "and I'm not sure whether she was afraid to offend certain people, if she would offend conservatives by saying she read the New York Times....Even in the post-election interviews, Dave, that she's done, nobody's really asked her, 'Why didn't you answer that question?' She claims that I said, 'What do you read up there in Alaska?' as if people in Alaska don't read or don't have access to reading materials. I never said that. I'm aware people in Alaska have access."

Katie gives the scoop, albeit achingly apologetically, about the interview with Sarah, Moose Hunter Princess.

Katie Couric discussed her infamous interview with Sarah Palin Wednesday night on the "Late Show with David Letterman." Couric took Letterman inside the process of scheduling Palin's interviews — the campaign actually rushed an interview because "they didn't want a week to go by without hearing anything from Governor Palin," as Couric put it — and said the campaign was "very generous" and gave her "tremendous access" to Palin.
