Sarah Palin writes at length about CBS anchor Katie Couric in Going Rogue. Palin alleges that Couric and CBS omitted her more “substantive” remarks and settled for “gotcha” moments — saying Couric had a “partisan agenda” and a condescending manner. Couric was “badgering,” biased and far easier on Palin’s Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, she writes in the book ‘Going Rogue’ shipping November 17, 2009. Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1 in Books.

“Charles Gibson peered skeptically at her over his glasses like a disapproving a principal.”
[Palin] opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom’s-eye view of high-stakes national politics—from patriots dedicated to “Country First” to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.

The book also confirms trouble in the McCain-Palin campaign.

Sarah Palin grew up in Alaska towns, from Skagway to Wasilla to Anchorage, while her dad taught science and coached high school sports. She and her future husband, Todd Palin, graduated from Wasilla High School in 1982, and she went on to earn her college degree from the School of Journalism at the University of Idaho. Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council, then two terms as the city’s mayor and manager, and was elected by her peers as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. She then chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. Palin was elected Alaska’s youngest, and first female, governor, serving from 2006 to 2009. While serving her state she was tapped as Senator John McCain’s running mate in 2008, becoming the first female Republican vice presidential candidate in our nation’s history.

The Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children, including a son in the U.S. Army, and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48.
