WASILLA — Piper Palin missed most of her classes last week, but it’s OK. She brought notes.
The 8-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, along with 15-year-old sister Willow, joined the former Alaska governor in taping some interviews leading up to today’s release of Palin’s book, “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
Perhaps the third-grader wanted more pull than just a note from a former governor and vice presidential candidate. So, after sitting in the front row while her mother was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey in Chicago on Wednesday, Piper asked the talk show host for a note excusing her from class, said Palin aide Meg Stapleton. She then got another note on Friday from Barbara Walters.
The girls were back in school on Monday, but enjoyed their time with the famous interviewers, Stapleton said.
“Oprah and Barbara Walters were very cool and nice,” Willow said. “I enjoyed meeting them and the chance to see Chicago and New York City this time of year.”
First on the itinerary was the “Oprah Winfrey Show” and a Tuesday evening visit to Gino’s East for its world-famous deep-dish pizza. A tradition at the restaurant is for people of note to write their names on the wall, and Piper wrote hers and her mother’s.
At the studio, “Oprah had gifts for (the sisters) and they got their hair and make-up done,” Stapleton said. Piper received an American Girl doll and Willow the “Twilight” series of books. “And they were both thrilled and excited to get those, for sure.”

Smart girl!
Great story—thanks for the post.
Nice story, makes me almost want to like Oprah, then I remember who she voted for
My kid missed most of lat week too. He was at a shooting tourniment. It was okay though; he brought notes :-)
Oh the liberals will spin the h*ll out of that!
Piper rocks! What is there not to love?
“Piper rocks! What is there not to love?”
She’s way cool. I don’t think I will ever forgive the media for what they did to the Palins, nor will the media ever get any respect in this household. They are worthless to us now, whether a so-called “news” program or an early evening entertainment show.
If that doesn’t peg the cute-meter....
