You mess with the grizzly, you get the claws.
In new interview footage of Sarah Palin released on YouTube this week, the Alaska governor gets not only folksy but downright forceful in unleashing her opinions on the two women most responsible for molding her less-than-flattering public persona, calling out both Katie "What newspapers do you read?" Couric and doppelgänger extraordinaire Tina Fey.
Check out video of Sarah Palin's interview.....

With 65% of the country thinking that she's not ready to be President, she needs to get a handle on her image, and quickly. Or, she won't have any chance in 2012.
Sad to say the media was successful in destroying her, she has no chance in 2012.
Eh, too little too late. She better have more than this if she wants to run in 2012.
Sarah, my earthbound angel, was treated most dreadfully badly by most of the media, but part of that was tacitly encouraged by some of the power brokers withi the John McCain campaign itself.
Despite the endless bias, Sarah acquitted herself well.
I like that, I would like to see people on our side, daily going after everything and everyone left...attack and don't let up....hell it worked for the dems why not for us....
i don’t know if this is good for her image
but then again nobody will remember this in 4 years
I didn’t think she was to catty I thought she was to nice.
She is what she is and who she is we have enough fakes. Why would she want to live in DC with a bunch of rats, when she can live in Alaska.
Why on earth did she go on SNL if she believed SNL and Fey were being unfair.
The McCain campaign probably made her do it.
It worked for Obama. She has a lot more on the ball than what was elected!
She also had a ball and chain named McCain dragging her down.
Personally, I don't know why she would be interested because she seems to have a wonderful life doing what she's doing, where she's doing it.
Actually, Sarah did great on SNL, McCain did not. His SNL appearence was nothing more than of announcement that he knew he would lose the election.
Sixty five percent of the country is correct.
If Sarah Palin was a male, would "Sam Palin", previous Mayor of a town of less than ten thousand and Governor of a state with a population of less than 685,000 since December of 2006 be even mentioned as a possible candidate for President of the United States?
Only if "Sam Palin" was not white.
Liberals fawned over Barack Obama because he was liberal, "clean and articulate" and has the Politically Correct skin color and too many Conservatives are now fawning over Sarah Palin because she is conservative and has the Politically Correct gender.
Sarah Palin, in order to win a general Presidential election, needs to offer more than "I am a Conservative (great line in 1980 after four years of Jimmy Carter but terrible line after eight years of George W. Bush) and I have two X chromosomes".
"I am a Conservative and I have two X chromosomes" only resonates with Conservative Republicans although it shouldn't as we are not supposed to be advocates of Affirmative Action. Be that as it may, the last time I checked, we only make up 60% of the Republican Party that only makes up 28% of the total American electorate.
Sarah Palin needs to become U.S. Senator from Alaska, acquire some sort of experience in living in the Lower 48, accomplish something at the national level and then, in eight or twelve years, evaluate whether she has more to offer than simply being Conservative and female.
I agree for the most part but then I look to people like my parents and spouse, they liked her at first but they thought the whole “you betcha” folksy routine wore extremely thin. That shtick carries such a heavy accent it almost sounds as if its contrived, lending to the cartoonishness. If she wants a shot she needs to come out swinging and making a splash in policy.
I wholly agree with your comments, and that being said, I’m going to sit back and watch your crucifiction.
I think that Palin’s biggest appeal is that the left seemed to dislike her so there are many on the right who loved her just for that.
I never saw the attraction.
Palin hasn't demonstrated any ability to compete on the national change and appeal to a majority of Americans.
I don’t think she comes off catty, at least not to me. I do agree with everything else you said in the post.
The media was successful in destroying her? I disagree.Then again, the MSM doesn’t control me.
