Barbara Walters to Interview Sarah Palin

Barbara Walters might have been a journalist for longer but when it comes to scoring big interviews, it’s hard to beat the power of Oprah. 

Walters is going to get her chance at needling former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, but not before the controversial woman sits down on Oprah in an episode airing on November 16, 2009. 

To compensate, Walters’ interview will be aired in five parts on Good Morning America and will likely focus on Palin’s failed run for the White House (as John McCain’s vice president) as well as her new book, Going Rogue: An American Life.

It’s November sweeps, folks, so I’m not surprised that these two are scrambling to sit down with Palin.  I’m not sure how much we are going to learn, though, since it’s hard to know whether Palin is telling the truth about anything. 

I’m not saying that negatively but I just feel like there’s so much drama and secrecy surrounding her life.  It would be interesting to see what she says, though.
