"I should have done it, yes. And her questions were fair," Palin told CNN's Larry King Wednesday. "Obviously being a bit annoyed with some of the questions, my annoyance shows through."
Translation: "Her questions were fair, you know for a "Gotcha" journalist, but it annoyed me that they would not let me see the answers ahead of time or let Meg Stapleton answer them for me. And by the way I think Katie Couric was really just jealous that I clearly read way more magazines and newspapers then she does. I bet she does not read ALL OF THEM like I do."
Palin had some well-publicized fumbles during interviews with CBS Katie Couric in late September leading up to her vice presidential debate.
"Certainly I should have done the interview. And to attribute I think that interview to any kind of negativity in the campaign or a downfall in the campaign, I think it's ridiculous."
Translation: "I don't want it to be true that I destroyed John McCain's campaign so "poof" it is magically not true. And everything is once again fine in my "Sarah-centric" universe."
Palin added that she wished she talked more to the media.
"In retrospect, in hindsight, I wish I would had more opportunities or that we would have seized more opportunities to speak more," Palin said.
Translation: "That gag they made me wear on on my mouth smeared my lipstick and left my lips all puffy."
In two interviews with CNN Wednesday, Palin reflected upon her unsuccessful bid for the White House and discussed President-elect Barack Obama's incoming administration.
The Alaska Governor said she would be honored to help out Obama and his new administration, even if he did hang around with an "unrepentant domestic terrorist," if he asked her for assistance on issues she highlighted her campaign, such as energy or services for special-needs children.
"It would be my honor to assist and support our new president and the new administration," said Palin, whom Sen. John McCain chose as his running mate in August.
Translation: " Since this is not FOX News I need to pretend like I will work with the Arab."
When asked about some of the tough rhetoric she hurled from the stump, she said she was "still concerned" about Obama's ties to former Weather Underground member-turned-Chicago college professor William Ayers.
Translation: "Gotta keep the crazies a little riled up for 2012."
"If anybody still wants to talk about it, I will," she said. "Because this is an unrepentant domestic terrorist who had campaigned to blow up, to destroy our Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol.
"That's an association that still bothers me, and I think it's fair to still talk about it," she continued.
Translation: "Wow it sure feels good to be able to trash talk Obama again. That is the part about campaigning I miss the very most. That and the hate filled racist mobs."
"However, the campaign is over. That chapter is closed. Now is the time to move on and make sure all of us are doing all that we can to progress this nation."
Translation: "Calm down Sarah, pace yourself. It is still a few more years before I can finally run the kind of campaign I want to and win the White House. I wonder if they can ship in moose to hunt like they do birds for Cheney?"
