Oprah Winfrey puts Sarah Palin in the hot seat on her Nov. 16 show, addressing everything from Levi Johnston to the former GOP vice-presidential contender's disastrous interview with Katie Couric.
According to excerpts obtained by Usmagazine.com, Winfrey asks Palin if Johnston, 19, will be invited to Thanksgiving dinner.
"You know, that's a great question," Palin replies. "And it's lovely to think that he would ever even consider such a thing. Because, of course, you want -- he is a part of the family and you want to bring him in the fold and kind of under your wing. And he needs that, too, Oprah. I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child and this can all work out for good. It really can."
Look back at 2008's biggest scandals
Of Johnston badmouthing the family to press, the former Alaska Gov. says: "We don't have to keep going down this road of controversy and drama all the time. We're not really into the drama. We don't really like that. We're more productive. We have other things to concentrate on...."

Palin did not want to talk about her notoriously awkward interview with Couric.
"Must we?" she asks Winfrey.

During Palin's 2008 chat with Couric, Couric asked Palin to explain why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience. When Couric asked Palin what newspapers and magazines she reads regularly, an uncomfortable Palin replied: "Um, all of them, any of them."
Palin tells Winfrey she didn't think the sit-down wasn't a seminal defining moment for her.
"And neither did the campaign," she adds. "In fact, that is why segment 2 and 3 and 4 and maybe 5 were scheduled. The campaign said, 'Right on. Good. You're showing your independence. This is what America needs to see and it was a good interview.' And, of course, I'm thinking, 'If you thought that was a good interview, I don't know what a bad interview is,' because I knew it was a bad interview."

LexyIt's a shame your so DUMB Starlight. GO back to school!!!! I don't care what you say but as I said before Sarah Palin is a Bright, Intelligent and a good looking woman and she should be our Vice-Pres right now Not Biden. Even Obama isn't turning out to be the hero everyone thought he would be. He has been nothing but a great disappoint to this country and will be untilreport abuseposted December 13, 2009 4:35 PM PST

betrue2uLike her or not, she rose from being a mom to a mayor to governor. Anyone who thinks she's a complete bimbo obviously would need to ask themselves as they look in the mirror "Okay so what have you accomplished?" Sneer all you want, she has charisma and people are intrigued by her.report abuseposted November 13, 2009 4:23 AM PST

LexyHey starlight, What gives you the right to judge Sarah Palin and her family. if you think that she is the only public figure who has had trouble with her kids then you you are SO wrong. Sarah Palin is a bright, attractive and intelligent woman and if it weren't for alot of mixed up people in this world, she would be our VICE_PRESIDENT right now. Sarah rocks!report abuseposted November 13, 2009 12:40 AM PST

starlightPalin is still a rifle toting religious fanatic who is in no way qualified to judge anybody about anything. I have real problems with someone who lets her oldest daughter throw her life away in the name of political correctness, which is what Palin did.Where is her common sense, not mention her BRAIN, I'd like to know? Bristol belongs in college, not the maternity ward. What a shame.report abuseposted November 12, 2009 10:11 PM PST
