Sarah Palin Debuts as a Fox News Contributor

She fired back at critics of her performance as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign, and kept up her ongoing attacks on the Obama administration.

Palin, 45, said she'd been warned not to watch a recent "60 Minutes" interview with McCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt.

During the interview, Schmidt claimed Palin didn't know the difference between North and South Korea. Palin called that a lie.

"Yes, that surprised me," Palin told host Bill O'Reilly on FOX's "The O'Reilly Factor." "I hadn't seen the '60 Minutes' thing. I had been warned, you know, don't watch. It's a bunch of B.S. from [Steve] Schmidt and from some of those."

She denied Schmidt's claim that she was "in chaos preparing for the debate" with Sen. Joe Biden during the presidential campaign in 2008.
