Palin, who left the governor's office in 2009 and went on to become an author, reality TV star and Fox News commentator, has previously rejected the notion that McCain's team did not know enough about her prior to tapping her as his running mate. She called the vetting that ended up in her selection "thorough" and blamed the Arizona senator's handlers for botching the campaign by being too tentative and controlling, among other failures.
