Sarah Palin‘s rogue book tour made a pre-taped stop in Chicago today for the former Alaska governor’s much-hyped appearance on “Oprah.”

Palin dropped some doggone fascinating tidbits during the interview. She said she has no plans to run for president in 2012. Well, actually she said it’s “not on my radar,” which is Politician for “It might be over the horizon.”

That might ease the worries of conspiracy theorists convinced that the adorable political celebrity could ring in the 2012 apocalypse. On second thought, no, it won’t convince the “anti-” crowd of anything.

Oprah Winfrey, who supported her hometown senator, Barack Obama, in the election, questioned Palin about her unintentionally hilarious interviews with Katie Couric. Palin refused to refer to Couric by name, instead calling her “the perky one.” Gosh!

Don’t worry, plenty more to come after the book’s official release tomorrow. There’s a five-part Barbara Walters chat on ABC and a long radio conversation with Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern.
