Sarah Palin:
Why'd you make me do Katie Couric? Did you see the coverage? Did you? [silence] Sarah Palin:
ARE YOU THERE? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? Nicolle Wallace:
Yes, Governor, I'm here. Katie was a logical choice; she's been very fair to us this entire campaign. Sarah Palin:
You call that interview fair? Nicolle Wallace:
Yes, Governor, I do. Sarah Palin:
I certainly don't, she was out to get me from the get-go! Nicolle Wallace:
No, she wasn't! The interview sucked because you didn't try! Sarah Palin:
What, what do you mean I didn't try? Nicolle Wallace:
You didn't fight back, like you did in the Charlie Gibson interview - when you didn't know the answers, you clawed your way back and it went fine! You just gave up! Sarah Palin:
[through gritted teeth]
Nicolle, it wasn't my fault; I wasn't... properly... prepped! Nicolle Wallace:
[angrily]
You weren't properly prepped because you wouldn't LISTEN to us! You never LISTEN to your advisers! Sarah Palin:
[heatedly]
Because you're overwhelming me with TOO MUCH INFORMATION! You know, I-I don't, I don't wanna do these interviews! I want to do what I want to do! Nicolle Wallace:
[sighs]
We're just trying to help you get through this, Governor. All we want is for you to succeed. Sarah Palin:
[scoffs]
Yeah, you're NOT helping! You're just screwing me up! You're telling me what to say, what to wear, how to talk... I AM NOT YOUR PUPPET! NOW I understand what Hillary meant when she said she had to find her own voice! Nicolle Wallace:
[incredulously]
Yeah... cause You're just like Hillary. Sarah Palin:
You have ruined me! You have ruined my reputation! I AM RUINED IN ALASKA! [throws phone against the wall] Nicolle Wallace:
[shakes head, calls Steve Schmidt]
Steve, it's Nicolle. I will gladly resign if you want to blame me for Couric, but if you want me to stay, then I'm back on McCain's bus tomorrow, as I never want to deal with that woman ever again!
