Something wrong with the clip?
Quote
Steve Schmidt:
[regarding "Troopergate" charges]
You can't say you were cleared of all wrongdoing.
Sarah Palin:
[applying lipstick]
Why not?
Steve Schmidt:
Because you weren't. The reports stated that you abused your power; that is the opposite of being cleared of all wrongdoing.
Sarah Palin:
Then why was I told otherwise?
Steve Schmidt:
You weren't told otherwise!
Sarah Palin:
And why haven't you released a statement saying that Todd was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party?
Steve Schmidt:
Because that would be untrue! He WAS a member.
Sarah Palin:
He checked the WRONG BOX! He registered BY ACCIDENT and rectified the error immediately!
Steve Schmidt:
He was a member for SEVEN YEARS! I'm sorry, Governor, but there is only a few weeks left in this campaign and you have got to stop saying things to the press that are blatantly untrue; that is NOT the kind of campaign that we are running here!
Sarah Palin:
[scornfully]
Campaign? Is that what you're calling this...
[starts leaving for rally]
Steve Schmidt:
Governor, I admit that this is a dysfunctional campaign, but THAT is what I inherited and I am doing my level best to help us win this election!
Sarah Palin:
[turns around]
And that's what I'm trying to do too, Steve, and all you're doing is screwing me up! That's all you've done this entire time is get in my way!
[starts to leave again, turns around]
Sarah Palin:
Oh, OH! And I am raising millions of dollars for this campaign; hundreds of thousands of people are coming to see ME speak! Not John McCain, God bless him, they are coming to see me! SO, if I am single-handedly carrying this..."campaign"...
[drops voice]
Sarah Palin:
I'm gonna do what I want!

As the campaign kicks into high gear, her lack of experience, in both political and media savvy, becomes a drain upon McCain and his strategists.
