Game Change2012

Steve Schmidt:
[prepping Palin for national interviews] Let's start with something simple: how do you plan on maintaining our alliance with Great Britain on Iraq even though support for the war there is at an all-time low?

Sarah Palin:
I think the United States has always maintained a great relationship with the Queen, and John McCain will continue to have an open dialogue with her.

Steve Schmidt:
[perplexed] Um, Governor, the Queen is not the head of government in England, she's the head of state.

Sarah Palin:
Well, then who's the head of government?

Steve Schmidt:
[dumbfounded]... The Prime Minister. [tries to laugh it off and takes a sip of his tea with a nervous look on his face]
