You do realize that your story and youtube clip are bogus right?
No need for a happy dance just yet.
Unhappy fans of Sarah Palin went rogue on the Alaska Republican during her book tour stop in Noblesville, Indiana on Thursday.
The local Borders outlet had handed out 1,000 wristbands to book purchasers; the wristbands were supposed to procure fans Palin's signature on their hardback copies of "Going Rogue." But several dozen people who had been promised signatures were turned away empty-handed after waiting hours in poor weather, a local news outlet, the Indy Channel, reported.
"We gave up our entire workday, stayed in the cold, my kids were crying," one man was quoted saying. "They went home with my wife. She was out here in the freezing cold all day. I feel like I don't want to support Sarah."
Another woman told Indy Channel, "We bought two books from Borders to have our receipt and our wristband to get it signed tonight. My books are going back to Borders tomorrow."
The angry crowd turned on Palin as she returned to her "Going Rogue" tour bus. Video below shows people booing and shouting at the bus, and shouting "Sign our books Sarah!" as the engine revved up and Palin departed.

Remember when Superman had to run off in the middle of some event and go fight to keep the free world safe? It's like that. Thats just how Sarah rolls.

All you linked to us was a video, and no sources to claim for the 300 or so folks who were supposedly neglected. Im not a fan of the woman.... far from it... but lets try to assure fact checking here. The OP sounds more like speculation to me.

Did you catch that? Over 1,000 people showed up during a COLD RAIN to see her and she signed books for 3 hours!!
Really? They waited 3 hours for this woman? For that book??? You would really have to be in the tank to even consider to buy her book from the Walmart discount bin.... Its just beyond me.... even for Palin supporters.

To answer your question, yes, that actually is Andrea Mitchell and yes, security is holding her back. Apparently, she thought a book signing event was a great time to bust in and ask Palin about the Newsweek cover.
