I predict a band breakup. The other 2 will dump Natalie someday.

I can't speak to the video you mention, but a few years ago, before the "incident," CBS did a special on the Dixie Chicks, where (I think) Mike Wallace interviewed them) and they broadcast a DC concert. That show made me run out and buy the trio's CD, and I really liked it. They're very talented, and they were really terrific in concert.
But, as has been mentioned more than once here, "if you find yourself in a hole, you might want to quit digging." It seems that Natalie just can't shut up - sort of like Bill Clinton. And each time she opens her mouth, she reopens old wounds. You're probably right that the sisters are getting fed up with Natalie. But they probably also realize that had they never dumped their original singer/bassist Laura Lynch and brought in Natalie, they never would have enjoyed the success they had over the next 5 years or so.
So, they're sort of between a rock and a hard place.
