A search of the FAQ for “youtube” would have brought you this on how to play youtube videos: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/07/29/how-do-i-post-a-youtube-video/
You can also do dailymotion: http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/how-do-i-post-a-dailymotion-video/
And, for videos that are not supported directly, you can use the vodpod button many of them in posts:

The video you reference plays just fine in my test blog with the following code put into the HTML tab on the post editor:

You need to switch to the HTML tab in the editor. Copy the code I have above and then paste it into the editor in the HTML tab. I copied that code right out of my post where the video is playing as we speak.
Also, in your browser make sure you have javascript enabled, and also make sure you have the latest version of flash.

I successfully added the video to your blog within a private post. Please see –

I’ve had a lot of issues using the “add video” button above the toolbar lately. It’s been very hit and miss. My suggestion is to add the shortcode to the video manually. Actually type it directly into the HTML tab on the editor.
