A Poem On What The Vice President Does
The vice president can break a Senate tie.

And the vice president waits for the president to get sick or die.


All Sarah Palin has to do is memorize this...

1. Some folks say "give her a pass" on it, but...
it reflects a deeper truth which needs no "pass." Nothing Palin said in that statement was true. By the Constitution, the VP isn't required to be a "team player," isn't required to help the President, isn't expected to "run the Senate," and doesn't have any flexibility of power in how he/she uses the limited role therein. Nope, no "pass" on this. After months of being given the opportunity to read the Constitution, or to at least ask Constitutional scholars what the duties really are, she failed. No gold star...no mules for sister Sarah!
