<snip>
Yesterday, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) sat for an interview with KUSA, an NBC affiliate in Colorado. In response to a question sent to the network by a third grader at a local elementary school about what the Vice President does, Palin erroneously argued that the Vice President is “in charge of the United States Senate“:

Q: Brandon Garcia wants to know, “What does the Vice President do?”

PALIN: That’s something that Piper would ask me! … hey’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom.

1. or she's scary

depends what you feel of Cheney's philosophy of the job.

[Disturbed]

9. Gov. Palin needs to be Impeached, now!!!

At the very least, Alaskans need to mount a Recall Petition & toss her out. She is corrupt & inept. She is unfit to be Gov., much less VP or possibly Pres. of the USA..

She obviously has not read the US Constitution.

[malaise]

15. Tweety playing the tape now

Mark Green says constitutionally ignorant. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah! :rofl:
Tweety says she has not read the constitution - hahahahahahahha :rofl:

Pat says she's talking to second graders. Tweety replies she sounds like a second grader. :rofl:

[madaboutharry]

2. She does not know basic Civics.

She filled out a questionnaire at a Governors' conference and wrote that if the word "God" was good enough for the Founding Fathers to put in the Pledge of Allegiance, it was good enough for her. The woman has a 10 cent brain.

3. As dumb as a hockey puck

qualified ....bwahahahahahahaha

[Hassin Bin Sober]

4. Does anyone have any insight as to what they have planned regarding THAT idea?

I'm assuming they think they would be able to control the senate - absent a majority or even 40 seats.

How would that work in their little pea-brains?

[Winterblues]

5. She hinted that she felt that way in her debate..

There was a lot of fun made of her over that at the time. Apparently she hasn't learned a thing since then..Joe Biden told her in no uncertain terms the ONLY thing the VP does in the Senate is cast a tie breaking vote...He was quite emphatic about it ands yet she persists...I think there may really be something wrong with her mentally..

[Ghost in the Machine]

11. "I think there may really be something wrong with her mentally.."

*That's* the understatement of the year... :-)

:hi:

[malaise]

12. I think that's the reason we're not seeing her medical

records

[OneGrassRoot]

19. Remember she also said in the debate that she wants to

"expand the constitutional role" of the VP.

Oy.

[prolesunited]

6. Remember that video before she got the nom

and she said she didn't know what the vp did?

Somebody better explain it to her again. real. slow.

[jwirr]

7. Unfortunately most of her followers probably think that also.

[leftofthedial]

8. I don't know about "dumb"

but she's brutally ignorant

and damned proud of it

typical bible thumper.

[malaise]

10. And that's the problem

She's proud of her ignorance.

[leftofthedial]

35. She may be proud of it,

but her ignorance does nothing to temper her arrogance

[Fire1]

23. And THAT is the equivalent of DUMB!

[ancient_nomad]

13. Unbelievable....

and then that idiot McSame claims she is ready to be vice-president - arrrrrgh!

[ColbertWatcher]

14. What a sociopath.

"That’s something that Piper would ask me!"

Is that the only function of that kid? To protect her from criticism? As a way to insult people's intelligence or maturity?

There is something seriously wrong with this woman--she's a sociopath.

[Disturbed]

16. Yeah, she is a Sociopath, an ignorant, arrogant one.

Alaskans should be highly mortified at who they chose as Gov.

McLame said that she is qualified to be Pres. He has proven to America that he is an arrogant Asshole, a freakin' liar & a dishonorable person, not fit to be Pres. either.

[ColbertWatcher]

21. I think that may be the only silver lining from McCain's VP pick ...

... everyone will be looking at their elected officials a little closer now.

[TexasObserver]

17. She couldn't pass a freshman history course.

[Karenina]

18. Too dumb to get any closer to the position.

:freak:

[malaise]

20. Tweety and Bill Maher are having a feast

with Palin and Bachmann. This is a riot. :rofl:

[2Design]

22. She is uneducated and needs to go back and take a government

course, probably several of them

[kitty1]

24. In charge of the Senate library would be more fitting for her n/t

[Hekate]

25. God, no. Imagine the carnage: there'd be no books left! nt

[Cass]

26. I hope Brandon's teacher set him straight about this.

I wonder how hard John McCain is kicking himself for picking Palin. She is a complete joke.

[pnorman]

33. I'm beginning to get the idea that he had little choice in that selection.

The Theocrat wing of the Republican Party had something like her in mind all along, and the PNAC wing just went along. Take note of how a few of the latter had recently jumped ship and endorsed Obama. Also note that Ms. Palin had recently "differed" from McCain.

27. SCARY

K and R

[Dukkha]

28. she's a power whore

a control freak with a domineering personality

[BlooInBloo]

29. She's a fucking blithering idiot.

[Ilsa]

30. I wonder if she knows it requires a change to the Constitution, and

that that would require a Constitutional Amendment, and that that would take a decade or so, realistically. She better get to work on that!

[lonestarnot]

31. WTF!

:wtf:

[bridgit]

32. Dumb, dumb dumb-dumb...dumb, dumb dumb-dumb DUMB! That's how dumb...

:)

[bertman]

34. She's just basing her opinion on actual observation of Congressional voting since Sept 2001.

Any American who doesn't think Dick Cheney has been in charge of the Senate for the last eight years hasn't been paying attention. Matter of fact, judging by his success rate, he's been in charge of pretty much everything that's happened in the U.S. Congress.

I'm impressed. She finally got something right.
