..................................., - solstice21, on 10/21/2008, -10/+214Getting to cast a vote only in the event of a tie = in charge now eh?
Someone throw a copy of the constitution at this bitch - kayceekay, on 10/21/2008, -10/+197Please vote on November 4 even though it looks like Obama will win. If this woman even gets near the White House it will be disastrous. One major criteria for me to vote for someone as President or Vice President is that their IQ be higher than mine. You could double her IQ score and it still would not beat mine! Don't be complacent, VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN! I thought Dan Quayle was stupid, but Ms. Barracuda takes 1st place. She scares the crap out of me! She doesn't know anything about the Constitution. Especially the part about separation of church and state. She would be an embarrassment to our nation world wide. Please send Ms. Barracuda back to Alaska and Mr. McNasty to a nursing home where he belongs.
- reallyandrea, on 10/21/2008, -12/+183Is she really this clueless? Or is this an act?
- Surferess, on 10/21/2008, -13/+164Seems to me the Republicans have tried to make the VP in charge of everything since Dick Cheney took over the position. That guy is a major control freak! If Palin thinks she is ever going to have that kind of power she is even more delirious than I thought. Luckily, she isn't ever going to be the Veep anyway. Thank God!
- Grova, on 10/21/2008, -9/+138Just go away......please.
- 1KrazyKorean, on 10/21/2008, -7/+122I think Tina Fey Would do better as a V.P.
- RRivera80, on 10/21/2008, -12/+116nice
- edcro, on 10/21/2008, -10/+99Jeezus, media. Wise up. The woman doesn't know what the heck she's talking about. Will someone please call her on it?
- OHOHYEAH, on 10/21/2008, -8/+85She said pretty much the same thing in the debate.
Looks like nobody on the McCain staff wised her up.
It is funny to think of her trying to boss around some of the old bull Republican Senators. Hatch? Specter? Others? All others? Not to even mention the Democrats. Oh, good grief. Silly! - Dumbledorito, on 10/21/2008, -7/+83Sadly, I get the impression that among her supporters, a great many would agree that the VP is in charge of the Senate. Then, after hours of pointing out how incorrect that idea is, they'd fall back to the idea that the VP SHOULD be in charge of the Senate... unless the VP is a Democrat.
Then they'd go slash tires at an Obama rally, I guess. - rald84, on 10/21/2008, -10/+86"That’s something that Piper would ask me!" i'd put money down that "hair lick" piper knows the right answer
anyways, what really peeves me is the fact that Biden got the job of the VP spot on in the debate but the conservatives were somehow spinning it as he didn't know what he was talking about ("its in aritcle TWO!!!!!!!!!!!")
"Article I of the Constitution establishes an exceptionally limited role for the Vice President" - Clerg, on 10/21/2008, -5/+71This woman makes Dan Quayle look like a Particle Physicist
- magnolia17, on 10/21/2008, -3/+63Her answer is proof that we need more funding for education, and less to military conquests and Wall Street bailouts. Recommended Amendment: that all candidates must get a passing grade on Constitutional knowledge skills before being eligible to run for office.
- gwoydean, on 10/21/2008, -1/+55Digg for using the word dolt. She's been called incompetent and stupid so much, I think the Oxford Dictionary is thinking about putting her picture next to those words.
- IphtashuFitz, on 10/21/2008, -0/+51You could throw dozens of copies at her but it won't do a damn bit of good if she refuses to read one of them.
- dagnabbit, on 10/21/2008, -6/+57Why do I get the feeling that the Daily Show will cover this, and none of the "traditional" media will pay much attention?
- Cuchanu, on 10/21/2008, -2/+53In her defense, I've had the same job for over a year and still don't know what I'm doing.

..................................., - nimbletimble, on 10/21/2008, -7/+45Palin erroneously argued that the Vice President is “in charge of the United States Senate, Burger King menu ideas, GM auto construction, and of course the development of the up-coming Lost season"
Artistic license but hey.. - nycjap, on 10/21/2008, -5/+43Maybe she'll do an "Al Haig", and run through the Capitol hallways yelling, "I'M IN CHARGE! I'M IN CHARGE! I'M IN CHARGE!", until she's tackled by a couple of Congressional security guards and restrained.
Pew! Pew! - jessicaking, on 10/21/2008, -3/+41Just keeping talking, Sarah. Keep talking. Help us cement the Obama/Biden win.
- sullivanst, on 10/21/2008, -6/+43Seriously. Even if you ignore many years of custom, whereby the VP only presides over the Senate when a tied vote is likely, the presiding role in the Senate is almost purely ceremonial. The presiding officer may rule on points of order... that's about it.
If she tries to wield any more influence than that, I'm pretty sure Congress would gag her like they threatened to gag John Adams until he backed down. - Dhalsim007, on 10/21/2008, -7/+38The VP is the PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE and in charge of proceedings and announcing votes, even though the VP has no vote unless it's a tie.
- enantiodromia, on 10/21/2008, -1/+31she must be so intelligent she can hide her intelligence from anyone else who also has intelligence.
- Lucas123, on 10/21/2008, -4/+34OK. I'm a moderate who hasn't been strongly against McCain being elected, even though I'm voting for Obama, but this is down right scary. The VP only votes in a tie-breaking situation in the senate. I think I learned that in elementary school.
- oldhick, on 10/21/2008, -7/+36There's a difference between the title, President of the Senate, and what she said. Lets re-read her quote, "They’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."
No, that is false. She can NOT make policy changes. She will not be "in there with the senators". She made a mistake, but it is significant. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding as to what the VP does. - esmera1263, on 10/21/2008, -8/+37Yes, she's delusional, and yes, she's mis-informed. The scary thing is that she's also power-mad, and very certain that SHE is CAPABLE of "running the Senate" and being a Cheney-esque figure. Don't fail to take her seriously -- she is the perfect Disney villain -- a beautiful woman with a heart of ice. The inherent sexism of our system will probably keep her down -- god help us I hope something does. And re that food taster -- if he should win I'll bet McCain doesn't make it through two years with her at his side. She's been campaigning for this slot, folks, and she wants it, badly. I think she is like W in that she actually believes she is capable of the job, and quite likely because God has told her so. "Black Magic Woman" by Santana should be her theme song
McCain, who has let the hunger for power twist him into a caricature of himself, is a fool for selling out his country to attain the presidency. Imagine thinking that we women are idiotic enough to equate Sarah Palin with Hillary Clinton simply because they are women!! How stupid does he think we are? And how can he possibly equate Palin's experience with that of his good friend Hillary? Sarah Palin is the sort of hateful "religious" person who gives me the creeps -- using prayer almost as sorcery to meet her needs. We are so fortunate to have such a superior candidate -- SUCH a superior candidate -- appear in this time and place, when the heart and soul of this country are once again at risk. I will never forgive John McCain for choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate; in so doing, he has chosen to appeal to the fearful ignorant parts of the body politic. She is a fascinating mix of glittering knives, sexuality and sparkling smiles, rich royal colors and her fake "aw shucks" speak -- a perfect comic book villain but oh let us keep her out of governance! - inactive, on 10/21/2008, -3/+31..……………………….„~"¯¯¯”~„

/Thank you for being a complete failure at life. - justbloggin, on 10/21/2008, -0/+28She had the annoying condescending voice of a 5th grade teacher. But definitely the intellect of a 5th grader...What was McCain thinking?
- 5celery, on 10/21/2008, -6/+33how folksy and wrong
- publiclurker, on 10/21/2008, -2/+27"What was McCain thinking?"
*****! - IphtashuFitz, on 10/21/2008, -0/+25@Naieve: The full Palin quote includes this:
"They’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."
That is most definitely NOT part of the duties of the VP as far as the Senate goes. She can NOT "get in there with the senators" and make any policy. She can ONLY vote in the event of a tie. She doesn't even understand the duties of the job she's running for. - djangst, on 10/21/2008, -0/+25It's a power grab...before she has power.
So both? - magus_melchior, on 10/21/2008, -1/+25No one on the McCain staff told her otherwise, because they believe it, too.
Remember, a good number of them are former Bush advisors, and "Unitary Executive" Dick Cheney and his lawyer, "It's Legal Because He's the Prez" David Addington indoctrinated all of them. - Lucas123, on 10/21/2008, -4/+28Actually, I did know that, but it still doesn't change the fact that the VP does not "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."
I did go to college. - fishbeef33, on 10/21/2008, -5/+29Wishing it to be so doesn't make it true, Sarah. Could it be more obvious that Palin is just a power-hungry figure who feels entitled to be in charge of something? Being Vice-President isn't enough, she needs to LEAD a group of people.
John McCain really will need to hire a food taster if he makes it to the Oval Office. - phantom_mullet, on 10/21/2008, -4/+27Digg me up if you think the facepalm ascii should be an automatic comment for any article with "Palin" in the title.
- bbtweb, on 10/21/2008, -1/+24This proves that the only thing scarier than having Dick Cheney as VP is going from him to Palin as VP.
- JumpingJack79, on 10/21/2008, -3/+26I wonder if she can name the three branches of government and tell why they're separated.
But I have a feeling she believes that the president is in charge of all people in the country, and the VP is in charge of everyone except the president. - Loonacy, on 10/21/2008, -0/+23But she reads everything put in front of her, she said so herself.
- Cuchanu, on 10/21/2008, -1/+24She's smarter than a 5th grader I'm sure. She's just VERY narrow minded. Ask her about moose hunting, fishing or something else that she cares about and she probably could give you a semi coherent answer. But up until 3 weeks ago she didn't give a ***** about anything not covered in snow and it shows.
- cquinnd, on 10/21/2008, -7/+30Obama is a constitutional scholar, he would not have made that mistake.
Biden has more senate experience than McCain, he would have not made that mistake.
Not knowing the job description you have been vetted to fill, is a mistake. - icewater, on 10/21/2008, -2/+235,000 year old Earth makes her an intelligent woman......right. Witchcraft makes her intelligent? Hmmmm, methinks not.
- DreKor, on 10/21/2008, -0/+20Here's the problem with your argument. If she's elected, she WILL hold that kind of power. Why do you think her campaign hasn't been correcting these statements? The plan is for her to follow in Cheney's footsteps.
- MaxK, on 10/21/2008, -0/+20Or most anyone else for that matter...
- Naieve, on 10/21/2008, -3/+22I'm voting for Obama.
Yet the Constitution labels the Vice President as President of the Senate.
Just saying... -
