I know wingnuts aren’t supposed to know jack about the US Constitution, but this is getting rigoddamndiculous.
Q: Brandon Garcia wants to know, “What does the Vice President do?”
PALIN: That’s something that Piper would ask me! … [T]hey’re [sic] in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they [sic] 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.
It burns.

Teh stoopid, it burns… it burns…!
Palin is probably fairly stupid- but more importantly, like Bush, she doesn’t really care what the facts are- it’s all about makin up a song that sounds sweet if yer a small town racist in Mississippi.
Somebody should ask her how the electoral college works.
Nor does she care, BT.
She is channeling her inner Evita Peron.
WOW!!! REAL Exit poll results by an avid McCain supporter. Save this and make it famous:
http://americannonsense.com/?p=15898
The Neocon Express just spent a depressing 3 hours conducting an exit poll at a Las Vegas early voting station. The Location was in a more affluent Western suburb of Las Vegas, on the edge of Summerlin; More specifically, at the Vons shopping center on Rampart, between Charleston and Sahara. It was a glorious day in Las Vegas so what better way to spend a few hours than by hanging outside a polling station and randomly sampling voters, right?
Nevada is a swing state, and the middle to upper middle class suburbs of Las Vegas, like this location, are a crucial indicator of how the state might go. Early voting started at this location yesterday and the lines have been long and non-stop all day, with people waiting in line an average of 45 minutes to cast their votes.
I randomly interviewed over 150 voters after they cast their ballots. I stood outside with a clipboard and certainly looked the part of a pollster. My question went like this: “Hi, I am conducting a quick, random exit poll; of course all participants are anonymous. Was it John McCain or Barack Obama for you?”
I could not possibly have talked to everyone who voted during the three hour time frame but I got a very good random sample. The results were devastating to me.
Let’s get to the results:
Obama: 70%
McCain: 26%
Other 4%
If I calculate the number of people who declined to give an answer, than the breakdown went like this:
Obama 53%
McCain 20%
Other 3%
Declined to participate: 24%.
My gut instinct tells me that the vast majority of those who “declined to participate” were McCain supporters, but of course, I have no way of knowing that for sure.
snip
Anyway, that’s how I spent three hours of my weekend and as a McCain supporter, it was deeply depressing. McCain will need to carry rural and Northern Nevada by a wide margin to overcome what will certainly be a devastating lose in Clark County.
Hahahahaha!!!
Palin has done something few have ever done: rendered me speechless.
She probably doesn’t know because, while it was one of the colleges she applied to, she was not smart enough to get in.
As little use as I have for the vast majority of senators, I admit it’d be something to see their response if she showed up in their chamber thinking thats what she’s about. Maybe Tina Fey is listening…
Can’t wiat for the “clarification:” to tell us what she “really meant.” or former VP Dan Quayle to explain to us that she’s right.
Please take the “sic”s off of the quote. She is using perfectly acceptable grammer (this time). “He or she” is cumbersome.
That’s the Rs way to GOTV.
I just want to know when Brandon Garcia asked this question and when it was answered. Was this recent or old news? If it was recent, why hasn’t she been disabused of her misconception of the duties of the office for which she’s running yet?
Wonder if Piper ever asked Sayrah, “How come the dog don’t bark when Brad comes around?”
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/65481
The tough part of the job for Tina Fey is picking just *which* of Palin’s events to parody. But then again, Palin is becoming a parody of herself already.
Oh, for corn’s sake!!! Really this is just too much. I may have to go self medicate
…the bad thing about Para-Sailin’ is they fly you above the sharks…
ROFL
If this doesn’t make the nightly news, then the MSM is truly dead.
/this woman is not to be believed. And who on earth would hire someone for a job for which that person did not even understand the job description?
crazy people, that’s who.
Piper: “Mommy, do ALL the babies come from Bristol’s tummy?”
Can’t tell you how many weekends the cali folks invaded nevada to canvass for the campaign. looks like all that work is paying off (there is no mccain ground game there)
the amazing part of tina’s performance is how close to sarah’s actual quote makes for grand humor
“Her inner Evita Perón” — Prairie Sunshine (#4) has it so right — it’s terrifying to me. The kind of stupid populism that Palin represents is so dangerous. Is this is the MSM?
…..the ignorance trickles down!!!!
A little “attitude adjustment” is most certainly in order!
I’m surprised that Palin hasn’t announced that her first act as Vice President will be to change the name of the office to the Moral President.
She would have been better off saying “It’s a secret.”
Heard yesterday that McBush now hates his veep candidate and the first dude-
Funny as hell!
the sad thing is, I don’t think she’s going away, even if McCain-Palin gets zero electoral college votes.
in charge of the senate…wow. someone grab this woman a copy of, ‘Schoolhouse Rock’ and play, “Three ringed circus” for her.
lmao
here’s gonna be the clarification. i predict so you head it here first.
Well, she was talking to a third grader so she didn’t want to get too complex and perhaps she oversimplified things. Also it is the VP’s job to really get in there with the Senators. Barack obama has siad that Joe Biden is going to be his “point man” on important legislation. Same thing as what palin said.
I think she’s going to have her own nice little right wing talk show, on TV or radio.
Is it too much to hope for that McCain loses and then spends the rest of his days bitter and regretting his choice of Palin?
Fox or Clear Channel.
Ya mean, this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5I2KFENjS8
Classic.
Is our children learning?
Where’s Drbong when ya need him!?
I’ve no doubt that’s how he’ll rationalize his ass-kicking.
Palin is Exhibit A when it comes to addressing our broken educational system.
Public education was advocated in part so that the electorate would be knowledgable and able to discern for themselves what they wanted to vote for. It was also to learn them some civics, like the constitution and bill of rights and process of governing.
I really want my country back from powerhungry ignoramusi
correction:
Schoolhouse Rock – Three-Ring Government
pass it along to the gov
yep LOL I posted a correction a little after your post *g8
It’s going to be Who’s Afraid of Sarah Palin?
Palin will hang around the Gooper party for some time- representing the part of the party that the party hates- gooper antigens will cover her person and attempt to nuetralize her- but her shrill voice will continue to shriek demanding a spot at the table.
I bought up all the schoolhouse stuff in case mr and I decide to breed *g*. It also helped him understand the american govt.
McCain will be remembered by goopers as the guy who actually invited one of “them” into the inner circle- he’ll not soon live it down.
And to think he wants the office where the buck is supposed to stop.
It’s and Executive AND a Legislative branch!
Yayyyyyyyy Sarah………She’s just like ME!
-Dick Cheney
Afternoon BT.
Sarah, the vice-president’s job is to shoot old men in the face.
“Hey- see here McCain- we’ve been getting the support of these religious idiots for years- there’s no need to actually HANG around with one of em- let alone make one a veep candidate- what in the hell were you thinking?”
Goopers
Well, good point. I doubt Bush knows what the Vice President does. Even now.
Yeah, I mean if someone came around my state and suddenly starting giving me free travel and designer clothes and introducing me to all these really cool powerful queenmakers, I’d find it hard to give it up.
Power is an intoxicating drug. And they just fed her habit with the pure high octane stuff.
She’s been an addict for years- and turns out the goopers didn’t find her- she found THEM and romanced em–took em out on helicopter rides and showed em her cleavages
LMAO from the comment section over at Think Progress
Q: Brandon Garcia wants to know, “What does the Vice President do?”
answer: anything she wants
well, we know she is capable of that
This will bring the GOP war into Defcon 5 levels.
The Dobsonites will allege McCain wasn’t mean enough.
The establishment elite will claim it was the anchor of the loony Dobsonian Sarah MooseKiller.
-G
Can’t you just see McBush seething as he reads the new polls that show her a drag on the ticket and decides that he REALLY hates her stupid ass?
I am guessing he would have a sort of Larry Craigish influence during the remainder of his career. He might actually get more courteous nods in a Democratic Senate.
Yep
This is gonna be worth buyin a ticket for– as the religiousos blame the moneyosos for not prayin enough and the moneyosos point out that the religious right are dumber than earthworms
McCain is angst filled little Napolean who wants to win the war he lost when he was shot down 40 years ago.
-G
Honestly, I think it’s less stupid than the usual descriptions from both Palin and McCain about what they envision her role as being. Usually they both talk about having her advocate for special needs children and such, and it’s clear that they think of her as First Lady (which seems to be the only role they can conceive of for a woman in their administration.)
Always wondered about McCain’s comments that he “knows how to win wars”
Certainly assumes facts not in evidence.
We know that he knows how to LOSE em.
Sirius or XM
Her show will follow Huckabee.
I can’t wait for the first interviews after the post-election stuff has died down, when McCain no longer has to pretend that he thinks she’s great and they start turning on each other. Ordinarily, it might take a year or more before a “tell-all” interview finally happens, but I don’t think McCain has that much self-control. He’ll explode much sooner.
Doesn’t President sit on the Vice President’s knee for all Grand Jury or special prosecutor investigations?
I think that’s right on. After she’s impeached/recalled in AK, she’ll find a home on Fox News with the likes of Hannity. Fox will offer her as their answer to Rachel Maddow.
I’d even watch, if it would keep her out of government.
Sarah = Katherine Harris. How long will it take for R’s to resist the photo op on the tarmac?
He clearly respects her more that he does his own adopted daughter, who he apparently referred to at least once as ‘that thing.’
When McCain was challenged about his supporters, he took time during the debate to talk about how he has the best supporters ever. He has already started to talk about Sarah being the best ever. McCain does not like to be challenged, after all we know he is a dis-honorable man.
Getting shot down and sitting in a POW camp isn’t exactly what Patton had in mind when he said the point of a war is to make the other son of a bitch die for his country.
McCain also knew how to advocate speedy retreats from Lebanon and Somalia. Two instances that Bin Laden took to mean the US was soft on troop deaths.
-G
She’s clearly begun to carve out her own positions on issues that are separate (and more conservative) than McCain’s. She’s positioning herself for 2012, even though she’s dragging McCain to defeat in 2008.
All but two of the daily tracking polls have published- bottom line- Obama up in three- down in one and two unchanged. (Battleground had a very bad day dumping three points for Obama and showing a mere one point lead).
Yep- and McCain has noticed this- no love lost between the two- as each tries to take advantage of the other.
The only vote she would garner in 2012 is the Evangelicals, and they are not enough to get her a nomination, let alone an election.

McBush decided to give the kid a chance and exploit her a little- little did he know what PALIN had in mind- and it wasn’t to be exploited.
She may be dumb- but she’s mean.
Still, I’ve been really impressed with all the things he “knows how” to do: win wars, end economic collapse, make the next four years better. I can’t remember all of the calm assurances he’s given us, I just know that Napoleon, Adam Smith, and Jesus never gave such confident assurances.
McCain is more competent at that.
It’s all part and parcel of his insufferable arrogance and false piety. I have never heard anyone, even in pro wrestling, spend so much time complimenting themselves and stoking their own virtues so unabashedly.
Leads me to conclude that he is gravely insecure.
-G
Haven’t noticed much piety of any sort in McBush
Jason Jones’ takedown of the myth of Sarah Palin as “mayor of Wasilla” last night on the Daily Show was sublime in its understatement.
No services, no schoolin’, no nuttin’ there, there.
Apparently some of the christian right is worried and are becoming survivalists- storing up several years of food and bullets in underground bunkers where their “families” can hide out the Godless socialist years…Gotta teach their kids ta shoot.
Oh, yeah. Every instance of her much-touted maverick “going against her own party” has been when she’s seen an opportunity to stab another Republican in the back for her own benefit, including former mentors. Despite McCain’s well-known anger problems, her blaming the election on him will probably be far more vicious.
She’s already setting him up- sayin that as far as she’s concerned the Rev. Wright stuff should be fair game- and makin other critiques of the campaign…when it’s all over- she’ll fry his old ass in public.
Maybe this crazy woman should have Piper answer the questions too.

Tom Ridge Expands on McCain’s Idiotic Socialism Arguments
Just one other bit of pettyness and trivia on my part: McCain was not a fighter pilot. The “A”, in A-4 Skyhawk, stands for attack. The famous conservative fighter ace, who flew an F-14, was Randy Cunningham. The earlier piston-engined plane McCain flew was designated in the Navy as the AD-6, which meant Douglas manufactured attack plane.
No, this shows what she really intends to do. She WILL be in charge of the Senate, dagnabit!
saw that. Monday A.M. meeting, Thursday sign checks. LOL
This is Palin’s Dan Quayle “potatoe” moment, only worse

Sarah Barracuda does not know what a Veep does, but did say she thinks the office of the vice president should have more power. More power? To do what ? I can’t wait for this to be over so she can sign her mege-deal with Fox News.
She needs to go on SNL for Tina Fey
