What I find ironic is that the VP is (traditionally) in charge of NASA and the space program. Palin being the boss for rocket scientists.

Of course, spacey fits.

Anyway, space exploration would have made a more interesting answer.

If anyone has fallen for TC’s disinfo, here is Chris Matthews doing a good job explaining the role of the VP, and an equally good job schooling Palin’s handlers who are probably the ones whispering this nonsense in her ears.

Chris Matthews tries to extract a coherent explanation of Sarah Palin’s comment that the vice president of the United States is “in charge of the United States Senate” from McCain aide Nancy Pfotenhauer. Over an eight-minute stretch, she’s totally unable to defend Palin’s ill-informed claim:

IDEA: Anyone out there who actually want McCain to win (not me, although he’d definitely still be an improvement on Bush) needs to kidnap Palin and convince Tiny Fey to step in. She can look like Palin and talk like Palin, probably has more foreign policy experience (don’t we all) and even if she were to carry on in a completely idiotic Palin-like manner, would at least realise that everyone was laughing at her.

What can one possibly expect from a person who believes people walked the earth with dinosaurs 6000 years ago when God created the universe? Or someone who responds to a question about what are her sources of information as “all of ‘em.”? Or someone who voted for legislation in her podunk town to require rape victims to purchase their own rape kits so police can investigate? Or someone whose husband was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party for 7 years, with her support? Or someone who has to read from a script at a debate? Or someone who “hunts” moose from an airplane? Or someone who thinks they have foreign policy experience because they can see a small piece of Russia from somewhere she’s probably never been? Or someone who thinks Vladmir Putin “rears his head” with sites set on Alaska? Or someone who doesn’t know any other Supreme Court landmark decisions besides Roe v Wade (what about Bush v Gore, or Brown v Board of Education?)? Or someone who refers to Afghanistan as a “neighboring country”? The list goes on and on.

YOU are a moron without the brains God gave a common garden slug. You come in here and repeat the stupid talking points you were TOLD to believe by your hivemind masters and its just sad. Yeah Obama made a slip of the tongue when tired and so what. Even a moron as obviously stupid as you must know that Obama doesnt think there are more than 50 states I could tell you exactly why I support Obama but why throw pearls before ignorant swine. It is also too tiresome to pick out words of one and two syllables you would have some hope of understanding as stupid as you are. Go play with the other special children and let the adults talk

Yes you ought to be sorry. The Senate is a deliberative body NO ONE IS IN CHARGE OF IT. Every Senator has a vote it is their JOB to vote and the VP can ONLY vote in case of a tie and is IN NO WAY in charge of the Senate. I suggest you READ the constitution AGAIN and you will see that NO ONE IS PUT IN CHARGE OF THE SENATE. This is actually pretty simple.

In reading this post and the replies I can see the facts don’t matter but here it goes.
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/President

the presiding officer of a governmental body

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/presiding

to exercise guidance, direction, or control

So you post right there from the Constitution what the job of the Vice President is then when she correctly answers a kids question about the job you rag her? Facts and logic don’t mean much here.

The Constitution defines the rule of the Executive Branch not Merriam Webster dictionary. It is obvious the role of the Vice President is not to exercise “guidance, direction, or control” over the Senate, except if there were a tie vote. Some airhead with a $150,000 wardrobe strolls in and you republicans are ready to completely redefine the 3 branches of government…….THIS is why people are falling themselves to vote you guys out.

Amazing the people still posting that she got it wrong when she nails it. People keep saying they don’t understand how John McCain picked her but the more bizarre pick in this election is Obama. Palin has worked and owned a business, been a Mayor, and a Governor. She has a track record of leadership positions in politics and business.

Lets see..you are comparing a Havard Law review graduate, community organizer, lawyer, and Senator with Palin…a journalism grad who was mayor of a town with the population of two large highschools before becoming a Governor found to have abused her powers in office. Not only that, she doesn’t even know the role of Vice President. And her disgusting attacks on Obama (at what can accurately be described as “hate rallies”) shows the depth, or rather, the “shallowness” of her character. And you STILL don’t get it. Palin is now the #1 reason people are voting against McCain, EVEN MORE THAN BUSH! Get with the program.

TC: “More importantly, the notion that the vice president can preside over the Senate only when there is a tie vote is simply wrong. Nor is it true that the only legislative involvement the vice president has is to break tie votes. The vice president is the president of the Senate, where he interprets the rules and can only be overridden by a vote of 60 senators.”

There’s a reason why of all the places this story has been carried you are THE ONLY one with this dangerous interpretation. Its because you are are wrong. You’re actually suggesting the Vice President can craft legislation with the senate and essentially carry out the duties of the SENATE MAJORITY LEADER. Well, that would pretty much end the separate-but-equal 3 branches of government, wouldn’t it. People don’t be fooled by the troll simply because he acts like he believes what he says. Does any sane person think that Cheney wouldn’t have gobbled up these powers if he thought he could get away with it or knew of some off-the-cuff angle they could interpret the constitution like TC did to give himself these powers?

Palin is dangerous. Both because she is entirely unqualified for the position and because she would seek to expand the powers of the Vice President (as she said during the VP debate). The public now fully sees in her a risk big enough that they are avoiding the McCain ticket like the plague. When Nov. 5th hits, trolls like these will all but disappear (unless they do it on their own time).

Palin has demonstrated so far in her political life a disregard for appropriate professional boundaries on such a scale that it wouldn’t surprise me at all if, were she to actually become VP, she would feel free to disregard any currently established protocol and would “get in there with the senators” to push the McCain/Palin agenda. Given that there is actually some historical precedent for such activity (as JD in NJ and alpuz3 have noted) and that it wouldn’t be illegal, it would be consistent with her “maverick” approach to Washington to do exactly that.
I will certainly do my part to see that she doesn’t get the chance.
