Palin Still Clueless About The Job


When a third-grader asked her what the VP does, Palin said:
"That's a great question, Brandon. And a vice president has a really great job because not only are they there to support the president's agenda, they're like the team member, the teammate to that president, but also they're in charge of the United State 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. And it's a great job, and I look forward to having that job."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid responded via his spokesman:
"Governor Palin needs to re-read - or perhaps read for the first time - the Constitution," said Reid spokesman Jim Manley. "While the Vice President presides over the Senate, he or she is not "in charge of" it. Article I says, 'The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.' The Senate is part of a co-equal branch of the federal government."
