Oh my God, I just watched Palin's "The VP is in charge of the Senate" comment.
That was, seriously, one of the most shamefully ignorant things I've ever heard in a Presidential campaign. That's basic Constitution 101. There is zero excuse for that kind of ignorance. She seems to be doing the impossible...she's making George W. Bush look like Thomas Jefferson in comparison.

Every time I think that she's plumbed the depths of sheer, outright stupidity, she surprises us.

1. We saw that last night and both my girls, INCLUDING the 12yo
went :wtf:


Seriously, a 12yo knows more about the rule of law than that fucking nitwit. McCain should be ashamed.

2. Coming from someone who thinks the Founding Fathers wrote the Pledge and "under God"...
It's no surprise.

She's an embarrassment and she MINORED in politics! How did she miss all of this VERY basic stuff?

3. She thought the Constitution said marriage is between a man and a woman. This is small
potatoes compared with that. Heck, even the Bible doesn't say that.

4. I know, the 1st time I read a thread about it, I didn't give it much thought.
I thought she probably just said something about being in charge of the breaking vote in a tie. But when I finally heard what she said, I thought she was joking.

And she said absolutely nothing about taking over as the President of the United States if the duly elected president died. To me that is the most important job of the Vice President.

8. Palin's jacket in the video clip looks very familiar!


Same jacket Palin is wearing in the 2008 presidential race?

7. Biden already corrected her once during the debate. Is this yet another instance?

10. We won't be able to see the Senate smack her down if she tried to take control.
