So let me get this straight...Sarah Palin, who bounced through five colleges to get her degree, still does not have any idea what the role of the Vice-President of the United States is?
How the hell has she managed to make it this far in life, let alone politics? While I can't say much about bouncing from school to school, as I am on my third, when I was in 8th grade, back in 1989-90, I had to take and pass a class on the U.S. Constitution to graduate and move on to high school. One of the things I learned...that the Vice-President does not run the Senate! The Vice-President is merely president pro tempore, which is just a title, and votes only in the case of a tie. The Vice-President does not help craft policy on the Senate floor, or anything of the sort. My mom, who had to take the same test back in the 50's, also knows this.
I'm sure Palin would love to be VP, where she can meander around in sweeping circles on the White House lawn, looking for things to shoot, but in the last few weeks, she has shown she wouldn't even be qualified to be "Queen of Alaska," a job more suited to her acceptance of a successionist movement in the very state she plays Governor of.
The running joke has been that Palin is not smarter than a 3rd grader, in reference to her latest swing and miss on the question of the role of the Vice-President (for those of you scoring at home, that was strike 4!), but I am now starting to question whether or not she is truly smart enough not to walk into shit without the help of her handlers, or perhaps one of those tennis balls on an antenna, like you see with people who can't pull into garages in their SUVs.
