A pitiful attempt to defend Palin's understanding of the Office she seeks

Already our favorite dipshit is echoing the talking points of the Palin apologists. She "watered down" the explanation since the question was asked by a third grader. To wit, any reasonable person would respond, where was the third grader in the room?

And his deflection to typical rabble is funny. Yes, the Vice President presides over the Senate, as stated in the Constitution. The Pope also shits in the woods, so tell me something I don't know already.

Presiding over the parliamentary procedures as a means to exert power is a dangerous game. To wit, the example of John Adams, who was perhaps the most active Vice President toward his Senate duties in history, but his activity nearly cost him his political career. Since there has been a longstanding tradition of VPs running for head cheese, they tend to relgate their formal duties to the President pro tempore.

Now, onto what Palin actually said:


That’s something that Piper would ask me! … [T]hey’re in charge of the U.S. 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.
Err... no, not really. The President of the Senate can make judgments on point of order and other typical rules of order, but they don't "get in there with the senators". Silly gibberish coming from someone who seems to have never been bothered to read the Constitution at least once.

But I expect nothing less from my favorite little dipshit. Keep on defending the worst vice presidential candidate ever.
