Video: Palin Doesn't Even Know What the VP Does

Wow. I hope Palin figures this out soon.

Here's a July 31, 2008 YouTube video post with McCain's VP running mate Sarah Palin asking :

"But as for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me: 'What is it exactly that the VP does everyday?'"

Here's the clip:

Great. Now someone go ask George Bush if he knows & can tell what Dick Cheney has been doing these past 8 years.

There should have been a follow-up question like "Do you know what the PRESIDENT of the United States does?"

No you don't. If you do, share your insight with us.

She made it clear that she doesn't want a do nothing - be nothing - make busy - position.

OK by me. You got a problem - spit it out - or keep quiet.

You know, sometimes I fell that I am living in an alternate universe. Where up is down and down is up and no one knows what the h*e*l*l is gong on.

LOL! Isn't that something? Palin, one breath away from the Presidency should America allow another election to be stolen, doesn't even know what a VP does?!?

So much for that touted 'executive experience' GOP and reichwing minions on Huffington Post are trying to sell us...roflmao!

This clip of her saying that needs to be in a Democratic Ad YESTERDAY! The sooner the campaign gets that out there the better.

Bill O'Reilly denied it exists on his show last night... does anybody at Fox know how to search youtube? I can picture Hannity saying "wait... what channel is youtube again?"

listen to that CNBC financial creep encouraging her. "It's a big job Sarah you might like it".... she seems to be in bed with big oil and big business, and so far she doesn't appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed... who does that remind you of? She's a perfect neo con puppet.

That's got to be an attack ad.

"What does the VP do all day?" WTF??????!!!!!!!

Apparently apply hairspray and paint their nails if this vacuous gun-nut bible thumper gets the job.

Oh dear!!!

"Palin Doesn't Even Know What the VP Does". Lobby for oil corporations, right? Seems likes she would be a natural.

The V.P. doesn't need to know what their job is, clearly, because McCain was a P.O.W. when she was a kid!

SO THERE!

It's become very obvious that the republican talking points are about her "experience" and how it compares to Obama. It's apples and oranges, and they are controlling the debate. Her lack of experience terrifies me, but more than that, her being a religious right wing extremist is even worse. This has to be an important part of the debate. Don't let the republicans make this about her being just as qualified as Obama.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

Hasn’t it occured to anyone the reason for McCain’s VP choice of Gov. Sarah Palin was because nobody else was interested in losing along with him?.

Gov. Sarah Palin has nothing to lose by making this run and is surely expandable among the Republican ranks.

Seriously,any politician with sincere aspirations to the White House would take a pass and wait another four years?.

Oh My.

Mrs. Palin will do what VP's had done most of the time during republican administrations (except G.W. Bush). Be kept out of the loop during the presidents most important sessions with his cabnet. Told that there is no need for them to come to the oval office this month...
Anyone else notice how McCain and Alaska seem to be in the same paragraph a lot?
