Palin is a YouTube Gold Mine

I feel like every other day there is a new viral video clip of Sarah Palin getting passed around the internet. You would think someone in McCain's camp would have locked her away from doing anymore interviews because it seems like she gives the Obama campaign a new piece of gold every time she speaks on camera.

In this clip that's being heavily trafficked today, Palin, in response to a 3rd grader's question states the job of the Vice President is to be, "in charge of the United States 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."

I guess significantly overstating the role and authority of the VP is better than her saying she doesn't know what it does, like in this clip.



In case you were wondering, "As President of the Senate (Article I, Section 3), the vice president oversees procedural matters and may cast a tie-breaking vote. There is a strong convention within the U.S. Senate that the vice president not use his or her position as President of the Senate to influence the passage of legislation or act in a partisan manner, except in the case of breaking tie votes.
