Is it scary that Palin admits that she doesn't know what the VP does?

Question

In an interview, just 2 weeks ago she freely admits that she doesn't know what the VP does. Exact words something like, "About that VP thing, someone needs to explain to me first exactly what it is that a VP does..."

Scary...here is the link (actually like to a Daily Report parody that includes the video of Palin saying she doesn't know what the VP does.)

Answer 1

I was curious too on her recent comment about "travelling out of Alaska?"  And wondering if she'd been back to the continental states since college.  

Answer 2

It is indeed scary.

Obama/Biden 08

Answer 3

Extremely Terrifying.

Answer 4

YES.  If she's being considered for the job, she should have done some research.

Answer 5

Teddy Roosevelt said the office should be eliminated. I don't hear much about that. When did you become an expert in the duties of the Veep?

Answer 6

A VP has three responsibilities

1.  To vote if there is a tie in the senate, and vote the way the Pres. says.

2.Help get their party's Pres. nominee elected.

3. Duties as assigned by the Pres.

I think Palin was being satirical when she asked what exactly does a VP do (all day).

Palin would actually be bored as VP, AND, I think if she got too "out of line", she would be reigned in by the Pres.  

So that is what she was asking about.

And BTW,  since when is reforming our government to be delegated to the number two person.

WE need more people Like Palin.  But not as VP

Answer 7

No not really I mean I don't think anyone really knows what the VP does these days, other than preside over the Senate. So no it really does not worry me at all. I'm glad McCain picked someone with executive experience. Obama has none and neither does Bidon. So I think she has a few legs up on them two and even on McCain.  

Answer 8

not as scary as a presidential candidate who sat in an anti american church for 20 yrs.

Answer 9

Besides over the Senate that depends on the president.Some leave the VP out of the loop look up VP Harry Truman when Roseavelt died he didn't know what Franklin had been up to with WW II.    

Answer 10

The VPs duties are:

Becoming President in the event of death or resignation of the Pres.

President of the Senate

The informal roles include:

Drafter and spokesperson for the administration's policy,

as an adviser to the president,

as Chairman of the Board of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,

as a Member of the board of the Smithsonian Institution

and

as a symbol of American concern or support.

She could advise McCain on the best place for his buddies to drill in Alaska;

as Chairman of the Board for NASA…LMAO;

as a member of the board of the Smithsonian, she would just want to put her dead moose, bear and salmon in it

and

as far as American concern or support. Concern/support for those that can line their pockets.

Answer 11

I saw that as a joke.  All a VP really does is wait til the President dies, and everything else, does anyone know?  

Answer 12

No.

Answer 13

She also didn't know much about Iraq.  That's the woman we want following a very old man with health problems, right?

Answer 14

Apparently Palin is looking to d**k Cheney for guidance. She just did another video today where she said, "When do I get to start shooting lawyers?"
