What in the name of Alexander Haig is Sarah Palin talking about? Haig, you may remember back in 1981 pronounced himself as being "in charge" of the country, after then-President Ronald Reagan was rendered incapacitated by a gunshot wound. Uh, one problem. Haig was Secretary of State and somehow forgot that the line of sucession, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution would first go to then-Vice President George H.W. Bush. Gov. Sarah Palin may now want to brush up on the words of America's most scared document which states that the vice president is "president of the senate," and would cast a vote to break a tie, not, as she said "in charge of the senate" as if she would be managing it, if elected to the vice presidency. She also said she could "work with those senators and make policies." Uh, no you can't, governor. That job belongs to Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. See the video of this unbelievable gaffe from an interview Palin did with a Colorado TV station, explaining what she thinks her role would be, to a question submitted by a second grader. Mark Green of Air America Radio called Palin's comment "constitutionally ignorant." We call it just plain idiotic. And we wonder if somewhere a second grader might be better qualified to be vice president than Caribou Barbie would be.
