But that's not the VP's job.
The question was:
http://thinkprogress.../palin-vp-senate/
Q: Brandon Garcia wants to know, ÂWhat does the Vice President do?Â
PALIN: ThatÂs something that Piper would ask me! Â
[T]heyÂre 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.
"... so if they want to ..."
Her answer is just wrong on so many levels...
Your spin on her answer would apply to almost anyone in the Administration - "I'm the Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Undersecretary of State for Water Resources in Upper Volta. I work with senators to make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better..." :-/
That's not her job as VP. Her job in the Senate as VP is to break ties on the floor.
Or she could be correct and say, "The VP helps the President." and elaborate on that based on work in the Executive Branch.
The VP doesn't "get in there with the senators and ..." any more than the Assistant does - and in fact less that person does since the VP almost never testifies before the Senate.
Cheers,
Scott.
