Richard Cohen has some chuckles at Sarah Palin's expense in his column today:
"She found whole new powers for the vice president by misreading the Constitution, if she ever read it at all..."Well, the laugh's on Cohen, who has no excuse for being such a nitwit after so many years in Washington. Palin said:
"I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate "There’s only one role the vice president has under the Constitution other than waiting in the wings in case he has to become president, and that is to preside over the Senate. In that capacity he has as much or as little power as the Senate, which writes its own rules, chooses to give him - hence the 'working with the Senate' part.
Everything Palin said is exactly right...

When you interview for a job, here is a hint: make sure you know what the job is. Joe Biden failed that test last Thursday. He couldn’t even get right what a vice president does, but the media didn’t notice. The media is all over itself about how smart and experienced Biden is.
Political 'analyst' Charlie Cook is quoted in the Washington Post on Saturday as saying “Biden is clearly so much more knowledgeable, by a factor of about a million.”
[what bias?]
