TheHill.com - Palin won’t say whether veep is an executive post
Vice President Dick Cheney has said his office only partially belongs to the executive branch. Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden disagrees and Republican rival Sarah Palin isn’t saying. Quote:
“Unlike Dick Cheney, Joe Biden won’t have to create a full employment plan for lawyers and scholars to clear up something that was unquestioned for about 200 years. The vice president is part of the executive branch, period. End of story,” said Biden spokesman David Wade.
In turn, a spokesman for the Republican presidential campaign did not answer the question. Instead, he e-mailed remarks Palin gave at a campaign rally in Golden, Colo., on Monday.
Palin did not say what branch of government she believes the vice president’s office is part of in those remarks. Instead, Palin said she and Republican presidential nominee John McCain had discussed what responsibilities she would take on as his second-in-command.

Ask a straight question and get a Cheney-esk answer. There is no way I want another VP doing as he/she pleases without being held accountable.

There is no way I want another VP doing as he/she pleases without being held accountable. | Don't pretend to even understand the constitutional issues at play here and attempt to extend some judgment over the reasonableness of Palin's comments on it.
I love poseurs like these who believe such constitutional questions that have been raging for decades and decades have simple answers because they prefer at this moment in time to agree with Joe Biden.  | |

Your intellectual dishonesty.
You may think it was straight-forward question. But the answer ain't as straight-forward as you're suggesting which is the basis for attempting to smear Palin as Cheney-like.
You're an intellectual poseur who just got drilled for posing. | |

I'm not surprised by this. There seems to be a lot of things she can't go into in depth discussion on.
