Odd things to say...
Sep. 3rd, 2008 12:35 pmIn an interview about a month ago now, Larry Kudlow of CNBC's "Kudlow & Co." asked Sarah Palin about the possibility of becoming McCain's ticket mate.
Palin replied: "As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I'm used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question."

So my thoughts--obviously this is taken totally out of context, and that should be kept in mind. I haven't read the whole interview, and admit as much. But I would like to point out that aside from brutally dismissing the role and usefulness of the vice president, the grammar in the above statement is horrible.
On the other hand, and in her defense, leave the lady's kid alone! For Pete's sake, people, can you honestly say that nobody in YOUR family has ever done something someone would consider scandalous? Bristol is not the one on the ticket, leave her and her expected baby alone.
