Chris is right on this, of course. However, I would like to see him derive some of his other political opinions based on a strict reading of what powers are actually granted to the national government in the constitution rather than forgetting about it until it is convenient to bash a political opponent with its contents.
It funny how she's giving "technical" answers to defend Palin's mess. Palin clearly said that the VP is in "charge of the Senate and change policies whenever he wants". She's so owned
In fact the only time until recently, that the VP didn't bring the President's agenda to the Senate, and preform executive duties in the Senate was when the VP's offices was vacacted to do death of the President or VicePresident or when it wasn't necessary as if times when the nation's parties were on the same page as was during WWII.
Palin was right even Obama in his lectures as a Constitutional professor has stated the same thing.
the price of her sneakers????!!!!!!... that's all u have in rebuttal??... Hannity slamed Obama for asking for Dijon mustard on his burger!!!! all the shriveling Republican's can complain about are shoes and condiments - how very sad...
the word "president" no longer means what it did during the writing of the constitution, and that becomes evident when you read the longer explanation of the role of the VP in the senate directly after that quote. They traditionally COULD NOT even promote their president's agenda, and by law, they have NO ROLE in the senate in terms of legislation save for a tiebreaking vote, which rarely happens.
Mr. Matthews direct question. I have always voted for whom I thought best to do the job. I have realized that I was wrong, until this election. I got one right. The only reason Pres. Obama may be impeded is the opposition, Republicans and Democrats with their hidden agendas.
i love Obama, but Nancy Pfotenhauer is a sweetie. i would love to hang out with her. we'd probably just watch TV or something. funny movie. family guy episode. whatever.
Every time Palin speaks it becomes more obvious how unprepared she is; and what she doesnt know.
She STILL doesnt know what a VPs job is. Even 3rd graders know this. Aliens who want to become citizens know this. You would think the person applying for the JOB would know this. Running for VP is just that. Its APPLYING for the job. Palin has been asked 4 different times; and she still doesnt know what the duties are!
The formal powers and role of the vice president are limited by the Constitution to becoming President should the President become unable to serve (e.g. due to the death, resignation, or medical impairment of the President) and acting as the presiding officer of the U.S. Senate. As President of the Senate, the Vice President has two primary duties: to cast a vote in the event of a Senate deadlock and to preside over and certify the official vote count of the U.S. Electoral College.
Palin is an Idiot and she is surrounded by Idiots whoo even don't know how to answer simple question and stay on the subject!!!! This sourroudings says something about McCain too.
Funny that people post this political stuff. Seriously, get a life.
The fact is no matter who is elected, we're pretty screwed. America has developed a seriously bad culture and Washington is simply a reflection of it.
Tell me one single thing that will change for the better in your personal life after this election. Regardless of who wins it.
That is a very cynical view and for the most part I agree with you (I've seen enough) yet as we've seen with this financial crisis the people in charge have the power to make your life much worse so you should probably care about it. Maybe I'm being naive, but I really think Powell was right when he called Obama a transformational candidate. He's not just another politician and will change things. That's why conservatives are so desperate to sink him. They know it too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What the heck! Nancy was totally right about what a VP does, and this news bozo says she doesn't know, and then he says exactly what she said about what the VP's role is! Who does this guy think he is?
Here's a question, if Vice Presidents don't have any power, why do I hear all this stuff from Democrats about how much power Cheney has?
The answer is very simply. VP is not supposed to have that much power. Cheney simply abused the office beyond belief. If the media was as liberal as conservatives like to believe they'd really go after him on this and he'd probably have to resign at best, be in jail at worst.
OMFG Dude seriously... He never repeated the retardation that nancy was spewing back at her as fact. The constitution leaves no room for interpretation on the role of VP. As far as Cheney goes he makes absolutely no sense... he has a man size safe in his office and stamps "super secret" on "top secret" documents and uses a decoder ring. He is a nutjob just like the rest of the administration.
Since GW Bush's advice for any and all crisis in America is to go shopping, Sarah was simply doing her patriotic duty. Albeit, considering that the McCain camp gets matching federal funds for their campaign, partially on the TAX PAYER DIME. She has a SOCIALIZED WARDROBE (sorta like Eva Peron).
Pfotenhauer keeps trying to defend Palin by asking why the VP wouldn't have policy "discussions" with senators. WRONG! Palin specifically says: "They're in chage of the United States Senate" and that they can "make... policy changes". Sorry Nancy - Palin either intends to improperly exert control if she's elected or doesn't understand the basics of the VP office. Either way, she shouldn't be elected and you lose. Also your smile looks like it's about to split your head in half.
What the heck! Nancy was totally right about what a Senator does, and this news bozo says she doesn't know, and then he says exactly what she said about what the actual role is! Who does this guy think he is?

Is it just me or does Nancy Pfotenhauer and Cindy McCain both look like all you can see move in their faces are the eyeballs. Way too much botox, facelifts, whatever. Too much money to spend.
Sarah Palin was right and Chris Matthews was WRONG!!!!
FACT: Vice President Dick Cheney has a regular POLICY luncheon with Republican Senators. Not President Bush, but VICE PRESIDENT Cheney. Why? Because as Vice President, he has a presiding role over policy development, especially in his party's caucus.
ANOTHER FACT: The job of a journalist is to report the news fairly. Chris Matthews sure is one to be criticizing the job responsibilities of others when he can't even perform his own.
As President of the Senate, the Vice President has two primary duties: to cast a vote in the event of a Senate deadlock and to preside over and certify the official vote count of the U.S. Electoral College.
Except for this tie-breaking role, the Standing Rules of the Senate do not vest any significant responsibilities in the Vice President.
The confusion arose when Sarah, as usual, failed to separate the two constructs from each other and sophomorically amended the "vice president is in charge" with "policy making" role that the vice president plays in the congress. Chris being a partisan hack pundit, took by its horn and entirely misconstrued the intend. Sarah needs to learn to utter her statements in a distinct construct rather amalgamating incongruous tropes lump in one.
People should stop watching Fox and MSNBC, all together.
Matthews might have jumped on it too much, but Sarah is an idiot who can't even get the simplest concepts down which makes her utterly unqualified to run a small business let alone be a VP of the US.
Matthews absolutely Kills her, Palin, and the whole RNC here LOL Will you please say something and not let them just destroy themselves LOL Epic Disaster!!!
The Funniest thing is that the other guy is just sitting back enjoying the show like the rest of us. This Clip is the ultimate!!! The RNC in like the sinking Titanic's and the hull is taking on tons of water Matthews Mangles this poor poor woman if I was her I would have resigned right after this interview. He keeps rolling the clip Classic.Owned Owned Owned.
Yes, it is a problem that Palin doesn't know the constitution. It is also a problem that she has no intention of respecting the boundaries of her job description. Like Bush.
Wow. Nancy Pfotenhauer never learns her lesson! Stop appearing on these talk shows you idiot! Just keep embarassing yourself Nancy, your plastic cyborg!
Did you ever want to slap a woman across the face, and shout "wake up!"? Not me, until now. Don't worry I'll contain myself, but please... get that fool [Nancy] off the TV.
Incidental is definitely on to something. Cheney is the most powerful VP in American history, period, and much of that is based on Dick's own personal moxie, and Bush's willingness to defer to advisors. I really think Palin assumes that Cheney's model is the gold standard for how a VP can and should act.
Except that, as much as I hate Dick for being an evil Constitution breaking weasel, he actually has a brain. If McCain gets elected, he's already seen enough to keep Palin around only in a cheerleading role. Give her some pompoms. That's all she's good for.
Ranndino: I think we're basically agreeing here. I think you're alluding to the Brian Williams NBC interview, where McCain looks visibly uncomfortable sitting next to Palin during a basic Q&A. I agree with that.
Pfotenhauer has no choice but to do her job, which is to spin the truth. Don't envy her position.
That's true, but no one forced her to get a job which basically consists of lying all day. I know plenty of people in similar positions and they pride themselves on how good a lier they are and possess zero ethics. So don't pity her too much.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have no doubt in my mind that Obama is going to win because the media are being so bias in every aspect of this election! Maybe the media can tell us how much money they made.
Yes, it's the media's fault. I wonder how Bush won twice with the same media around. Especially the 2nd time when he already fucked everything up in the first 4 years. Think about that, birdbrain.
Listen @ 4:55 when poor Nancy's voice quavers, and try not to laugh. The McCain/Palin ticket is indefensible, and deeeeep down, Ms. Pfotenhauer has got to know that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Matthews has quite a history of being derisive, patronizing, and downright hateful toward women of power. He tried to singlehandedly take down Hillary Clinton, and contributed to her narrowly losing the Democratic nomination. As a woman, it disgusts me to watch him acting so superior to women of all levels when he so clearly needs to get a major clue!!!!!!!
Go back and listen to Pfotenhauer try to defend Palin's claim that she would be IN CHARGE of the Senate--Pfotenhauer and Palin deserve to be condescended to. If a male VP candidate including Biden said he would be IN CHARGE of the Senate he would be taken down as well.
A male with Sarah's resume and skills would NEVER be McCain's pick as VP, and we all know that. She's there to shake her ass, smile, and rally the mob. That's it. The role for Female VP candidates is STRICTLY proscribed in the Republican Constituion.
I guess Matthews has not read Article 1, which says quite clearly that the vice president is president of the Senate. All powers of the president of the Senate are conferred by the constitution on the vice president. He just has no vote unless a tie-breaker is required. ALL THE OTHER POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE ARE ENTITLED TO BE EXERCISED BY THE VICE-PRESIDENT. PALIN IS RIGHT Not to mention that Matthews is obviously a male chauvinist; he derides this woman, hates Hillary&Palin
The Vice President of the United States is designated by the Constitution as the President of the Senate. The Vice President holds a tie breaking vote in the Senate and does not usually preside over the Senate. Since its conception, the role of casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate has been exercised 242 times. The Vice President of the United States with the most tie breaking votes is John Adams with 29.
I apologize for your misinterpretation. You were very close. Does not preside over.
Nothing you've written here says the VP is IN CHARGE of the senate. Matthews may very well be a chauvinist but when female politicians make stupid comments they should be criticized. When Joe Biden makes stupid comments he's pilloried like crazy in the media. Either you are trying to deflect away from Palin's idiocy by claiming sexism or you expect special treatment for female politicians? What's more sexist?
Article 1, Section3, Clause 4:The vice president of the United States shall be president of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
Article 1, Section3, Clause 5:The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a president pro tempore, in the absence of the vice president, or when he shall exercise the office of president of the United States.
Even what you've printed here does not back up Palin's claim that she would be IN CHARGE of the Senate. And her saying she would be IN CHARGE of the Senate would only cause difficulty when she actually has to interact with the Senate.
Sarah Palin probably got her misconceptions on the role of the vice president because that's how John McCain explained it to her when he sat her down.
"Now, Sarah, if you want to, you can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes..."
That frozen smile on Nancy Pfotenhauer's face, and Michelle Bachmann's too for that matter is just chilling - it is creepy and oozes superficiality - stop grinning and make some sense people!
I'm big for Obama but Matthews sounds just like bill'o. Yuck. He needs to stop being an ass and just make his logical point without being a fuck head. He needs to stop being a dip shit and stooping to their level. BOOOOO. And not just cause it's Halloween.
This isn't a billO thing, because Nancy is on the show every other day and she's just a talking head and he's trying to get a straight answer out of her, not shouting his own view at her. Big different.
Hes definitely not Billos level, he just trys to keep rambling down most of the time.
Even when he interrupts to get in a question, he does let them complete a point.
Listen, watch him only cut in when they try to bull him or drag on.
For example, he asks about clothing trying to get an answer from her. she says she doesnt know, he asks again, she again says she doesnt know but bigger issues should be talked about. As she is saying that to get to the next point he says he agrees and moves on.
In the other questions shes able to complete her answers.
Chris also never cuts people off completely, calls them hateful names, or yells at them though he does get a bit frustrated when they lie, and you should be smart enough to know when the guests are lying, not about opinion, but facts, like constititional powers.
It is more than terrifying that the McCain/Palin ticket has any supporters at all. They are so clearly anti-American that you you just have to marvel at the success of keeping the American educational system dumbed-down so that candidates like McCain and Palin can have an electoral base.
I like Matthews and I support Obama, but he's nitpicking here. He makes it sound like the VP should just sit in an empty office waiting for a tie vote in the Senate or for the President to die.
Hey grkinn----thats basically ALL they are REQUIRED to do. Read the Constitution. Sure, they do other things, like talk to foreign heads of state and other little things here and there, but Matthews is talking about their REQUIREMENTS, so if you call that nitpicking, then the founders were nitpicking too---moron.
Actually, that is much it as per the constitution. Though, V-P does do more than that in practice.But again,the question was specific to the constitution and those guys up there should know that.
Telling a 2nd grader the truth is more important than spewing talking points. Who, other than Palin, doesn't know what the VP does? The VP has only TWO duties in the constitution. Who doesn't know that?
HOLY SHIT... and folks wonder why Hillary wants to stay a Senator - she will run shit. Palin needs to take a closer look at everything that Hillary says and she could save herself.
Sarah is in la la land...she doesn't know anything about our country or our history...she definitely doesn't know about our political process...if you vote for her and McCain you are voting for a retarded America. Who is the fake face lift talking head? Nancy needs to give up surgery.
I understand he gets overly excited at times but in this case it is totally warranted when a vice-presidential candidate who is as close as ever of assuming the Presidency has no freakin idea what the VP's job is according to the Constitution.
Hmmm..Palin, as a governor, with all of that executive experience, made public appearances, went to meetings, took on the "good ole boys." So what's the deal? Surely to God she had some business attire in her wardrobe. It seems she has a history of getting all of the freebies she can for herself and her family.
Well she's paid to put on the good face, unfortunately she looks like a bad ad for face lifts gone wrong..but hey, she can argue and divert like a pro if she is allowed...ha, ha, he got her...it made her botox work overtime on that one!!
i think that palin if they win is going to fuck us all with her bat shit crazy thinking not only that but my 9 year old niece knows more then that stupid pathetic wast of skin my god and people love that retard well they loved corky to if anyone knows who im talking about
Pfotenhauer is a scumbag and a liar! You can see her swallowing hard here. She knows this dingbat Palin made another stupid statement. This is pathetic. Palin has not even read the U.S. Constitution. She may have looked at it, but she certainly has not read it. 2 more weeks of this shit!
Why does that Bitch keep smiling? her face freaks me out.

The VP takes the Presidents agenda to the Senate.

The Funniest thing is that the other guy is just sitting back enjoying the show like the rest of us. This Clip is the ultimate!!! The RNC in like the sinking Titanic's and the hull is taking on tons of water Matthews Mangles this poor poor woman if I was her I would have resigned right after this interview. He keeps rolling the clip Classic.Owned Owned Owned.

Yes, it is a problem that Palin doesn't know the constitution. It is also a problem that she has no intention of respecting the boundaries of her job description. Like Bush.

Incidental is definitely on to something. Cheney is the most powerful VP in American history, period, and much of that is based on Dick's own personal moxie, and Bush's willingness to defer to advisors. I really think Palin assumes that Cheney's model is the gold standard for how a VP can and should act.
SonnyAmou 3 years ago 3
Except that, as much as I hate Dick for being an evil Constitution breaking weasel, he actually has a brain. If McCain gets elected, he's already seen enough to keep Palin around only in a cheerleading role. Give her some pompoms. That's all she's good for.
ranndino 3 years ago 3
Ranndino: I think we're basically agreeing here. I think you're alluding to the Brian Williams NBC interview, where McCain looks visibly uncomfortable sitting next to Palin during a basic Q&A. I agree with that.
Pfotenhauer has no choice but to do her job, which is to spin the truth. Don't envy her position.
SonnyAmou 3 years ago
That's true, but no one forced her to get a job which basically consists of lying all day. I know plenty of people in similar positions and they pride themselves on how good a lier they are and possess zero ethics. So don't pity her too much.

Matthews has quite a history of being derisive, patronizing, and downright hateful toward women of power. He tried to singlehandedly take down Hillary Clinton, and contributed to her narrowly losing the Democratic nomination. As a woman, it disgusts me to watch him acting so superior to women of all levels when he so clearly needs to get a major clue!!!!!!!

Go back and listen to Pfotenhauer try to defend Palin's claim that she would be IN CHARGE of the Senate--Pfotenhauer and Palin deserve to be condescended to. If a male VP candidate including Biden said he would be IN CHARGE of the Senate he would be taken down as well.
dbmcvey 3 years ago 3
A male with Sarah's resume and skills would NEVER be McCain's pick as VP, and we all know that. She's there to shake her ass, smile, and rally the mob. That's it. The role for Female VP candidates is STRICTLY proscribed in the Republican Constituion.

Slayerfan84 1 year ago
I guess Matthews has not read Article 1, which says quite clearly that the vice president is president of the Senate. All powers of the president of the Senate are conferred by the constitution on the vice president. He just has no vote unless a tie-breaker is required. ALL THE OTHER POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE ARE ENTITLED TO BE EXERCISED BY THE VICE-PRESIDENT. PALIN IS RIGHT Not to mention that Matthews is obviously a male chauvinist; he derides this woman, hates Hillary&Palin
autumntimer 3 years ago
The Vice President of the United States is designated by the Constitution as the President of the Senate. The Vice President holds a tie breaking vote in the Senate and does not usually preside over the Senate. Since its conception, the role of casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate has been exercised 242 times. The Vice President of the United States with the most tie breaking votes is John Adams with 29.
I apologize for your misinterpretation. You were very close. Does not preside over.
aphexmandelbrot 3 years ago 2
Nothing you've written here says the VP is IN CHARGE of the senate. Matthews may very well be a chauvinist but when female politicians make stupid comments they should be criticized. When Joe Biden makes stupid comments he's pilloried like crazy in the media. Either you are trying to deflect away from Palin's idiocy by claiming sexism or you expect special treatment for female politicians? What's more sexist?
dbmcvey 3 years ago 3
From the United States Constitution:
Article 1, Section3, Clause 4:The vice president of the United States shall be president of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
Article 1, Section3, Clause 5:The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a president pro tempore, in the absence of the vice president, or when he shall exercise the office of president of the United States.
autumntimer 3 years ago
Even what you've printed here does not back up Palin's claim that she would be IN CHARGE of the Senate. And her saying she would be IN CHARGE of the Senate would only cause difficulty when she actually has to interact with the Senate.
dbmcvey 3 years ago
Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to those wretched new-age politicians who almost ruined our country.
BKDevious 3 years ago
Sarah Palin probably got her misconceptions on the role of the vice president because that's how John McCain explained it to her when he sat her down.
"Now, Sarah, if you want to, you can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes..."
What a disaster.

These people always being so proud when they get off another talking point like.
The republicans are always smiling as much when lying as when telling the truth (if they even do any more) and no matter how serious the subject.
Scary...

I'm big for Obama but Matthews sounds just like bill'o. Yuck. He needs to stop being an ass and just make his logical point without being a fuck head. He needs to stop being a dip shit and stooping to their level. BOOOOO. And not just cause it's Halloween.
qtonic 3 years ago
This isn't a billO thing, because Nancy is on the show every other day and she's just a talking head and he's trying to get a straight answer out of her, not shouting his own view at her. Big different.
JohnHyperion 3 years ago
Hes definitely not Billos level, he just trys to keep rambling down most of the time.
Even when he interrupts to get in a question, he does let them complete a point.
Listen, watch him only cut in when they try to bull him or drag on.
For example, he asks about clothing trying to get an answer from her. she says she doesnt know, he asks again, she again says she doesnt know but bigger issues should be talked about. As she is saying that to get to the next point he says he agrees and moves on.
waltermh111 3 years ago
In the other questions shes able to complete her answers.
Chris also never cuts people off completely, calls them hateful names, or yells at them though he does get a bit frustrated when they lie, and you should be smart enough to know when the guests are lying, not about opinion, but facts, like constititional powers.
waltermh111 3 years ago
It is more than terrifying that the McCain/Palin ticket has any supporters at all. They are so clearly anti-American that you you just have to marvel at the success of keeping the American educational system dumbed-down so that candidates like McCain and Palin can have an electoral base.
