"What is it exactly that the VP does every day?"

Republikanernas vicepresidentkandidat, Sarah Palin, fick den 31 juli i år frågan om den pågående granskningen av hennes avskedande av en hög delstatstjänsteman kunde tänkas diskvalificera henne som möjlig vicepresident. Hon svarade så här: "I tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me - what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"

För min del kan jag därför redan nu föreställa mig följande reklam:

Speakerröst: "The Republican presidential candidate John McCain has finally chosen his running mate. It's governor Sarah Palin. Here's what the governor had to say on the last of July this year about a possible bid for the vice presidency,"

Övergång till TV-klippet där Sarah Palin svarar: "I tell you, I can't answer that question until somebody answers for me - what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"

Därpå speakerrösten igen: "The Democratic candidate for president, Barack Obama, named senator Joe Biden his running mate because he really knows what a VP does. And that's exactly why I'm going to vote for the democratic ticket on the fourth of November, and that's why you should too - at least if you want a president and a vice president who know what they are doing."

Klippet där Sarah Palin uttalar sig finner du här. Börja titta vid ca 2:40.
