From the Writers of The Daily Show: What a VP Does

Overheard in the writers room: Governor Sarah Palin misspoke recently when she told a curious third grade class that the vice president was "in charge of the US senate, so if they want they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy." What are some other misconceptions Palin has about the responsibilities of a VP?

* The vice president can also shoot lasers from her eyes and gets to ride a magical pony to sleep every night.

* A big part of the vice president's job is putting thousands of tiny classified ads in newspapers across the country. It's just that simple? Yes it is.

* The vice president also gets to break ties on American Idol.

* She's the president of vices: smoking, drinking all that stuff.

* She's like the president's cleaner. If he's got a body to get rid of, that's her job.
