What does the Vice President do?

Senator McCain has already defined it, as most know. For anyone who hasn't seen him define the role of the VP, here it is:

Sorry Sarah, according to John, your duty as VP isn't to be in charge of the Senate like you claimed. According to John, your duties are attending funerals and waiting for John's death.

Sarah, when his people told you to say you're in charge of the Senate, he punked you and you don't even realize it....even now.

He just, apparently, doesn't have any remaining integrity to speak the truth anymore and you don't have the basic knowledge to know, well, anything of importance when it comes to the constitution.

This is for you, Sarah. Now you can learn from your Maverick's own words what the Vice President's duties are. Sarah, since you now know what The Maverick defines it as... go ahead and let him know as well. He seems to have a gaping memory hole.

This is a diary to comfort myself as much as anyone else but this is primarily for Blueocean and those in similar shoes. I've read Blueocean's diary as most of us probably have.

I'm at a loss of words other than ranting about how our Democratic leaders in a Democratic Congress should not be allowing this to happen, but I don't know what exactly they can do. We're on the verge of watching millions of our fellow Americans go homeless and once that happens, it's hard to recover.

When I lose the ability to put these thoughts into a place in my heart and mind that I can deal with, I turn to music.

Hopefully some of it will help others who are at their wits end tonight as well.

[UPDATED WITH VIDEO AT THE END]

Joe Lieberman appeared on Fox News Sunday and all but said that he would speak at the Republican National Convention if he were to be asked.

His answer was beyond comical, it was a disgusting lie he told in stating that he would not attack Obama (something he has done countless times already, putting the lie to his statement) but simply tout the glorious John McCain.

Chris Wallace asked him the question in the context of him losing his leadership positions in the Democratic Caucus by speaking at the RNC.

The transcript of that question is below the fold. To sum it up, Joe doesn't give a shit if he loses anything from the Democratic Party, he's simply serving McCain no matter the consequences.

Senator Reid, are you awake yet?

Harry Reid, it's time for you to take action on Joe Lieberman. Period. But Democrats have been telling you this bit of common sense for awhile now, haven't they. What's it going to take, Harry? Joe has endorsed and campaigned nonstop for John McCain and yet you still protect his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee. This has gotta stop.

Anyway... tonight's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, which I've been looking forward to in order to see if KO would put Liz Trotta there, didn't disappoint.

He did, but due to her apology, she placed 3rd. Joe Lieberman took Worst Person in the World for his plans to speak at ...wait for it... Reverend Hagee's upcoming conference (yes, the same Hagee that praised Hitler as the hunter of Jews sent by God). Let that sink in.

This is going to be a brief diary but I think this video clip should be spread around to show how truly vicious those on the far right truly are and how accommodating Fox News is to this extremism.

Today on Fox News Channel, Liz Trotta, was asked to comment on the Hillary RFK statement. Here is the part that should simply make any decent person feel like vomiting or breaking something, one of the two:

Sure, she's not the first to call Obama "Osama" but I'm guessing she's the first on a national cable news network to openly state that it'd be great if both Osama and Obama could both be killed.

And she found it hysterical.

Unbelievable.

The Vanity Fair RFK cover story is an excellent article that I recommend everyone read. There are excerpts below the fold.

The thing that strikes me about RFK is directly related to Obama... he was a person who brought right and left together, a unifier, a person who was speaking out against the war, and arguably someone who would have won the presidency on an anti-war platform who went even further than Obama in speaking out on our imperialism and war crimes.

I think RFK would support Obama if he were still around today...and we'd all be the better for it if RFK were still around today.

Before you read, please watch Bobby's speech where he had to announce to his rally that the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. had been murdered.

Update: 3:29am - Scroll past the fold for some major caveats and clarifications based on info in the comments.

You've gotta love the accuracy of the trio of CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News Channel. CNN & MSNBC are just as bad as fox at times. This moment just after 2am is one of those moments.

They are all reporting a 10 point lead for Hillary Clinton at 99% of precincts in when that is over a full percentage point off according to the actual results.

Pennsylvania SOS Results Site:
The actual results, right now:
With 98.91% reporting:
Clinton 54.3
Obama 45.7

So it's a single-digit victory for Clinton right now with just about 1% left to report, right? A 8.6% margin of victory for Clinton? Simple math, right? That's what you'd think.

According to CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, you don't know how to do simple math. They're apparently glad to help you learn the new math.
