The Dynamic Duo

Just a quick addendum to my last post on the VP debate.  Did anyone else soil themselves a little when Palin asserted that the constitution allowed for the VP to exert more power if they chose to?  After Cheney, I think we should all be able to agree that the mere thought is terrifying, but I have a hard time believing that she was willing to say it aloud.  I wonder how much the press has picked up on that in the US?
