John Nance Garner famously said that the office of the Vice President of the United States wasn’t worth a bucket of warm spit.

Sure beats drinking every time Palin says “reform.”

After showing a clip of Palin’s interview with Katie Couric, rapper/entrepreneur Sean "Diddy" Combs admits in a trembling voice, "Sarah Palin scares me..she’s worse than the boogie man… Did you hear the answer to that question?…You gotta vote on November 4th, you gotta get registered!"
