Florida fifth-grader now understands vice-president's role better than Sarah Palin

At about 3m45s in to this report, Damon Weaver, of Canal Point Elementary School in Palm Beach County, Florida, asks a visiting Joe Biden to explain the vice-president's role. Biden, true to form, then spends about nine hours doing so. (Hint: the answer doesn't include being "in charge of the Senate".) One imagines that this causes Weaver some arm-ache, due to the height differential, but he valiantly soldiers on, in what is incontrovertibly the cutest political interview you'll see all election season. I wish he'd asked Biden for a bit more detail on Obama's plans to double funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and challenged him on NAFTA, but you can't have everything. [YouTube]
