    Biden was the most inscrutable choice, ever, for VP. Instead of "change" Obama brought out an old hack, who had trouble with both truth telling, even during the campaign, and with inserting his foot into his mouth. Oh, to know what kind of negotiation that was, to get him on the ticket---except, perhaps to allay terrified old white guys who feared a woman and a (half)black man on the ticket would bring on the apocalypse. #joebiden

    apparently I am in the minority, but I love Joe Biden! I think he's like the lovable Steve Urkel of the White House. He comes in, says stupid stuff, knocks shit over, and is like "Did I do that?" Oh Joe. #joebiden

    Joe Biden is everything thats wrong and fucked up with congress. This dope won his seat in the Senate when he was 29 and has never had another job until being VP. He has learned about as much about how the country works from his perch in DC as Palin learned about Russia from staring at it. He is walking proof we need term limits.

    And he doesn't drink. I don't trust people who don't drink, unless they've already been alcoholics. #joebiden

    Why is it that I feel compelled to defend Gawker's subject matter against the editors/writers at least once a day lately?

    Either this new crop of staff writers is utterly fucked, or the editorial direction has taken a nosedive, or both.

    Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden

I should have added before that it could well be my OS and browser causing headaches most readers don't experience. And in all fairness, I haven't been reading long enough to judge contemporary content against the past. #joebiden

    Not sure what point you're trying to make, Amrita... that you think Cheney's worldview makes some sense? That Cheney was initially popular, before everything he did brought his popularity rating to a low of 28%? I love it that Biden is willing to call a moron a moron. This is a ridiculous post. #joebiden

    I'm absolutely NOT a supporter of ANYTHING Dick says... but, Good Lawwd, Biden, Bin Laden will always BE a part of the issue. I'm sorry, I guess if you had the prez saying this I could understand... but, uh, Joe? Nope.

    That being said, why are we posting crap from Fox News anyway - I thought we weren't supposed to take this stuff seriously?

    In reply to Sasstasstic Amy Sacco Shoots Shuttering Rumors Down: Bungalow 8's Coming Back
    Well, the calls to Bungalow 8 are being unanswered because the line has been disconnected, so I don't think the "source" is that stupid. I think this story is more about Amy Sacco than Bungalow 8; she's just trying to milk every limelight that is fading away from her. By the time Bungalow 8 is re-launched, the celebs that will be seen there would be TomKat's and Brangelina's kids. #bungalow8

    And no, Bungalow won't recover. Just an immutable law of NYC nightlife. If Carrie Bradshaw was hyping it, it is so over, we need a new word for over. #bungalow8

    @Baroness: I found this whole article bizarre, because I left NYC 15 years ago, and I can't believe this is what passes for a hot spot. Back in the 1980's, when I was a Young, these people would never have been allowed past anyone's velvet rope. Kenny Kenny manned the doors with an iron fist and a velvet clipboard. I guess now it's all about being a junior trader at Goldman Sachs, and not about how well you wear your sequinned bustier with matching sequinned baseball cap. Geez, I really am an Old. I think I'll go have some milk. #bungalow8

    I feel sorry for the man standing alone in the grey scarf, upper center of the picture. None of these alluring, glamorous, ultrasexy Bungalow denizens will talk with him. Look at all those supermodels, frolicking like gazelles- he doesn't even exist. Bret Easton Ellis is about to call it a night and head home for a good cry. #bungalow8

    @Baroness: I don't recall what it was, save I was there as a guest. It was one of only two times I was there, and yes, the second time involved the Shah of Iran's demon seed dancing on tables, so I would assume the above event is/was not indicative of the general run of things chez Sacco.

    I am almost certain it's me. Crap eighties haircut, check: gay grey scarf, check; clutching on to my drink for dear life, check; being ignored by the finance-peeps, check.

    But thanks for thinking I look like Bret Eaton Ellis (at that distance, anyway), because I always thought he was teh cuteness. #bungalow8
