    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

    @Motoko Kusanagi: From where I'm standing, it would appear to be a positive correlation. It's a good day when I get tripped up by fewer than five unresponsive scripts, infinite waits for comments to load or what have you. #joebiden

    @Motoko Kusanagi: Oh yeah, I didn't mean to quibble. I agree that the site gets fancier all the time, but features seem to break often. 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?

    Richard--pearls after swine, truly. More genius alchemy, turning a morally bankrupt, horrifyingly magnetic piece of television into art. I had resisted this hot mess o' high school but caught last night's episode and now that I read your brill deconstruction...well, I guess byBravo's got me again.

    But these kids scare the crap out of me. Despite their awkward, adolescent posturing--it's all a little Bugsy Malone, isn't it?--their striving and misplaced self confidence is terrifying. Jessi wants to be in 'p.r. or marketing'? When I was in high school I didn't know what p.r. WAS. I STILL don't really know what 'marketing' is. And I fear I see the Great Crash of 2035 foretold in P.C.'s blase sense of entitlement...

    @DorothyBarker: Marketing is the business of discovering what people are not yet insecure about, and then manufacturing/exploiting said insecurity by developing or repurposing a product, the purchase of which will (temporarily) assuage that insecurity.

    @Richard Lawson: What would it take to get you to "guest recap" in the future? I don't yet have a firstborn, but I'm willing to create one and hand it to you. On a platter. Wrapped in a naked poster of Zachary Quinto.

    On a totally unrelated note, anyone know where I could get a naked poster of Zachary Quinto?

    I do imagine you won't be a stranger here in comments occasionally. Thanks for your wonderful work, you've made the recap an art form. An imaginative writer, you'll go far, dear.

    Exactly how tall is PC? Because that photographer had looked kind of short, but in their shoot he towers over our wee closet case. Is he Tommygirl-sized?

    Also, I actually squirmed in my seat during that whole fashion shoot sequence. He was so wrought with insecurity and thwarted desire. For the first time I saw him as the pitiably awkward little kid he is.

    I think Camille is my favorite. And I got the impression that halfway through her interview with Jessi, she decided that, no, she was not going to be able to tolerate smiling and nodding and sucking up to Jessi, not even for Operation Smile and Harvard, so she just decided to say fuck it and unleash her bitchface.

    Another thing that I find interesting is that Camille and Jessi both have sort of freakish eyes that are distracting and off-putting. In Camille's case, I think, "Oh, she's so close to being pretty, if it weren't for her eyes! I wish they would line up properly." And in Jessi's case, I think, "Ugh, what a monster, I can't even relate to her like she's a human being."
