    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

    Oh, and if you're trying to poke fun at Vice Prez Biden for weeping during the debate when he spoke about his first wife and baby daughter who died, well then, that's just messed up. #joebiden

    @Conchie Birdie: One might argue that it was the worst kind of political hackdom for him to bring them up expressly to show his "empathy" side and try to squeeze a tear out of his plastic-surgeryized eye slots. #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?

    Oh, he definitely needs to stick around! Few things delight me more than informing a Republican/Libertarian douchebag who approvingly cites the Drudge Report that Drudge is a homo.

    Drudge makes a milly a year and is still relevant -- all from surfing the Web. Everybody at Gawker except Denton works harder than Drudge and for much less money. It pains me to say it -- but advantage Drudge.

    I'm still shocked to hear that he ever was influential. To whom exactly? I'll come to Gawker for my off-center news. At least it makes me laugh. Drudge makes me want to avoid American cheese products.

    I know he's not popular here, but I love Drudge. Where else but his website can you learn that a parrot saved a girl's life, that Terry McAulliffe is preparing to run for governor, that temperatures are down in 2008 and that we will all soon be "odor printed". The mix of fantastically well written headlines and the quirky nature of what he chooses to report on will keep Drudge around for a while. His problem at the end of the election is that he tried to change the race rather than just report it. Hopefully he learns from that mistake.

    Oh God, kill me now. Jack Shafer, Slate's master of Beltway mediocrity , of course defending poor lonely hateful sadgay Drudge in his moment of utter humiliating disgrace.

    Just because people have been "predicting Drudge's demise for nearly a decade"- (really? I thought he got his start with Lewinsky dirty talk)- doesn't mean it isn't true that yes, that bitch is done, and over with.


    Discredited. That crazy girl who carved her face that he trumpeted? Ignominious defeat for Drudge and his cheap bazaar of right-wing slander.

    Shafer standing up for his buddy- kiss of death, there.
