    In reply to Nobody Loves Weepy VP Joe
    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

    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?

    Hmm, when conservatives called liberals unpatriotic, the liberals screamed and moaned, and the media analyzed it for weeks.


    But I guess it's ok for liberals do it.


    You'd think as head of the CIA, ex-political flack Panetta would have more important things to worry about.

    It's an entertaining thought, since we are talking about Cheney. But I try not to entertain it. This subject would just take full circle and make liberals want to seem like they are the ones who hope we have a terrorist attack in order to prove that in fact Cheney wanted one just to say "I told you so," to prove he is nefarious in character. I just try to ignore the man. For christ's sake, he looks like the devil for crying our loud! Let's just all be relieved that Dick is out.


    I kind of didn't mean that pun, but maybe I did.

    @Tristan Alécksandt: But then the right would say I told you so about the left saying I told you so about Cheney saying I told you so and the cable news networks would have weeks of a non-debate to cover. Wolf Blitzer would eat that shit up!

    Eventually he'll just be screaming at the cold, cold night. All because he could never own up to being the abject coward that he is.

    Considering that the torture fun was ended by Bush in 2005, Herr Cheney seems to be arguing with more than just Obama.
