    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?

    He looks like someone who has peculiar, unsavory personal habits. Like someone who picks his nose while watching TV and smears the deposits under his chair. Like someone who sniffs his toilet paper after he wipes himself.

    This piece was packed chock-a-block with crap that I've already read/heard/assumed/divined, etc. This isn't a criticism of the piece as much as it's a wake-up call that I need to get a frigging life.

    @rosaluxembourgeoise: An hour ago I was stuck in traffic behind a plumber's truck. On the back was a garish bumper sticker reading "SARAH" in huge letters with a red apostrophe. Beneath, in small type, it read "McCain / Palin."


    What IS it about plumbers?

    @Weegee's bored: Lizard-brain Nixon atavism. Remember, the Watergate thugs were called "plumbers". And at least half of them now have jobs on FOX News.


    (Rick Perlstein's Nixonland has been invaluable campaign season reading- startling how little changes, amazing that disgraces like Liddy, Rove, and Buchanan are received in polite company, rehabilitated, considering what they were up to back then, filthy-tricks department.)

    I see a certain Dentonesque irony created by a website constantly reporting the lay-offs in the magazine industry and then -- Thanks, Gawker! -- a summary of this special issue so that I don't have to read -- let alone buy -- the bloody thing.

    @smithhimself: if you seriously aren't going to read a 5,000 page piece which was already readily available online (starting a couple days ago) because ten paragraphs of it were reposted on other websites...well...sir...you weren't going to read it in the first place.
