    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?

    In reply to Howard Stern Fan Pranks Deadly Serious Fox News
    Howard jumped the shark when he divorced Allison. Which was a long time ago.


    Sometimes the BaBaBooey thing has been funny but this isn't one of them.


    When all the networks cut away from an NBA playoff game during the OJ chase way back in the mid 90s, one of Howard's callers pranked (Peter Jennings or Tom Brokaw?) a big network because they were so pissed off that every single channel was carrying this idiocy.


    They called as a neighbor of OJ's but they had put on an Amos and Andy voice and said, "I see OJ. He be looking mighty scared." And he ended with BaBaBooey. If you could ever find this clip, it's one of the funniest things ever. The anchor didn't even flinch even though the voice was so exaggerated and obviously put on. No one felt sorry for him.


    That was probably one of the last times Howard's listeners were funny or interesting. It should have ended then. Howard isn't relevant and this isn't the 90s.


    Idiots.

    I remember when some idiot did this during the local reporting of Flight 800 killing a few hundred in the Long Island Sound, and apparently the douche rag who did this today didn't have any compunction about doing his phone masturbation on CNN. So I guess my question is whether Howard's listeners aren't all just a bunch of serial wank artists like their hero.

    Why don't they re-institute the 7-second delay? Do they have to be break news that instantaneously that they can't put on a fucking delay to stave off shit like this?


    Keep in mind, Janks has done this to about 100 other media outlets, so apparently the ditching of the delay is across the board..

    You gotta be f'in kidding me. Did I fall into a mid-nineties time warp? This EXACT same thing happened during and after the OJ Simpson white-Bronco-on-highway-and-TV chase.

    @AndPreciousLittleofThat: Nooo that was actually timeless... it was a different guy who pranked Peter Jennings with the "I see OJ and he look scurrd! Holy Mackarel" bit.. As tragic as it was that Nicole & Co died, I did enjoy the fact that this guy pulled a great call on the retarded media gawkery going on. "Now lookee, here.."

    At least the pranker let's them in on it at the end. Most guests on cable news spew the BS without revealing that they are just acting.

    Hey, Howard Stern. Yeah you, with your multi-million-dollar contract and your satellite radio gig somewhere in a climate-controlled, sound-proofed, non-hell of a cushy studio in Midtown Manhattan, well away from the blood-bathed halls of a building in Binghamton. Will you have the fucking balls to take responsibility for the actions of your listeners and apologize to the families of those slain, you fucking jackass? Do you have an iota of decency left in your aging-yet-puerile-minded body? If so, apologize. And tell this fucker to call you an when he does, tear him a new one for taking advantage of a tragic situation. You have nothing to lose but an inbred lout of a fan. Go on, I dare you.

    @Aaron Altman: He pretends to not be an accessory to those shenanigans, but back in the day, Howard himself called Air Florida after they crashed off a DC landing strip bridge into a freezing river (and about 12 people died) and asked if he can book a non-stop flight into the Chesapeake River or something.. real funny.

    @AndromedaGodinka: There is something to say for civility and basic decency, but I think it's important not to overestimate the public's real commitment to these values. Fox viewers' values more often stop at "No gay sex".
