    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

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?

    WHY CAN'T ANDERSON BE SHIRTLESS ALL THE TIME?????????????


    and why can't we sanction Michael Phelps's face? Like the conditions of the interview need to be that his head is covered and that he can't speak.


    He's one who could definitely benefit from a Joan Holloway speech:


    "Go home, take a paper bag, cut some eyeholes out of it. Put it over your head, get undressed and look at yourself in the mirror. Really evaluate where your strengths and weaknesses are. And be honest."

    After hearing of the gasps of shock emitted by Clay Aiken fans when he came out a few months (not years?) ago, I have developed a deep fear that thousands of middle Americans will commit seppuku the day after Andy finally appears on the cover of Out Magazine.


    And, I still think Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are lovers, but no one will believe me.

    @MissNormaDesmond: Hah! Good point. But seeing as Phelps's manager or whatever waved off a $5 MILLION offer like someone says "no thanks" to a waiter offering to fill your water glass, I imagine the negotiations for pulling that segment off went something like this:


    60 MINUTES PRODUCER:

    Okay, can we talk?

    PHELPS MANAGER:

    Sure.

    PRODUCER:

    Besides the ride-along, the sit-down, tour of his Baltimore apartment et cetera, we'd also like Anderson to do a fun segment with the Phelpster.

    MANAGER:

    Did you just call my client "The Phelpster"?

    PRODUCER:

    Oh, is that not okay?

    MANAGER:

    Damn skippy it ain't.

    PRODUCER:

    Sorry. With Michael.

    MANAGER:

    That's more like it.

    PRODUCER:

    So will he do it?

    MANAGER:

    Michael is really tired of the swimming thing.

    PRODUCER:

    Whaaat? Liar.

    MANAGER (giggling):

    Yes okay, I was joking.

    PRODUCER:

    So we can get them in the water?

    MANAGER:

    It depends.

    PRODUCER:

    How about a little race?

    MANAGER:

    Is Anderson just trying to get Michael in swim trunks?

    PRODUCER:

    Um -

    MANAGER:

    Because he'd be totally cool with it.

    PRODUCER:

    Really?

    MANAGER:

    The more you know!

    PRODUCER:

    Oh mah GAH is Anderson going to make news with this segment?

    MANAGER:

    Depends. Can we work Subway into the piece?


    The rest, as they say, is history.

    Phelps never learned to cover his mouth when he yawns. The boy needs to learn some manners.


    Getting into swimming trunks and swimming with Phelps was a gutsy thing for Cooper to do. I can't imagine any of the other "60 Minutes" guys trying this... nor would I want to.
