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
@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? #joebiden
It's Creepy and Creepier, but he's Creepier and he is repulsive. He does likes to project his fantasies. A few years ago, he commented on Maria Shriver's "porno-star hairdo." WTH? [nymag.com]
In an interview about his book, he called Rupert Murdoch "henpecked" because the media exec apparently has listened to his wives' views in the past.
Regardless of what one might think of Regan, women should be alarmed that Wolff is trying to use the old sleazy, sexist trick of shaming her with her sex life.
Regan's books made bank so she was tolerated by the higher-ups at HC. That nonsense about her saying something anti-Semitic was just that. Regan is a LOT of things (like crazy as a shithouse rat) but she's not racist. They played that hand all wrong.
The big cost for HC was the subsequent putsching of Jane Friedman. An awesome old-school broad, the likes of which are dwindling.
@BookishLatkeish: Absolutely agree. I don't think she was doing anything wrong, and she has a great attitude.
I heard somebody describe HC as a brothel and say that she was the perfect Madame, which makes perfect sense. I mean this in the most positive sense imaginable.
Thanks for pointing this out. Crazy -- yes. Racist -- no.
I've met Judith twice. Like a lot of successful people, she seems to have no perspective on her self and the way others see her. For some people, this lack of self knowledge is the source of their power.

Is there some negative correlation between the quality of stories and the quality of AJAX/CSS? #joebiden
