    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

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?

    It wasn't just "too-liberal" US Attorneys, it was any US Attorney, regardless of political stripe, who wouldn't bring corruption charges against the democratic elected officials and big campaign donors Rove wanted targeted. David Iglesias of New Mexico is no bleeding heart liberal.


    Unfortunately, Pareene, I also think you should have your champagne now. That raving milquetoast Barack Obama will never spend an ounce of political capital having Rove or any other Bush administration criminals punished.

    Judiciary officials report that the testimony was delayed several hours when Rove placed his hand on the bible to be sworn in, there was a loud hissing sound and smoke began to emanate from the book's cover. "It burns, it burns," Rove rasped painfully, before wrenching his hand free, reverting to the form of a bat, and flying for the open window while shrieking in pain.

    In reply to Daily Show's Most Outrageous Torture Clips
    You know I thought Bush was terrible. I voted for him, but we didn't know if there were suitcases w dirty bombs coming or what was coming down the road. It was a very scary time to awaken one morning and receive falling jets and crumbling skyscrapers. There was no Nazi plot to rule the world. We were flat out massacred on our own soil. If it took water-boarding to live and sleep easier at nite, so be it. But I still can't stand Dick C, Rove and their little monkey.

    @BlackXacto: Sorry, but your sleeping easier wasn't worth compromising what our country stands for. When we decided to give up justice and morality for a little security, we lost our right to be shocked or even offended by such attacks in the future. Now, we're just another country that tortures. The list is long and full of scum.

    @BlackXacto: Problem is, when America treats its detainees in such a truly appalling manner, it makes your enemies hate you even more (and for more concrete and personal reasons), which increases the risk of attacks.


    Furthermore, by stating that these "enhanced interrogation techniques" are acceptable ways of treating detainees, the U.S. government has indicated, however unintentionally, that these techniques are acceptable for other, potentially hostile, countries to use on American detainees. (There are a couple of American journalists being held in North Korea, for example, that are in an extremely dicey situation because of this.) It's The Golden Rule in action.


    I can't imagine anyone is sleeping easier because of this.
