    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

    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?

    That's what you call an an efficient sex scandal.

    I still haven't forgiven the Edwards. I'm sorry she has cancer and I think I have loved her above all political people ever--true warmth and smarts. But that they went ahead and ran that jackass for Prez is beyond goddamned stupid and irresponsible to me. After what Clinton went through you just don't effing go there.

    @FarleyPapus: surprisingly (and not surprisingly) that did not get as much mainstream coverage. white America don't know or care who Swizz Beatz is, but you would think that it would go public on the strength of Alicia's good girl image.

    @Sproing: Yeah, but Edwards' affair kept him from advancing politically where he might not have advanced in anyway, whereas Spitzer's affair not only cost him the highest office he'd yet earned, but was so high-profile, due not only to its cost but also to its patent illegality, hypocrisy, and head-scratching stupidity, that his political career is way more over than Edwards, which had arguably already hit a wall.

    @Bulkington: How did Edwards's affair keep him from advancing politically? Wasn't he already out of the race when the story finally broke?


    To me, the whole "I only cheated on my wife while her cancer was in remission" reeks of the ultimate smarm, and out-sleazes Spitzer naked except for black socks.


    As someone else alluded to, Vito "The Cheato" Fosella blew up his career with a DWI arrest that wound up revealing his second family.

    @The One: You're right. My bad. But again: what did it cost him? He didn't lose office, for which he had sworn to uphold the law, by breaking a law he had prosecuted people for by way of earning his way to the office he lost, and (as far as we know) he wasn't serially cheating on his wife with sex workers whom he begged to let him fuck without a condom.

    @Bulkington: It may have cost Edwards the chance to be Obama's Attorney General, or even yet another run for the White House.


    Using his family to show what a "great family guy" he is while cheating on his wife is bad enough, but cheating on her while she has breast cancer repulses just about everyone. And people remember that shit.


    Then again, he, Spitzer and Fosella all got what they deserved.
