    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?

    In reply to We Are All Married to Barack Obama
    I guess it's redundant now, especially considering HE'S president and she's actually more popular than him (poor bastard...not conservative enough for the neo-con fuckers and certainly not aggressive enough a Democrat for me, and I'm pretty centrist on everything but the stuff religious right-wingers tamper with). I guess that's not unusual--the First Lady making a better impression than the guy who's always making SOMEONE unhappy.

    It'd do no good now, but I'd like to know what she thinks, above and beyond her beautiful healthy children and dog or the White House garden. I have a vague idea--probably pretty close to what he thinks (what is that, now)....right? She's doing the usual, adding a soft touch to his presidency by playing up service, military families...things that certainly deserve attention, but these are things that the matron of the most despicable White House couple could play up safely. Who is she?

    She's still interviewed on talk shows, even though the campaign is over, and I heard at least ONCE from a professor they both had that they thought SHE'D be the one running for office someday. #barackobama

    So according to the NYT Obama's is the head of a sexist boys club, AND he is in a healthy and loving marriage with a strong and intelligent woman.

    Right, and they blame internet for the death of newspapers... #obama

    Is "Adrien" a typo, or is "Adrian Chen" a different person? If not, don't feel bad because Gawker misspelled it, too, in the previous post. #obama
