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
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
I love that the judge in Louisiana who won't marry interracial couples can now be the poster boy for Not-a-Racists. Do you get it, people? That guy claims he's not a racist. Maybe sometimes people are influenced by beliefs they don't consciously want to admit they have. Maybe you don't have to be a Klan member to have these beliefs. (Although it sure helps!) #polls
@FriendlyFloyd: No, I'm fairly certain that in modern evangelical circles, Beck is the Archangel Glenn, whose main powers appear to be crying on cue, whining, drawing illogical conclusions from random facts and appearing on TV with a face made for radio. They overlook the fact that he's a Mormon, which is easy for people who follow him, considering that they all seem to have been in comas during the Bush administration. #polls
It's hard to come up with an explanation that *isn't* race when describing the far-right's ideas and reactions to President Obama. They literally think he's evil and trying to destroy the United States of America, and he has given *no* reason to believe anything remotely similar. The guy is extremely moderate and subdued, he tries way too hard to be inclusive toward the opposition party, and he has done almost nothing. The far-right hasn't seen *every* politician with a D next to their name as apocalyptic - why do they see *this* one that way? #polls
@Tzepish: I'm with you. I recently got a forwarded email that portrayed a very different person than the one who has occupied the White House for the past 9 months or so. It's actually kind of bizarre. But then, I don't watch Glenn Beck. #polls
I get a kick out of how, in these people's minds, liberals are huge, ineffectual pussies who won't stand up for America, and yet liberals are also psychopathic power hungry killers who will murder Glen Beck for speaking out against them. #polls
For all the intricacies of your argument, you are still saying one cannot be vociferously opposed to most of Obama's policies (which are those of Pelosi, Reid, et al) without having some race-related motives. So one can't be angry about the ludicrous thinking behind, say. bailing out Chrysler without that view being in some way racially informed? #polls
@quotidian: If you can't see the difference between believing Obama is putting for a secret agenda to collapse capitalism and destroy the United States from the inside out in order to usher in (whatever, fill in the blank here, seems to change daily) and what you just said, then, yes, there is probably something kind of wrong with you! At the very least, you are an extremely disingenuous and lazy arguer! Sorry, dude. #polls
@quotidian: I need these Glenn Beck and the patriotic Americans who love him to outline with fact and logic their opposition to the POTUS policies. I also need these Americans to outline alternatives to the vast problems facing the country that don't involve invoking watermelon, fried chicken, socialism, Hitler, that the POTUs hates white people or a tax cut. #polls

WeepyVP JoeEither 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
