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
Since some people are saying lighten up, and it's no big deal, it's satire, I suggest Mr Gutfeld make similar type remarks regarding the US military. In a nation where anything sort of total support for the troops is considered treason, I don't think you'd get have a lot of laughter at the red eye's wacky, yet harmless brand of satire.
Rick Mercer succinctly stated- "If you're going to do satire, three of the most important rules are you have to tell the truth, you can't be a bully and don't be an asshole. Being a bully is not satire."
Meh. I'm not really concerned with any pending invasion. Canadian snipers are widely regarded as the world's best. I'll just plop one of them on my front porch, get some brewskis, some bacon, Hockey Night in Canada and call it a day.
Are you people crazy? I don't know if you know this but this show is a comedy show. Basically a shittier version of the Daily Show. Some of you say that they are just narrow minded frat boys with a humor to match but maybe you should look in the mirror. You are so quick to call names and talk of things you don't understand.
@James Craig: Good thing to point out - also, I think Canadians are much more aware of our military because our media covers the war and has more access. We see those bodies being brought home in flag drapped caskets, we line up on the Highway of Heros and greet our fallen soldiers, we have much greater access to our military than the American media has to theirs, so we're given a constant visual reminder of the cost our men and women pay when they go overseas.
Canada's government opposition party just 'appointed' (not elected) a guy who spent over 30 years not living in, or caring much, about his country of birth so it's funny to watch my fellow citizens get their 'Canada up' about this.
Why don't they put as much effort into the politics of their own country as they do in freaking out about some irrelevant Faux News bingo-caller? Cause they're too busy feeling holier-than-thou about the US and, um, gay marriage! Well now we've got a Science Minister who isn't clear about his feelings on creationism vs. evolution and an opposition leader that supported the war in Iraq and the Bush doctrine.
Face it Canada. Some mouthy jerk is the least of your problems.
Red Eye is the chewy center of the Tootsie Pop that is Fox News. The rest of the news line-up may provide a micro-thin candy coating of supposed legitimate journalism but at its' core Fox News is just a bunch of frat boys cracking fag jokes. How long it takes to get to that chewy core is unknown since no one is willing to lick Bill O'Reilly.

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