    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?

    I'm pretty sure that Richardson fell on Monday afternoon, around the same time Gupta's wife was giving birth, not the day after.

    @VoxPopuli: Also, I have to add that I don't understand why people think this post is snarky. I guess if I had been watching CNN's coverage of this story and hadn't seen their main medical correspondent - a brain surgeon no less - pop up until several days after the fact, then I might wonder why.


    Yeah, it's not the most interesting topic, at least to me, but Gawker does sometimes still cover the media and this would fall into that category.


    The "killing him" part I'm guessing was just an unfortunate choice of words, not an intentional pun.

    This post is just plain bizarre. And not in a good way. I can see trying to come up with a unique, "inter-web edgy" way of announcing the birth, but this isn't the way to do it.


    Sorry to get all Church Lady for a minute, but even snark has its limits.

    Just a comment on the all the doctors saying she could have been saved had she received prompt medical attention. What a bunch of dicks. I don't think there could be a better way to make the family feel worse. Way to go doodz.

    @Kitten_Witawip: I agree. No one knows, of course. However, I do think, while discussing this incident, doctors should encourage people to get medical attention as soon as possible after a head injury and to wear helmets when participating in sports. When they say these things though, it is going to sound like they are finding fault with Natasha's actions.

    @downlow: @Kitten_Witawip: Montreal & area doctors are using this incident to lobby for medivac helicopters from the province. Tremblant is about 3 hours from Montreal and if they could get there quicker "maybe" they could have saved her.


    On the other hand, they do have the service in Alberta, but if you are evacuated by helicopter and after the fact your injuries are not considered life threatening, you are personally on the hook for the service, which is about $900 or so. Maybe not an issue for someone like Natasha, but a lot of skiers turn down the service when it's recommended because they don't want to be stuck with the bill. (I learned this direct from the ski patrol at Lake Louise where I was being treated for my-broken-wrist-while-snowboarding accident. I had a helmet, just forgot my wristguards that day :S )

    @kewlkat: Gawker, at its best, gives us access to people on the scene such as yourself. Thanks for some interesting facts.

    As for coulda, woulda, shoulda: yes, they might have been able to save her if there was a CT scan and a neurosurgeon standing by at the first hospital they took her to, but events such as this one are generally clearer when seen through a rear view mirror.

    I'm sort of amazed that Natasha Richardson's accident prompted someone to think "woah, dude, that's totally Sanjay Gupta's turf!" Not that I think it's irreverent thing to ponder--it's just a stupefyingly trivial one.

    A mistress, drug history, tax problems, Medicare fraud?
