    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 kind of doubting that kattan is capable of making anything that resembles a joke, unless one is referring to his "career".

    Dear Cajun, please forgive me for this little correction, but far too many people get it wrong:

    Piven attacked Kattan over a sushi joke? Hope he never reads Gawker (particularly the archives during the whole Speed the Plow imbroglio. He should've attacked Kattan for being painfully unfunny.

    @Hydroceph: Piven shouldda filed a police report against Kattan for aggravated lameness in the first degree. < The ever-classier option of keeping his mouth shut. The InterNerd taught me that nothing angers your enemies more efficiently, to the point where they might self-combust from frustration, than ignoring them.

    Based on singing talent I wasn't sure they could get much worse than Paula Abdul, but...and I'm not admitting to actually purchasing their music or enjoying the Spice Girls by any extreme of the imagination, despite the fact that their first song, that "zinga-zinga-zow" impale-your-ears-with-a-blow-gun song bored it's way into your head with supernatural force, never did I see Posh utter a single song note, soooo, I'm not getting why or how she's a fit judge.
    If the show were about putting together a group of girls with sub-par talent and stupid, kitschy monikers based on supposed personality and marketed purely on the guile of global simpletonism, than yah, that I get.

    Jeremy Piven showed up on Big Brother (shut up, yes I watched it) last night. He came in the house for a few minutes to show a preview of that horrible new movie he has coming out about selling cars.

    @anyonecanwhistle: "Too nice" for American Idol is pretty shocking, given that I don't think I've ever seen that aging lollipop crack a smile, not once.
    Maybe it should have read "too obviously-fake nice"?
    But then again, if she has no critical faculties outside of the wardrobe department, and that may well be the case, she's utterly useless to Idol. She would attract novelty viewers, but create no substantial following.
    Now if only she'd take that useless lump of a husband of hers back to England so he can rest on his laurels in front of adoring fans. He sure raised the profile of pro soccer in America, didn't he?
