    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

    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?

    Considering that Huffington is not cheating investors nor is she asking the government for cash, she is free to buy whatever the hell she wants with her money. Don't hate the playa, hate the game y'all.

    @UGAdawg: She's also free to lash out at CEO "narcissism" and "excess" and "greed," as she has for years ([ariannaonline.huffingtonpost.com]), as cited in the clip above, but those particular attacks are hypocritical.

    @Ryan Tate: She focuses on the alliance of CEO's, politicians, and lobbyists and how they take advantage of the system and reducing 401K plans to nil. I haven't heard of Arriana being accused of this herself. She hasn't pillaged any one's 401k or pension fund to advance her lifestyle unlike the CEO's of AIG, Lehman Bros., and other financial organizations. If you can show me where she's done this then I'll give way. Otherwise, she like anyone else who earns money should be able to spend it how they wish.

    In reply to Jets Don't Count for Greed Hater Arianna Huffington
    Have you read the book? I don't understand how this makes her a hypocrite? She's talking about corporations being deregulated for the "good of the market" and then being "too big to fail" and getting bailed out by tax payers. She never says that people shouldn't be rich or that she doesn't believe in free enterprise. This story just seems more like more cynical gawker journalism to me. At least she's trying to educate people on how messed up the banking industry is in this country. I really don't see Gawker doing the same.

    @darkyoga77: Gawker's funding from certain quarters depends on a "moderate" tag, which they score by hating on Huffington and Olbermann. I have that deep background from someone who knows someone who should know.

    Maybe I missed it, but the most galling part of this is that the majority of people working for the Huffington Post aren't even getting paid.

    @Soup: Yes, this would be dreadful if her staff wasn't 100% energy efficent and required such awfully harmful things to the environment like "food" or "shelter" for their survival. No, these wonderful little workers are sustained by the sun like rays coming out of Huffington's ass. If only the rest of the billionaires in America could follow her example, more of them would have the moral right to own a jet, like Ms. Huffington has so clearly earned.
