    In reply to Nobody Loves Weepy VP Joe
    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?

    Every family needs an uncle who's a drug dealer. It makes Christmas dinner so much more bearable when everyone's high or on percs.

    This is so weird... I was just telling someone about my friend who was told they were 32nd in line to be chief of the Menomenee Indians.

    Question: is this Uncle closely related to "Sir" James Goldsmith?

    seriously, drugs aside, he seems a nice enough sort. maybe given to a bit of hyperbole.

    and who doesn't have THAT UNCLE?

    juicy, but i call nonstarter here. i don't know how royalty works, but how many people would have to die for this guy to become king? everyone? this is probably something that could never happen.
    then again i'm not english, so maybe i just don't care.

    @♥Anti-SocialSocialite♥: ...also, he seemed to take issue with Harry dressing as an SS officer. I think the royal family could benefit from having someone like Uncle Gary in the family.

    Also, I wonder if Queen Elizabeth has ever said something to the effect of, "He has 'new money' written all over him." That would be apt.

    Um, British people...the queen so lovingly gave the Obamas a framed picture of herself so they'll never be without a photo of an aged white lady, who rules nothing, to remind them of why democracy works. I think you've done quite enough. Thanks!
