    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 found irony at it's best. Fox's website has the "speech was really bad" review; while over on MSNBC, the report was that the speech was enthralling and very well put together.

    In any event, THANK GOD she can now stop whining about needing money for her legal fees. $300,000 down, and only $200,000 more to go.

    @Cynner: That's brilliant! The liberal democrats are egging her on because it'll be an easy win for Obama in 2012, and the conservative Republicans are pushing her off the stage to avoid a bloodbath.

    Several audience members reportedly walked out of Ms Palin's speech 30 minutes before the end, citing "more important things to do"

    That drying paint isn't going to watch itself.

    From her speech:

    We don’t believe that human nature is perfectible; we’re suspicious of government efforts to fix problems because often what it’s trying to fix is human nature, and that is impossible. It is what it is. But that doesn’t mean that we’re resigned to, well, any negative destiny. Not at all. I believe in striving for the ideal, but in realistic confines of human nature…

    [blogs.wsj.com]

    Human nature is not perfectible, so don't even waste your time sending your kids to school, specially when Obama speaks.
    She's suspicious of government fixing problems, but she wants to be president?

    I think the real news here is that she didn't quit two-thirds of the way through her speech because giving it was too hard.

    Is that a photo of her at the event? I hate collarless suit jackets, giant buttons, and petal pink. Also, not enough cleavage, and she should've gone one size down with the Bumpit.

    Didn't she quit politics? The last I checked she Nixoned her way out of Alaska and flew off to Dukakisland with all the other incompetent campaigners.
