    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?

    I'd hate to be stalkerish towards Franco i.e.- any girl who's currently a student at Columbia/Barnard, but I'd totally have a love scene with Franco rewritten if I had the pull. Shit, I'd make the movie, like, Last Tango In Paris intense.

    @BookishLatkeish: That (paying for the kid he fathered outside of his marriage and is now ignoring) is why he stepped down from writing for National Review. He still has an ownership stake in the magazine, and probably feared that if he didn't immediately get out of the spotlight that they'd lose many subscribers and he'd lose a lot of money.


    As I remember, he was initially outed as an adulterer back in 1998 or so, around the time Clinton was under fire for sticking the cigar in Monica.

    Am I the only one who really, really doesn't get the A-Rod/Madonna thing? I mean, he's young and while I think he's gross I can see where many, many women would think he's hot. Whereas Madonna peaked 15 years ago and is now weirdly stringily muscley with absolutely nothing soft or feminine about her anymore. She should be with someone else old and past their prime -- Harrison Ford, maybe.


    I dunno, I guess to each his own, but I just can't wrap my brain around this.

    @SaraRueful: For all his prodigious talent and success, Alex Rodriguez always struck me as incredibly insecure and self-conscious. He needs validation and he needs to prove to himself and the world that he's really made it. Madonna, on the other hand, is trying not to be an irrelevant has-been. I think in this case, they're trophies for each other. [/armchair psychoanalysis]

    Evidently Brittany didn't just lip-synch, she pretended to MIME! I'd be upset too if I had to watch her don white face paint and pretend she has trapped in a glass box.

    I love Britney, but I could honestly give a shit whether she lip syncs or not. All I care about is that she looks hot, dances well and creates lyrics that bore into my libido.


    She lips syncs in her videos too - but I'm still happy to watch her in a red skintight catsuit singing "I'm not that innocent" time and time again.


    I mean, seriously, do straight women or gay men care if Ricky Martin lip syncs?


    Does it matter if Wentworth Miller can really break out of prison or if Jack Bauer can stop Albanian terrorists?


    Entertainment is about good looking illusions.


    And, there's nothing wrong with that.
