Say, did you notice that Joe Biden was just a little interrupty in the VP Debate? We are given to understand that Old Handsome Joe's performance made a bit of a stir among some of the more sensitive souls on the right side of the political spectrum. (You see, when a Republican puts on an angry threat display, it proves his "alpha male" status. When a Dem does something similar, it is the end of civility as we know it, and poo must be flung.)
"this is what we have been saying over and over: who killed all the smart people and handed paul ryan that crown? "
Um. Republicans.
Scattered and incoherent as Ryan is (which is a whole bunch of scattered and incoherent), who else among the Repos has even the simulation of intellectual heft? Crisco? Jebbie? That no-name in Virginia? MITT????
The US of A is in deep shit, because the party that commands the allegiance of almost half of the voters is headed (and has been headed for at least thirty years) by people with the intellectual depth of a spirochete. Unfortunately, you don't have to be smart to be able to tell what people want to hear, and , in fact, not being smart is probably an advantage when you tell them a bunch of self-contradictory shit (it keeps your head from exploding).
Lyin' Ryan has pissed me off for years, especially because I grew up in Wisconsin. As Clinton pointed out, Ryan's failures are not in exotic mathematics, they are in simple fucking arithmetic. The dickhead has managed to parlay his slightly weird- looking and soft-spoken persona into being perceived as a "serious" legislator, despite the fact that he doesn't have a fucking clue about pretty much anything.
You make a sort of interesting point, but I think you err in specializing it to Wonkette.
If we here discuss OHJ's demeanor rather than Lyin's incompetence, it isn't going to impact the broader debate in any significant way. Now, if the RWM is able to diffuse general popular attention to Lyin's incompetence by focusing on OHJ's demeanor, then they will have scored an undeserved gain. But we can't really do anything about that, other than wait to see what happens.
<i>...The fact that a man considered by the pundit class to be a goofball ...</i> Was Joe on the Senate Intelligence Committee or the Senate Foreign Relations? I don&#039;t know why anyone would think Ryan would be able to go against him on foreign policy. As for our &quot;pundit class&quot;, well ...
I feel sorry for these wingtards. I mean, who doesn&#039;t admit that Romney came out ahead in the last debate? Is there someone out there that was all &quot;I BELIEVE THE QUIET COLORED MAN SHOWED SPECTACULAR HUMBLE MEEK DECORUM AND THEREFORE, HATH WON THIS CONTEST&quot;? Could you find even one editorial in the left-leaning media tube-o-sphere, or anywhere?
I mean, I feel kind of bad. They actually have to live with themselves, which is pretty awful. Then to have to look to people like Gretchen Carlson or Rich Lowry or Tucker Carlson to affirm a false belief.
That can&#039;t really feel all that good, that is, if they have any humanity left. I mean, fuck them, it&#039;s a choice after all, you know? But still. I cringe a little for their poor tattered souls.
Dinsdale?

Gaaah.
I prefer to refer to previous versions of Jenna.
Are these the mousecakes we like? (Oh, wait, that was from Consumer Reports. Sorry).

So, I&#039;m on the re-broadcast, but thank you very much anyway.
Edit: Oh, man, really major thanks. Tremendous stuff.
don&#039;t forget aging porn star Jenna...
Shorter GOP &quot;It&#039;s just not fair when you hit back!&quot;

You probably don&#039;t want to go there. Smilin&#039; Joe ran for the Senate (and won, natch) in 2008.
EVERY DAY I LOVE AL GORE MORE AND MORE

Obama was too polite -- Big Issue! Biden was impolite -- Big Issue!
Steve Doocy&#039;s labia does all the time.
