The debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan started harsh and only got more and more brutal as it proceeded, with Vice President Joe Biden attacking Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan with gusto, repeatedly speaking over him, openly snickering and shaking his head at Ryans answers, and essentially giving the impression of a heckler.
And needless to say, the strategy garnered a lot of responses from opinion-makers. Below are some of the most hilarious/strange/interesting responses to the Biden/Ryan debate:

Joe Biden has laughed so hard he's lost his voice. #vpdebate

Apparently raising your voice & pounding the table is what Grimacing Joe does when cornered. #debate

Biden's strategy seems to be to laugh at Ryan constantly. Will it work to infantalize Ryan, or backfire like Gore sighing?

Joe Biden needs to realize this isn't a Senate Foreign Relations Hearing. His laughter and condescending attitude is a disaster.

Can't tell yet if Biden's smirking, laughs, eye-rolling, head shaking, works for him or not against the oh-so-young looking eager Ryan.

This Biden guy is awesome! I hope he keeps that nice sleepy black guy on the ticket!

CNN declared the debate itself a draw, but several of its commentators, including David Gergen and Alex Castellanos, gave the style points to Ryan. Summing this perspective up more bluntly, Fox News Chris Wallace called this the most openly disrespectful debate performance he had ever seen over 52 years of watching debates.
Hmmmmmm.
Maher is obviously a "bottom".
Sounds like Maher had never seen Rimshot Joe before tonight. Probably had never even heard of him.
Plus, isn’t that more than a tad bit racist?

I’m not sure he’s ever sober or sane long enough to form an [intentionally] ‘racist’ remark.
Oh, man.
My ‘word play’ reply to that would get me ZOTted for sure.
;D
"Hey Martha! Pull my finger!!!"
Obama-Biden: clowning around with your government.
And you wonder why your country is swirling the bowl. :)
Biden seemed to think that “stuff” (Irish lingo there) about four dead Americans was pretty funny “stuff.”
If you want a pair of really big really white teeth - 0bama/Biden.
If you want a job - Romney/Ryan.
And one Ryan response to Biden’s smirks..
“I know you are trying to make up for the last debate...”
Score!!
The term “sleepy” in the parlance of the black community is the rough equivelent of the term “white trash”. It’s basically a term working case blacks use for others.
Anyway...Maher is a liberal, if he’s racist by intent it’s forgiven as insightful. “Being a liberal means never saying your sorry” as Dennis Prager says.
My favorite time on Twitter is giving Bill Maher back his crap.
My sentiments exactly. Soon as I saw his first goofball smirk my first thought was "clown."
THIS is the VP of the US? A heartbeat away from having his fingers on some buttons that will make our every worst nightmare come true?
Terrific.
Eeeeew...ick!
You actually interact with that wretched little atheistic amoeba?
Eeeew!
[I hope you disinfect your keyboard, afterwards]
;D
Hey, watch it there. You’re talking about the candidate choice of the unions, welfare scamers, socialist and the other ner do wells.
After 15 minutes of seeing that Cheshire Cat grin on Bidins face I wanted to slap the crap out of him.What a disrespectful moron he is.
Mark Levin:
“Martha Raddatz was awful, stepping all over Paul Ryans statements. Joe Biden was off his meds, flailing with his hands, interrupting, repetitive, and whiny, which is what most of his base has wanted. And Paul Ryan was calm, cool, and collected, with a better second half in the debate.”
