Biden's Debate Performance: Good for Comedians, Bad for Campaign
US News & World Report ^ | October 12, 2012 | By Kenneth T. Walsh

The humorists of TV will have the final say in determining who won the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan Thursday night — and that's probably bad news for Biden.

The Democratic vice president's behavior — his smirking, his derisive bursts of laughter, his habit of shaking his head in disagreement, his interruptions — made him ripe for caricature as a rude know-it-all and perhaps as a would-be bully. These aren't traits that impress many swing voters, including women, who prize civility and treating others with respect. And in contrast to the more somber Ryan, a Republican congressman from Wisconsin who came across as relatively boring for most of the debate, Biden's aggressiveness and his other outsized traits were perfect targets for satire.

No writing needed. Just run as is. It’s a skit, I tell you.

Can’t wait for the kings of sarcasm, Dennis Miller and Adam Carolla give their spin on this.

I find NOTHING to laugh about. Frankly, for the near future I am scared as HELL. This rude, crude, ignorant, uncivil, conceited, political hack, boor and all around idiot is ONE HEARTBEAT FROM THE PRESIDENCY OF THE USA.
Until the swearing of of President Mitt Romney, I truly pray for the well being of -—— HIM!!

Sorry, but most of the humorists of TV are suck up liberals. Just like the suck up liberal journalists - they’ll give Biden a pass. Kenneth T. Walsh needs to step out of the liberal bubble...

Could someone post an image of the smiling weirdo in “The Hunger Games”? I would like to see the resemblance; and may the odds be forever in you favor.

Even SNL went after the odd Al Gore. If they don’t parody this guy, then that will be proof of how far they have fallen. This is simply BEGGING to be made fun of. We shall see.

On every talk show I had a chance to listen to today, Rush, Hannity, Medved...every woman that called in bashed Biden. One said that he was a “pig” and another one said she reminded him of her ex-husband (and she didn’t like her ex-husband).

Even though this is anecdotal, I don’t think Biden helped the Obama campaign with women, last night.

The chief topic of discussion the day after last week’s presidential debate was how awful Obama’s performance was. And now, after last night’s vice-presidential debate, the chief topic of discussion is how awful Joe Biden’s performance was.

Obama/Biden has clearly been outclassed by Romney/Ryan. However, the liberal MSM is already frantically at work writing its ‘’Obama! The Comeback Kid!’’ material to follow the two upcoming debates. Let’s hope Romney is deep in preparation for the next debate, so Obama’s comeback story will look as ridiculous as Joe Biden’s depraved in-your-face dental work did last night.

I remember SNL doing a skit on Biden and Obama, most likely 2008. They had them driving in a car, and Biden's replies to the other's verbal statements were whacky from a grinning laughing Biden. "Wheeeee!" shrieked Biden in the skit.

SNL cannot pass up the opportunity to lampoon Biden again.

The humorists of TV will have the final say in determining who won the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan Thursday night — and that’s probably bad news for Biden.

SNL and the other late night left wing bs artists posing as entertainment try to target their key audience, the real losers in America the failure to launch bozos staying at home with their parents or grand parents.

The Democratic vice president’s behavior — his smirking, his derisive bursts of laughter, his habit of shaking his head in disagreement, his interruptions — made him ripe for caricature as a rude know-it-all and perhaps as a would-be bully. These aren’t traits that impress many swing voters, including women, who prize civility and treating others with respect.

Vice President Joe Biden’s behavior at last night’s debate proved one thing: Team Obama has given up trying to win over independent voters and is betting it all on their base. Mr. Biden’s laughter, dismissive comments and smirks whenever Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) spoke was obviously an effort to placate those who react the same way when someone dares to point out President Obama’s failures and offers alternatives.

The response of the left to Biden’s rude behavior on the nationally televised debate is/was predictiable. They love it and insanely believe the rest of us love their insanity, arrogance, and rude behavior.

With over 70 years of life and at least 60 of those years watching liberals lie and feel superior. Dacades ago, I came to the conclusion, that they are all mentally unstable and there is no cure for them.

They all suffer from Illusory Superiority Responses. Often this cognitive bias increases with years of faux education and their illusory social status in their increasing unstable/immature minds.

Illusory Superiority Response is a cognitive bias that causes people to overestimate their positive qualities and abilities and to underestimate their negative qualities, relative to others. This makes them under estimate real winners like Ronald Reagan.

So they label anyone, who dares to challenge their insane/rude Illusory Superiority Responses, as red necked, stupid, knuckle draggers rather than listen to what we have learned over the years, decades and centuries from history.

With the instant reality, we now have with the internet, Fox and social nets, the left wing mediots are losing their ability to lie and cover their beloved Obama’s/Biden’s unstable responses.

The rabid/mentally unstable hard core liberals love the Illusory Superiority responses of Obama/Biden/Pelosi/Reed and others.

However, the instant and nationwide exposed insanity of their Illusory Superiority responses is killing them with the independent voters.

"Gore"

I saw Gore give a campaign speech in La Crosse, Wi. in 2000. He is exactly as awful a speaker as he has been parodied. Petrified wood is the best description of his oratorical abilities.
