The Vice Presidential Debate: Joe Biden Was Right to Laugh
The Rolling Stone ^ | October 12, 2012 | Matt Taibbi

Posted on 10/12/2012 5:16:37 PM PDT by EveningStar

I've never thought much of Joe Biden. But man, did he get it right in last night's debate, and not just because he walloped sniveling little Paul Ryan on the facts. What he got absolutely right, despite what you might read this morning (many outlets are criticizing Biden's dramatic excesses), was his tone. Biden did absolutely roll his eyes, snort, laugh derisively and throw his hands up in the air whenever Ryan trotted out his little beady-eyed BS-isms.

But he should have! He was absolutely right to be doing it. We all should be doing it. That includes all of us in the media, and not just paid obnoxious-opinion-merchants like me, but so-called "objective" news reporters as well. We should all be rolling our eyes, and scoffing and saying, "Come back when you're serious."

Hummm, the Rolling Stone! So I guess it's true that marijuana at an early age really does affect one’s ability to learn from their mistakes.

Well Matty boy. The way I see it, you commies laughed your asses right out of the White House last night. Have fun loser. America is going to get the last laugh.


As Eric Bolling on Fox’s The Five said today, do you want 4 more weeks or 4 more years?

Matt, I think it’s time for you to start making plans to move to France.

Yes, Matt. We insist that all of you liberals hacks posing as journalists and politicians follow Biden’s lead and expose yourselves as the arrogant pricks you are. Just let it all hang out and show us who you really are. You will feel better and we will feel better come election day.

Matt Taibbi should stick to his investigations on the financial fraud.... Which he is very good at. Other than that he comes across as a flaming liberal.

November 6th is coming. We’ll see who is laughing on the morning of the 7th.

If jokin’ Joey won last night, it will be reflected in the polls.

IMO, he sealed the election of Romney/Ryan with last night’s insult fest.

Women are a big demographic for the Democrats. Women dearly hate the way Biden performed last night, because most of them have had an instance where a person higher up dismissed them, and insulted them.

This was a massive mistake, and it’s down side is going to affect a demographic that was already pealing away in significant numbers. I don’t believe Obama will get the majority of the female vote this election. That pretty much means he’s toast.

Thank you Joey. Thank you very much. No, I mean it. You’re the man. We may not have been able to do it without you.

I can agree to that.

I have seen very few claims that Biden won that debate last night outside of a handful of trolls on various websites, and I mean less than 5 trolls, saying he won, not on any sort of substance, but essentially short sentences claiming he owned Ryan and such.

Today I have seen nothing along those lines. Silence from the left. I think it sunk in just how much of an ass the man made of himself.

and this is exactly what the left in this country thinks of harding working, God fearing, tax paying, citizens. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country and their party

Read those 2 paragraphs Matt wrote and imagine Biden’s voice speaking them. It sounds just like some of the things Biden said last night.

I looked all over the site to find an address for this jerk.

No luck!

I’ve never heard from such a deranged A-HOLE that pays no respect to wisdom and truth.

A barf alert or just not wasting bandwidth posting Rollingstone articles.

Who cares.

The last intelligent thing Matt Taibi ever wrote was, “Dear diary; I feel like a woman trapped inside a man’s body.....well.....barely a man’s body.”
