Biden's mom and dad taught him many things, but not manners — Fox News

Complete Headline: Biden's mom and dad taught him many things, but not manners—Fox News' Karl Rove, Joe Trippi, Ed Rollins and others review the VP debate

President Obama in his debate with Gov. Romney seemed to be missing in action. Vice President Joe Biden should have been. He was rude, talked non-stop and did nothing to further the discussion in a serious way. He was like a Cheshire cat with his inappropriate smile, and it was like a political speech without anybody else in the dialogue.

Paul Ryan was knowledgeable and tried to have a serious discussion on very important issues. Biden insisted on talking over him.

The next debate Biden should have is with himself. He loves the sound of his own voice and certainly doesn't want to hear any other view points.

This wasn't a debate. It ended up being a monologue with Biden dominating the time, and cutting off Ryan every chance he could.

This ended up like being trapped in a bar next to a know-it-all drunk. Biden wasn't drinking but he reinforced why he only got 1 % of the vote when he ran for president four years ago.

Ryan made a favorable impression. Biden reinforced the impression that he's a blowhard! Ryan helped his ticket. Biden hurt his. And the country lost the opportunity to hear a serious debate about serious issues.

-- Ed Rollins, Fox News contributor, Republican strategist and former Huckabee presidential campaign manager

Can some photoshop adept put Biden’s face onto the Gieco commercial of the cackling witch in the broom factory?

[ Remember when media made fun of Eastwood for calling Biden “a grin with a body behind it”? ]

It’s fascinating how Obama and Biden’s debate performances reinforced Eastwoods caricatures. Obama the empty chair and Biden the grin. Eastwood had them nailed and the clueless mainstream media didn’t even know it.

Too much Joker Juice? He appeared to come down the last half hour. Was he on something?

The libs thought Eastwood clueless and senile, but he pegged these two perfectly.

VP Biden was more than rude. He showed great disrespect to PM Netanyahu by continually calling him
Bebe,...... like he was a pet or a kid in the neighborhood.

“When a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, The foolish man either rages or laughs, and there is no rest.” Proverbs 29:9

New American Standard Bible (©1995)

Some translations use the word “debates” instead of “has a controversy”.

Rather appropriate for the Ryan - Biden controversy.

When someone is digging a hole for themselves—don’t take away their shovel.

Biden seemed to be trying to interrupt Ryan often enough to make him lose his focus & theme.

For Ryan, a man who lives & breathes budgets—the dullest part of accounting— IMO, this was a serious mistake by Biden.

Did Biden act this way when he was practicing with John Kerry?

Biden also blatantly lied about Mitt’s income tax return.

Both Biden & Obama keep referring to Mitt’s 2011 income as $20 MILLION. The correct figure is $13 million.

The whole country knows it, but they keep inflating Mitt’s income while over 23 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed.

They bitched about not getting Mitt’s tax return earlier, and then when they have the actual numbers, they still cannot be accurate.

No wonder we are in such debt. Neither one of them can understand simple math.
