Crazed Uncle Joe stole the show last night in the presidential debate. His riant face glowed at all the wrong moments. Paul Ryan held on admirably, considering the side show Joe was putting on and the constant interruptions from the moderator.

.........are those teeth fake? Can't imagine someone Joe's age with such white perfect teeth.

Actually, I think it’s Ryan who should be cheerful this morning. He presented his case for mature leadership with cool aplomb, while his opponent wore a smily mask and gibbered like a chimpanzee.

Ryan is my new favorite celeb-riant.

Joe Biden wasn’t, really, riant throughout the VP debate, and Joe came across, often, as arrogant, rude, interruptive, and angry towards, both, Paul Ryan and the moderator.

I doubt Joe won over anyone but his base. Riant Ryan should be proud.

Clever! A+++

I have a riant smile this morning knowing that Paul Ryan not only looked thoughtful and calm under pressure but also articulate and able to take over as President should he need to step into that position. In the end that's all that mattered last night to the Americn electorate.

To sum it up in one word Ole Plugs looked "Dismissive" of Paul Ryan.

I don't think that's gonna go over to well with the younger crowd in this country, who are being left holding the bag on all the wasteful spending and lack of leadership Obozo and company have shown.

Yes, I agree. Ryan should be riant this morning. Even CNN said that he won the debate last night. Personally, I ws a little disappointed with my man at the end on the abortion question. I think that Paul was just a little overwhelmed by all the interruptions because I have heard Ryan give a much stronger deense of that question.

Allow me to "fix" my post (which i related to Bob's reply at he top of the thread).

I'm still emotional over the bullying performence by blowhard Biden.

The Left-wing blogs are all riant-
Joe Biden — Intellectual Giant.
“He won the debate,
He was cool, he was great!”
While he simply was rude and defiant.

After a week in seclusion, dem operatives managed only to train Joe Biden into a riant caricature of himself, whose motto became: I rant, therefore I am. This was in marked contrast to Paul Ryan who seemed nary a bit perturbed.
