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."

After reading that I could just imagine the others sitting near him saying “Pass the bong!”

That's charitable. I'd call him something else.

Yeah Stoned. I’m glad Biden showed his true self. Biden did a good job of losing 10s of thousands of potential votes for Obama LoL.

Considering the fact checkers have discovered Biden pretty much lied non stop thru the debate, Mattie here is looking especially stupid today with this column.

Andrew Breitbart: Death of a Douche

So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Here’s what I have to say to that, and I’m sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! F*** him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.

The Vice Presidential Debate: Joe Biden Was Right to Laugh

.. and as a guest on the Imus radio show both Imus and Taibbi had a good laugh about the death of Andrew Breitbart.

The problem with people like this guy is that they need a taste of their own medicine. The commie punks love violence when they are the ones dishing it out. One of these days, conservatives are going to start retaliating. Then you will see these clowns crying and yelling “Why can’t we just get along”.

There was a time I actually subscribed to Rolling Stone and allowed their editorial board to teach me how to think. Well, I still like some of the the CDs I got free for the subscription. (Especially Terrapin Station.) In the end these folks do a good trade on preying on idealistic, semi-indoctrinated boys and girls who have Daddy’s credit cards in their pockets. Rolling Stone is an excellent magazine for selling guitar strings (I am an expert on this subject,) but I’d say articles are “five percent max” without socialist bias. Maybe that is enough... Every once in awhile an article shines, truly looks toward freedom, and is (what I’d call) American. 20% would be preferable.

Biden kind of reminded me of my late uncle Roy who would giggle uncontrollably and hallucinate when he didn’t take his anti-psychotic meds in the morning.
