“Joe’s Rope-a-Dope” is what Jill Biden calls his 40 minute daily ritual of struggling to put on his necktie.

I thought even the word “Rope” was racist.

I think Biden’s overarching theme will be class warfare and how they are the champions of the little guy. Ryan will take that apart with stories of where the money has really gone. I also hopes Ryan stresses that tax increases on the rich cannot fill the hole regardless of how “fair” idiots claim it may be.

Just to be safe at the White House nowadays I would recommend soap on a rope.

“Mr. Vice President, regarding the planned terrorist attack that left four Americans dead in Libya. I’m sure you’ve seen all the pictures and heard the reports about the sadistic things that were done by the terrorists.

We’ve already established that your Administration, despite scores of warnings and pleas for help, significantly reduced security around the Libyan consulate. And we’ve also established that your Administration went to great lengths to cover it up, spreading a made-up story about a non-existent video.

So please tell the American people, Mr. Vice President, what can the people take away from this episode that will make them feel good about electing you to a second term?”

I am expecting Biden to do O.K. in the debate for a short while until he makes one of his inevitable, irreversible gaffes, at which point he will be chewed up and spit out by Ryan.

Rope-a-dope consists of letting your opponent take shots at you until he tires. It only works if you are capable of blocking or avoiding his punches long enough for him to punch himself out.

Somehow I think that the Vice President is not capable of using that tactic.
