Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan were the two candidates on stage at Thursday’s vice presidential debate, but a third character emerged: Joe Biden’s laugh, which didn’t escape the notice of tweeting politicos. (And led, of course, to at least three satirical Twitter accounts: Laughing Joe Biden, Biden Smirk, and yet another Laughing Joe Biden.)
Weekly Standard’s Mark Hemingway: “Joe Biden’s laughing through talking about Iran sanctions?”
TIME’s Michael Scherer: “Not sure debate cameras have been light tested for Biden’s teeth. Best to watch with sunglasses.”
Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein: “Biden’s strategy seems to be to laugh at Ryan constantly. Will it work to infantalize Ryan, or backfire like Gore sighing?”

My wife went off. She said that Biteme was rude and disrespectful. I told her that Biteme was just drunk.
A total lack of respect, and a lack of respect for viewers who expect people to act respectfully. It was like a teen age boy who farted, an uncontrolled laugh, was it a nervous laugh? I didn’t see anything funny at all, he didn’t act Presidential at all in my opinion. I was turned off with his lack of seriousness about real questions.
This debate was not interesting as the moderator seemed to not have control..and I found it hard to follow...
and let us remember OLD JOE has been in politics for 45 years or better...that is more years than Paul Ryan has been on the earth...so I feel Paul will improve as the years unfold...
Biden was RUDE, CRUDE and A TOTAL ASS and he was so sickening, I stopped watching it until the very end.

“Nobody likes an A$$H*LE Clown”
Yes Joe, this was a big Effing Deal, to use your words, and you blew it. I have never seen a political “figure” step on his “weenie” as badly as you did tonight!
Looks like most of the press agrees.
...what the ell did biden do for 5 days when he went and hid...did he and his “coach” have a ticklefeast?
Biden’s smirk would make one scary Halloween mask.
clownus interruptus
I watched c span as I did with the Romney/Hussein debate, but they used a split screen and it drove me nuts with Biden’s smirks grins, smiles and laughing...that I spent most of the 90 min. on the computer...so really didn't enjoy this one..
will be so glad for Nov. 7th and know we have a new, intelligent, classy, President with dignity and respect for the Office of POTUS
It was all acting, to try to make Ryan look absurd - he was laughing at him to make Ryan appear to an amateur.
Biden made himself look unhinged, crazy.
That was so infuriating watching this bufoon, the VP, be so disrespectful of his opponent, of his office, of Americans in general.
I kept hoping Ryan would stop, turn to Biden, and ask him what the heck was so darn funny? Is it the 8% unemployment? Is it the four Americans murdered in Benghazi? Is it the increasing number of casualties in
Afghanistan? Just what is so hilarious?
Joe Biden reminded me of a pedophile you would see on a sex offender registry..he looked like Sandusky’s long lost brother
The ignorant would interpret that as synonimous with 45 years' experience.
Ryan might have quipped that "Grins" has 2 years' foreign policy experience... repeated over 22 times.
It was unwatchable to me. I had to shut it off, and then later, watched the various pundits.
To think that the stupid leftists cry about “bullies” — when, as per usual, it’s they who are projecting.
I think he's a cross between Ted Baxter and Mister Ed. But a little laughing hyena thrown in there is about right.
