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?”

By the way, Mark Hemingway once stated that he read nothing more paranoid than Cleon Skousen’s “The Naked Communist.”
I wonder if he’ll retract that statement now that we know, through the Freedom of Information Act, that his daddy offered his services as a popular and influentially writer directly to Stalin in an effort to spread soviet-style communism to America.
I wonder if “Papa Hemingway” was insulted that Stalin ignored his offer completely.
That’s straight from the liberal playbook.
When you know you support a position that cannot be logically and reasonably argued, result to the logically fallacious ad hominem Alinsky method of isolating and ridiculing by simply laughing at your opponent.
I was really impressed he was paying attention.....maybe it has something to do with the fact that the spouse and I often yell at the TV whenever these Moron’s make an appearence.
The guy was a mentally ill crank ~ his followers are on that route themselves ~ giving them credit rather than Ritalin or Thorazine just encourages them.
Put the real stuff in their chai when they're not looking.
Those women all knew that baby ~ or one just like Joe.

Nonetheless, it was one of Alinsky’s tactics to “isolate and ridicule.” That it has become imbued in the very fabric of their perception does not mean that it was not a planned part of the strategy of the Statists.
This was a time for a serious 50X70 ft rear projection screen ~ is is that 'series and hugh' ~ whatever, that's what was needed.
These leftwingtard guys are not 10 feet tall ~ most are mental midgets or morons. Some of them have never encountered thinking outside the leftwing box of memes and will frequently state that nothing you say makes sense.
They do not immediately move to ridicule your arguments when they run into a discontinuity ~ they fittzzz out.

Radio host Neal Boortz: “Looking like Biden’s gameplan is to laugh his way through this.”
Townhall.com’s Guy Benson: “Will Biden laugh his ass off at the terrible economy, too?”
MSNBC’s S.E. Cupp: “Biden needs to laugh a little less through the Libya, Middle East, nuclear Iran segment.”
Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza: “Ok. I have decided. I find the Biden smile slightly unsettling.”
PBS’ Jeff Greenfield: “Biden has always had a smile that at times is really, really inappropriate.”
Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard: “Can’t tell yet if Biden’s smirking, laughs, eye-rolling, head shaking, works for him or not against the oh-so-young looking eager Ryan.”
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer: “Biden is at risk of having his laugh come across like Gore’s sighs. He should knock it off.”
The New York Times’ Ashley Parker: “Biden’s grin is Chesire Cat caliber.”
Republican strategist Ron Bonjean: “Biden laughing does not come off with the intended effect. It is actually hurting him. Looks very condescending.”

Watched on C-Span online. I let what VP Joe did speak for itself. This politico is outright NOT FIT to be VP. Both he and Obama are now TOAST.
Ol’ Jo could play the part psyco killing in a suspense thiller.
bidWanted to add: Last night biden reminded me of howie dean’s meltdown moment but stretched out over a hour and a half.
It's not a "bang." It is a widow's peak and he cannot do anything about it. It's Paul Ryan's hairline. People are born with them, although I cannot think of another famous person with one.
It is not as noticeable on women. BTW, Marilyn Monroe had one.
Bingo! Biden actually believes he'll be the one to take on Mitt in 2016, and that all this debate sauce will be forgotten. Probably so.
It’s called a razor. I use one everyday to landscape my face.
Someone with computer skills should add this Anderson Cooper sound track to Biden’s video.
