"If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet." --Proverbs 29:9
Conventional wisdom says that vice presidential debates don't move the needle in elections, and last night's debate was probably no exception. That said, Thursday night's debate couldn't have contrasted two more different candidates. Paul Ryan, the respectful, serious and earnest policy wonk, against Joe Biden, who behaved like a drunken clown and a jerk and paid due homage to the mascot of the Democrat Party -- the Jackass.
On substance, Ryan held his own against Vice President Chuckles, despite having to face a second debate opponent in "moderator" Martha Raddatz of ABC News. Yet on style, whether the subject was the terrorist attack on our Libyan embassy, the ailing economy or abortion, Biden smiled, laughed, sneered, rolled his eyes and strategically interrupted Ryan every time the congressman hit his stride on an answer. And if it wasn't Biden interrupting, it was Raddatz.
Biden is obviously a disciple of Saul Alinksy, who in his "Rules for Radicals," Rule No. 5, said, "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage." Clearly, the Obama team decided that the president's failure last week was that he was "too polite," and that Biden had to use ridicule to shore up their anxious base. The result was appalling, but then again, Biden has been rehearsing his socialist obfuscation and diversion in Washington for 40 years.

Discussing Iran and chuckling don’t mix.
yep,there is a time to laugh.
Last night during the entire debate was not the time for it.
Ryan did remind me of Robin, to Romney’s Batman. And Biden was definitely a bad Joker. One difference is that the Joker was supposed to be smart, and Biden is dumb as a jackass.
"Why didn't he just kill the U.S. Economy?"
"America's Punishment must be more Severe!"

Saw this one played out last night as well:
If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet. Proverbs 29:9
Chalk one up to a lack of sleep ... just saw Proverbs 29:9 at the top of article
re: Proverbs 29:9 I agree, spot on.
