Y’know, I love Joe, really I do, and feel Ryan needs a whippin’, but I can’t help but wonder how much of this swoonfest is due to the contrast with last week’s event? ---

This is brutal. Side note: A Republican friend of mine posted before the debate with a clip of Biden’s “gaffes,” wondering what “stupidities” he would spew tonight. He has since deleted the post. (Or, to be fair, maybe he just changed the privacy on it to keep it away from liberal pinkos like me. 🙂 ) ---

Biden: “Oh, now you’re Jack Kennedy?” You, Paul Ryan, are _no_ Jack Kennedy. PRICELESS. ---

Biden’s destroying Ryan. Literally smirking and laughing at his face. ---

Ryan has a LOT to learn about having a serious discussion about serious issues. Joe has the math on his side. Reality has a liberal bias–thanks, Stephen Colbert. I really, really hope they touch on “women’s issues”. ---

Ryan is blaming Obama for sequestration (which he voted for) now. Biden is going to hit him hard on this. ---
