The Biden v. Ryan Debate Thread

Joe Biden being this wacky off-the-cuff sort of figure is still a little strange to me since my first memory of him was a stiff dropping out of the primaries because his canned speeches were plagiarized.

i don't think anyone expected (or expects) obama to do what biden did last night, they just expect him to not look like he just got in a terrible argument with his wife that involved the smashing of a wedding photo against a wall, and to speak up and make a few good points every once in a while.

seriously awed by the poetry of this analysis

^^^^ this

also, i have a hard time reconciling his "populist" schtick when i remember how he was MasterCard's go-to guy when he was still in the Senate.

though i still greatly enjoyed watching Biden mop the floor with Ryan.

_2000 attack

On the evening of 20 September 2000 the building was attacked by unapprehended forces using a Russian-built RPG-22 anti-tank missile, causing superficial damage.[6] British Police recovered the discarded launcher at Spring Gardens park in Vauxhall, as well as finding remains of the missile which had exploded against an eighth floor window.[7]

How the fuck have I never heard about this?

Oh god guys. Zing disaster sry

liberals totally Etch-a-Sketch when it comes to Biden's past horrors.

Horrors! Just in time for Halloween. I'm going as Biden during the Clarence Thomas hearing.

i'm going as 09 biden advising obama against a surge and in favor of immediate troop drawdown from afghanistan that way when women ignore me it'll be in character.

I'm going as Jim Lehrer. To make it look good I'm wearing real pancake makeup.

I'm going as Jim Lehrer with an actual pancake on my head, in honor of Dan Lacey.

i don't think you're using the metaphor correctly, but i do know what you mean. because it's the same thing you mean in every single post you make to ILE.

it would only be redundant if the thread had any sustained chat at all about how biden implied he didn't vote for war on a credit card or about the consequences of his albright-like gusto for crippling sanctions or about his being proven a remarkable liar and plagiarist and so on

plagiarist thing is just lol, nobody writes their speeches anyway

Holy shit, I forgot all about Biden dropping out of the race in '88 due to plagiarism.

Remember when obama was plagarizing deval patrick?

except this is a thread about the debate. not about joe biden in general.

and morbs never deigns to actually explain himself (herself? what do i know.) at length, just pops in for a would-be devastating bon mot. frankly i think if s/he were party to a conversation IRL and behaved her/himself like this, s/he'd get punched in the face. why we countenance her/him here is beyond me.

If ILX were a real life party, there would be a lot of people with busted schnozzes, in fairness.

lol @ ms. morbs

xxp yeah this is why i will never go to a FAP lol

"yeah this is why i will never go to a FAP lol"

every ilxor i have ever met in the world is like the pussiest pussy cat that has ever catted. they are doll babies! and a treat to hang with. and nothing like their onlineness. the internet just does things to people.

it's the same thing you mean in every single post you make to ILE.

I'm consistent... bitch.

amateurist, wtf? Yeah saying shit on the internet is completely diff from real life, overexplaining myself on this fucking thing would be a massive waste of time, I am a man, and at least wait til my cancer is under control before you punch me in the fucking face. And God fuck America and politics.

Morbs pleas for politeness and tact

Well, anyway.

i'm glad morbz posts in these threads -- just as i'm glad mordy, alfred, m. white, clemenza, iatee, scott seward, and a bunch of other people with disparate opinions and posting styles post here. hell, i wish we had a couple of conservatives. these threads are more interesting when they take unpredictable turns.

i suppose you all want to re-elect the muslim, eh

well that ad has the creepiest "I'm _____ and I approve this message" coda that I've heard in a few years.

I'm Mitt Romney, and I'm speaking to you from inside your house. I'm standing over your children. Do what I say, and nobody gets hurt.

seriously. he sounds like he's speaking the words while standing over the body of someone he's just bludgeoned to death.

Also looks like they edited Biden's laughs in.

romney actually says he's going to dig people out of the ground in this one!

i think that's what he means anyway...

wait maybe he didn't say that...

i like how china making lots of stuff means you must stand up to china. kill them if you have to. then bury them in ohio. then dig them up out of the ground. this will create jobs. for people who make shovels. in ohio.

mitt only owns one shirt!

a stuffed shirt!

One shirt, one shovel, full hearts

isn't this the fridAY night lights indie rock band at the end of this one?
