Joe Biden, Batman’s fiendish archenemy, grinned widely and laughed maniacally throughout his debate with Paul Ryan tonight. The vice president and Arkham Asylum escapee repeatedly interrupted Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney’s sidekick. Ryan remained unflappable, an extremely brave accomplishment given Biden’s history with sidekicks; Biden famously murdered Jason Todd, the second Robin. In a debate that was heavy on foreign policy, defending the Obama administration’s record required Biden to cripple the truth as severely as he crippled former Batgirl Barbara Gordon.
Liberals widely hailed Biden’s performance. Everyone else was aghast. Like most vice presidential debates, the evening did not affect the election in any way.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

The Left believes Obama lost last week on style, not substance. As such, they will love Biden's performance, because he was not disengaged. On the other hand, those of us on the right will conclude that he not only lost on substance, but Biden may have alienated those few remaining in the middle with his antics, while reinforcing our conclusion that he is a classless, graceless buffoon.

Apparantely Biden thinks Americans being murdered by terrorists in foreign countries is funny. Will they still be laughing if another attack happens on our soil?
Hey independents wake up the choice is clear vote these idiots out!

Better a neutral outcome than the Joker should help the Termite's cause.

My daughter, a HS senior, was required to watch the debate for her Government class...after the Smirkfest, she has little doubt that she will NEVER go into politics

Liberals live in a dream world. They rarely know the countervailing arguments, and it is THEY who are faith based.
It is hard by any measure to say Biden won unless one confuses rudeness with some kind of dominance. I might have, if I had been Ryan asked Biden not to constantly interrupt. I thought Raddatz was a little more in a "gotcha" mood with Ryan. Biden only talked a little longer than Ryan. But it seemed way longer.
