To paraphrase PJ O'Rourke (I take perverse pleasure at citing right-wingers), "Age and gray hair beats youth and bad hair-styling."

Way to go, Vice-President Joe! Yaaay!

(with all respect to Jill)

Lyin' Ryan can't hold a candle to our Joe.

And yes, he does look like a Muppet*

I love Muppets, but Ryan makes me gag. Yay Elmo!

But Ryan truly creeps me out. I hate everything he stands for - let alone that smug, smirking visage. If it were up to him, I'd be marched to a recycling center and manufactured into Soylent Green.

Bastard.

His workout pics are so douchey. I would take Biden over him and the man is older then my father. And Paul Ryan is older then me. Sincerity beats smarmy smugness any day.

Don't know if you remember the Bush #1 campaign, where he selected (or had selected for him) Dan Quayle as running mate because he was supposed to be "attractive to women". Say what??? He was a moron/moran. And I found that whole thought process offensive and degrading to women.

Joe is attractive. Barack (we're on a first name basis through constant email - can't contribute guys - I'm broke) is attractive. It's not just their looks, which are fine, but their character. The genuine affection they have for their families.

You know what I mean.

For instance, Yertle the Turtle here...


Ol' Jeb having a tantrum...


Chris Christie is a total mouth-breather...


Behold the ferret queen


And of course, no Republican pageant would be complete without John "proof that white supremacists are wrong" Sununu


So, yeah, with that shit as your starting line, Ryan has quite a nice head start.

This huge win tonight takes a lot of pressure off all of us
for a little while. There has been a lot of bickering between
us concerning Obama's performance last week and it wasn't
pretty.Joe's performance tonight will allow us to move forward
together again and get back the Mojo we lost for a couple of days
after the 1st debate.
