“Go ahead and laugh at Uncle Joe, or call him a fool if you like—I’m not going to stop ya,” Biden continued. “But know that I have a soul, and that my soul bleeds. Hell, I may not always know which way I’m going, or why, but god damn it if I’m not trying the best I can. The everloving best I can.”

kinda think biden's catholic answer came off as mealymouthed, but he'd banked at least some goodwill. he's eloquent and well-composed, but i really get the 'smug' thing.

Not to sidetrack, but it's just bizarre to think back to Palin being up there.

biden's laughing and all that seemed perfectly appropriate considering he was dealing with an idiot who he has absolutely no respect for! just being honest.

i think to people who realize what a tool ryan is, that's how it comes off (laughter and mocking is appropriate - ryan's arguments are not serious)and for those that don't realize what a tool ryan is (majority of voting public imo), it comes off as simply ryan is weak. having been the tiny weak kid on the playground for many years, i can confirm that even when people want to side with you and you're a nice guy, when you're getting picked on and laughed at in public and you can't come up with a good response, you look completely weak and feeble. doesn't bode well for someone on the presidential ticket

I'm not judging Biden's laughter on how justified it was--I'm sure he was genuinely exasperated. I'm just not sure if it'll become a story like Gore's sighing did. Stupid, but that's simply the reality (or surreality) of these things. One thing where he may have really gotten through was when he looked at the camera and addressed seniors.

It won't become a story because the press is interested in portraying this as Obama campaign rebounds.

Biden being a "laughing meanie" to a dullard isn't news that anyone cares about.

paul ryan reminds me of a cross between jeremy renner and one of the illinois nazis from blues brothers tbh.

clem: Al Gore already dismissed as a loser by Beltway before the first debate; sighing and pink lipstick confirmed it.

the sighing thing played as an actual evasive and passive aggro thing, biden came right out and said shit and laughed while doing so basically.
― omar little, Friday, 12 October 2012 03:13 (eleven years ago) link
I hope you're right, but I think your reading of "anyone" may be a little narrow.
― clemenza, Friday, 12 October 2012 03:14 (eleven years ago) link
like gore couldn't come out and say he thought he was "superior" to the guy, so he sighed as a hint to his constituency. that's how i think it came off as to a lot of people.

CNN was amazingly stupid, btw, like amazingly
they're gonna sound like a bunch of whiny, hypocritical pussies if they push the "joe biden was SO MEAN!!" line. i don't really see indie voters reacting well to the GOP complaining like that.
