Biden Was Right to Roll His Eyes - The Orange Mane

Rohirrim · 10-14-2012, 05:16 AM

I've never thought much of Joe Biden. But man, did he get it right in last night's debate, and not just because he walloped sniveling little Paul Ryan on the facts. What he got absolutely right, despite what you might read this morning (many outlets are criticizing Biden's dramatic excesses), was his tone. Biden did absolutely roll his eyes, snort, laugh derisively and throw his hands up in the air whenever Ryan trotted out his little beady-eyed BS-isms.

But he should have! He was absolutely right to be doing it. We all should be doing it. That includes all of us in the media, and not just paid obnoxious-opinion-merchants like me, but so-called "objective" news reporters as well. We should all be rolling our eyes, and scoffing and saying, "Come back when you're serious."

The load of balls that both Romney and Ryan have been pushing out there for this whole election season is simply not intellectually serious. Most of their platform isn't even a real platform, it's a fourth-rate parlor trick designed to paper over the real agenda – cutting taxes even more for super-rich dickheads like Mitt Romney, and getting everyone else to pay the bill.

Think about what that means. Mitt Romney is running for president – for president! – promising an across-the-board 20 percent tax cut without offering any details about how that's going to be paid for. Forget being battered by the press, he and his little sidekick Ryan should both be tossed off the playing field for even trying something like that. This race for the White House, this isn't some frat prank. This is serious. This is for grownups, for God's sake.

If you're going to offer an across-the-board 20 percent tax cut without explaining how it's getting paid for, hell, why stop there? Why not just offer everyone over 18 a 1965 Mustang? Why not promise every child a Zagnut and an Xbox, or compatible mates for every lonely single person? (Ibid.)

Rolling Stoner is probably one of the most degenerate, hostile publications out there. It's not surprising that such authors think behaving like a child on a playground in a debate for the 2nd highest office in the nation is appropriate behavior. Liberal Democrats are known for having a low moral bar. Professional conduct is something to be expected from the Vice President and everyone else in Washington. Disrespect and arrogance are not only unprofessional, but it make the person look like they haven't a real argument for themselves that they have to sit like a kid making faces eating broccoli. It's just dumb. Even Democrats were complaining about it. Part of why pollsters such as CNN gave the debate to Ryan was Biden's sideshow, and yet these clowns are trying to cover for Biden and pretend he did the right thing.

I'd actually prefer Mother Jones. At least they don't have the arrogance, even if they are dumb as a box of rocks.

Sociopath-to-English translation:

"Hostile" = "exposes inconvenient facts about right-wing criminals."

nyuk nyuk · 10-14-2012, 03:32 PM

This is what pouting looks like, and it's not befitting a Vice President of this nation:

Because demeanor is SO much more important than content where important matters like the country's future are concerned.

Typical right-wing "values."

I beats the Bush-or-chimp comparisons we heard for 8 years. By God, why are you holding a private citizen to a higher standard of behavior than the flipping Vice President? LMAO!

Then again, liberals hold McDonalds to a higher standard than they do politicians...

No, the liberals I know keep saying Obama purposely threw the debate as a genius gambit to draw Romney out to be pounced on. We're waiting for the pounce...

Any minute now!

Rolling Stoner is basically a lifestyle magazine for a clique subset of music tastes and nothing more. It's the rock music version of Cat Fancy.

Hollyweirdos always like using their entertainment connections to add bogus weight to their angry, arrogant rants. Rolling Stoner is a forum for the publication of such self-stroking articles and little else. They're the usual spoiled brat entertainment jet set crowd that stash their money overseas and have illegal aliens scrub their crappers while paying lip service to the little guy.

You were a no-class troll as drama llama. You were a no-class troll as Epicwasteofspace, and you're still a no-class troll as nyuk nyuk. But at least you had the honesty to take a name that fits you - the signature sound of a stooge.

The feminine, ex-Marxist persona is a little puzzling. But I leave that to you and your therapist.
