I’m late because of Bible Study, but here we go.
2108: Biden blibbering and blabbering, uhh, umm, well, uhh, let me tell you, bleh, blah.
2111: Good for Paul Ryan pointing out we should apologize for Taliban urination.
2113: Wife home, hang on. OK, she’s taken care of.
2115: I like this debate better. These guys are less polished.
2116: Biden not going to disclose classified information. Good for you Joe. Good citizen there.
2117: What’s the deal with the little triangle of hair in the middle of Ryan’s forehead.
2118: Biden looks ridiculous. He’s going to explode. I can’t wait until he does.
2119: Ryan charming there, calling Biden Irish. They had to taser Biden for a week of intensive training to keep him from just saying “shit” outright.
2120: Biden is right – nuclear fission is not an easy process. It requires an awful lot of engineering prowess that not a lot of people have.
2122: Biden is patronizing and seething. I love this. He’s a loose cannon. They need to get him off the ticket. Zing! Romney’s a flip-flopper! Just like John Kerry!
2123: Jen notices that the VPs are sitting. Good observation. They should always do that. They seem more comfortable.
2124: Jen confused about Joe Biden’s age, thinks it’s implausible that his parents are still alive.
2125: Biden’s a bulldog. If I remember right, I liked him best in the democratic debates in 2008. Here’s the post from that debate.
2126: Here’s a nice story. Mitt Romney’s a good guy. Ryan zings Biden for his gaffes! Funny! Hahah!
2129: Biden’s family died. Did not know that. That’s a sad story. Biden just knocked out his speech, until the moderator cut him off. She’s got a ton more authority than Lehrer. She should be the democratic vice president.
2132: Martha, Martha, Martha.
2133: The stimulus was a good idea. Sorry Republicans. We’re in a really bad state if that doesn’t happen.
2134: Biden is being something of a condescending ass though.
2135: Ryan gave a nice little speech. Yes, you need to entitlement reform too. See this is easy.
2136: No, Ryan didn’t talk about death panels Joe. Yes, Sarah Palin is a clown. We need to merge these people and together they might be sensible.
2138: Ryan hasn’t been obnoxious. But Biden is twice as aggressive as Romney. Ryan annoyed at interruptions.
2139: O’s tied 1-1.
2140: Yes, Joe, quite interrupting.
2141: Yes, we need to raise the retirement age. People live longer now.
2144: Joe, hush! Ryan just zapped him, and he got obnoxious.
2145: Biden arguing with Raddatz now too.
2145: 800 million billion dollars! I think we call that quadrillion.
2147: You guys interpret numbers differently. You have your own statisticians and your own think tanks supporting you. You’re throwing numbers at each other that are meaningless.
2148: From former college teammate:
“…We need to be careful about raising the retirement age not bc its wrong but because life expectancy is different for different groups of people. Don’t call it retirement if parts of the population wont live that long.” Nice point. Maybe if those different groups had health care, their life expectancy would change too.
2150: This is is an obnoxious back and forth. Biden interrupts to ask if he can interrupt.
2153: I wonder what it means to “demagogue” them?
2153: Ryan has been very patient. He should snap.
2154: Wow, it’s hard to get anything out of this.
2156: Biden is right on one point – we don’t need more tanks and our military agrees with that premise.
2157: OK, not for nothing, but we have a decade long war and lost 2000 men? Vietnam was like 60,000 wasn’t it?
2158: The Afghans just mow through superpowers.
2200: Jeter just struck out. Yeah boy!
2202: Let me tell you what will happen in Afghanistan in 2014. We’ll still have 10s of thousands of troops there. The “combat” mission will end, but we will still be there. Our troops will still die. Biden is going to deal in semantics.
2203: They say Martha’s name a lot more than they were saying Jim’s name last week. Maybe they should say “Martha, Sweetheart”.
2205: Both of these guys are less polished in their English than the presidential debate.
2206: The calendar works the same every year. They agree on that. Sort of.
2207: Biden is correct – a lot easier to fight a war in Libya than Syria. I think he answered that Syria question properly.
2209: Never fight a ground war in Asia.
2210: Ryan right too. Though I think it’s irresponsible to completely bypass the UN. Good point on Biden – you say you don’t go through the UN – but what DO you do?
2213: This debate IS historic. Historically obnoxious and contentious.
2214: Statements of faith. And now abortion. By the way, the baby is alive at 7 weeks. That heart was pounding away. The baby was squirming and moving.
2216: You can hear Biden huffing in the background when he’s off the screen.
2217: Biden’s religion makes him interrupt, because that’s who he is, an interrupter. Now, here he goes on abortion.
2218: Interestingly, there are people out there that are trying to outlaw circumcision, but they’re cool with abortion. Silly, I know.
2220: Come on, the Dems would pick someone equally radical for the Supreme Court – just the opposite sort of radical.
2222: Wow, the moderator asked Biden if he was embarrassed about the tone of the campaign. Let’s see if it answers the question. About the campaign. Here’s a 47% comment. Are you going to answer the question? There we go, finally. For about 4 seconds he talked about SuperPACs which I hate because I think we need major campaign finance reform.
2224: Let’s see if Ryan gets to the part about the campaign attack ads. He, ironically, goes on the attack in answer to the question. OK, he’s not answering that question very well either, as he can’t criticize the SuperPACs.
2226: Ryan’s character is about 12 million jobs. Glad we did that.
2228: Biden’s character is the middle class.
2229: Biden’s closing, he calls his inheritance godawful. Yup, true.
2230: Top of the 9th. Thome up. How about a home run. Put poor Jim Johnson out there again with a one run lead.
2230: Paul Ryan thanks Joe Biden. I like these token statements.
