Even though our heart is not into it (there … I have just lowered expectations) I will be live twitter-twatting the VP debate tonight between Uncle Joe Biden, who is our favoritest uncle of all time because he tells fart jokes at the Thanksgiving table, and zombie-eyed granny-starver Paul Ryan who, we just discovered, is one of those douchebags who wears a ball cap backwards at the gym which automatically means every gym-related conversation with him will start with “So… how much do you bench?” because that is the real measure of a man. Expect Ryan to break Mitt Romney’s world record of 118 lies in an hour and a half by hitting that number in an hour ten and then lying about that later saying he went sub-one hour. Booyah! CRUSHED IT!
He’s a dick.
Also, today is National Coming Out Day so expect at least one surprise. Maybe two….
Twattering below.

Do you think Uncle Joe will do the jerk off motion at a something Ryan says?
I shall be drowsing off. My irate-o-meter iz already overloaded.
Chopper Biden runs down joggin’ Ryan. Kinda like Crocodile Dundee. Old age and treachery and all that.
Watching pre-game on CNN, Wolf Blizter, and I paraphrase, but not much:
“As you can see from our banks and banks of multicolored lights, Barack Obama spoke for four minutes and seventeen seconds longer than Mitt Romney. This speaking more words didn’t, however, correspond with “winning” the debate because it was widely proclaimed that Mitt Romney did so.”
Wait so you’re telling me that these debates and elections aren’t decided by word count? Amazing! Go on….
“Tonight our crack team will be watching even more banks of lights, holograms, and the machine that goes “ping” AKA John King and giving you more probing analysis of what it all means”.
Dear CNN: Much as I appreciate this scintillating “Do all philosophers’ names start with an “S”?” level of political analysis, if you’d spend a tenth of what you do on new and meaningless technical whoop-de-doo to get some actually intelligent analysts rather than partisan political hacks trading zingers (“Barack Obama was bad because he had no case to make, Romney is simply right on the policies!”, yes, thanks Mary Matalin..) if you did that, then you might…. might….
Sigh. Yes you might lose most of your audience.
What was I thinking. Carry on.
He missed a golden opportunity when Palin winked-at-the-world during the last VP debate-a-palooza…
Hearing rumors that Biden intends massive insult of Ryan in first answer by calling him “Congressman”
#itsOn #haters
code word at Fox News for Palin’s Green Room coke dealer = #crackDebateTeam
Is this going to be the live blog? I do NOT twitter-twat…
Never mind… Eli is doing something live. Carry on…
Make that Mister Congressman!
Ryan blathering about foreign policy is a joke considering the countries Romney pissed off during the Olympics!
Biden seems to have brought a whole carload of whoopass with him tonight.
Holy fuck I bet you can hear the Repigs squealing on Mars.
Right about now, Paul Ryan is wishing he was Sarah Palin so Biden would go easier on him.
The only person who should school Obama on how to conduct oneself during a debate is Joe Awesome Biden. Period.
When whippersnapper Ryan talks about spending time with the troops, I immediately wonder why the fit young man has never himself enlisted.
From comments over at Balloon Juice’s liveblogging:
I’m not watching the thing myself, but I choose to accept the veracity of this comment, and I’ll not accept any statements to the contrary!
And Ryan finishes like the used car salesman that he is…
Guess that makes him Cal Worthington now.
Because he’s fighting the war of ideas here at home, of course – it would be such a waste of potential for him to spend time humping a SAW in Herat Province, don’t you know.
Win.
Much grumbling and whining in my Wingnuts & Truthinessers Twitter list. Biden a big ol’ meanie… Radditz in the tank (“I miss Jim Lehrer”)… Yadda-yadda…
Sweet, sweet music. (Particularly nice to see Neal Boortz all grouchy.)
Paul Ryan came across as a twenty year old nervous new hire dealing with a 50 year old veteran employee who’s got a bunch of employee of the month and year awards. Quite different from the Time pics from earlier where he looked like a 40 year old trying to look like a twenty year old punk.
Cal Worthington wasn’t a complete liar like Ryan. (I think Spot wouldn’t taken a piece out of Lyin’ Ryan. About thirty seconds in.)
As if there weren’t enough reasons to think Luke Russert hasn’t a clue. “All Ryan had to do was hold his own”!
Christ on a biscuit- all I’ve heard from the right for the last two months is that they couldn’t wait for debate when Ryan was going to clean Biden’s clock, and joking that the moderate might have to stop the fight when Joe gets too badly bloodied.
Switched over to Fox, and they were as interested in reliving last week’s debate as talking about this one. That tells you what you need to know about who won.
America’s “free press” is declaring the debate a tie.
Republicans are all pouty and shouty because somebody (Biden) was mean to somebody else (Ryan) and by mean they mean “mature” and “prepared”.
