Its is a DEBATE. Not a fight. Before you people get all giddy, you better stop and think what NON liberals are going to see in his performance. Not everyone is a rude jerk or supports it like you people.

Biden couldn't help but laugh at the idiocy of Ryan.

Then he effectively countered and called him out.

No , I remember that it looked like the republicans just can't find enough theaters of war in the middle east. Iran and Syria ...Then that Ryan wanted the stimulus money was painful. You are delusional.

BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith: “So did Biden practice laughing at Ryan???”

ABC’s Rick Klein: “Biden on verge of breaking down in laughter when Ryan talks.”

Former Eric Cantor staffer Brad Dayspring: “Joe Biden needs to realize this isn’t a Senate Foreign

Relations Hearing. His laughter and condescending attitude is a disaster.”

Radio host Neal Boortz: “Looking like Biden’s gameplan is to laugh his way through this.”

Townhall.com’s Guy Benson: “Will Biden laugh his ass off at the terrible economy, too?”

Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza: “Ok. I have decided. I find the Biden smile slightly unsettling.”

PBS’ Jeff Greenfield: “Biden has always had a smile that at times is really, really inappropriate.”

Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard: “Can’t tell yet if Biden’s smirking, laughs, eye-rolling, head shaking, works for him or not against the oh-so-young looking eager Ryan.”

Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer: “Biden is at risk of having his laugh come across like Gore’s sighs. He should knock it off.”

The New York Times’ Ashley Parker: “Biden’s grin is Chesire Cat caliber.”

Republican strategist Ron Bonjean: “Biden laughing does not come off with the intended effect. It is actually hurting him. Looks very condescending.”

Movie critic Roger Ebert: “Joe! Stop smiling and laughing!”

Washington Times’ Emily Miller: “Biden laughing when he disagrees with Ryan is so annoying. Like a child in time out.”

Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin: “Biden’s laughing is losing the debate- obnoxious”

Comedy Central’s Indecision: “If this keeps up much longer, Joe Biden’s going to sprain his laugh muscles.”
Thanks for posting this. I was curious to know what others outside of city-data members were saying. Guess I wasn't the only one who thought the over zealous grinning and smirking was inappropriate. Not very statesman-like.

I thought the greatest point that Biden made was on social security and medicare...WHO DO YOU TRUST. The Rupublicans who have been trying to get rid of it from its inception or us. That is a great point.
