I didn't see anything amusing in Paul Ryan's serious discussion of the crisis going on in the middle east, and Biden's laughter was outright disgusting.
What did the vice President find so dammed amusing?
I don't think people being bombed, women and children being slaughtered is amusing at all, and had I been Ryan, I would not only have asked the vice President what he found so amusing, I would have gone one step further, and told the moderator, "thank you, but I refuse to be seated next to a person who is obviously amused at the torture going on in the middle east."
He is not portraying the office of the vice President of these united states in a positive manner."
"He should be ashamed of himself".
"Frankly, he disgust me".
Then I would have walked off the stage.
Sadly that didn't happen, but it should have.
Biden is one heartbeat away from the presidency, and it scares the hell out of me that this bafoon could be the leader of the free world.
Bob.
Many people ridicule what they think are lies and misrepresentation with bemused smiles and smirks. It's preferable to yelling out "you lie" for example.
people complaining that Biden's laughter is "disgusting" while Paul Ryan proceeds to bring up car crashes which is how Joe lost his first wife and daughter. Now that's more a long the lines of "disgusting"

Biden was laughing at the BS and mischaracterizations spewing from Ryan - not laughing at serious situations. You know that. You can't see it but there is similar laughter and head shaking over posts here.
for the people who is saying Biden was acting like a bully last night. Iran is a Bully, North Korea is a bully, and we need someone who can give it back, and that is Biden.
Ryan is a nice person (I personally find repulsive his position on abortion and birth control) and he might be somehow informed BUT he is not VP material. No offense.
That is correct....and clear every time he speaks. He impresses me about like Tim Geithner impresses me, which is to say that there are few public figures that come to mind who sound more mechanical and disingenuous. Heaven forbid that he ever would become President....he is way over his head.
I can't imagine anyone thinking that we have anything but the worst choices before us in decades this time around.
Biden had to stop Ryan before he could implement the Gish Gallop technique of drowning your opponent out with lies before they can address each one. Biden was successful at what I will call "mendax interruptus".
Did I hear correctly or did Ryan say that we should "absolutly apologize for America" when the mod asked about something US servicemen had done in Afghanistan? I am pretty sure he said that.
After last night's debate, I think Biden should be cast at The Joker in the next Batman film.
