He is laughing at the boy child who isn't actually saying anything.

Reagan did it and it really hurt him.

He needs to bring it back

Only proper response to lies and malarkey

He's laughing when he's listening, pissed off when he's talking. That's going to track very, very well.

It reinforces the opinion that a thinking person should have when Ryan opens his mouth.

Well someone is.... but not Joe

The problem with the prez was he let all the lies slid by.

If he was just laughing and not saying anything, you'd be right.

HOWEVER, he's smacking down Ryan left and right and so I think it actually helps.

If all he had was that great big Joe Biden grin, it would look bad. But he is clearly LOVING kicking Ryan's SORRY ASS.

Biden is doing a great job on that twerp.

Laughter is a powerful weapon and it's perfectly acceptable in a debate, if you ask me.

It's just right. Paulie's constant slurping at his glass is telling, though. Dry mouth. Oh, darn.

I think it is working well.

they're both laughing at the twerp

(Happened in the first third of the debate--can't remember the exact question, but it was on foreign policy ...)

and it's all playing just fine.

Biden is gutting this little pip squeak.

Romney only *thought* he debated confidently. Biden's doing it right.

see how enjoyable it is.
