You cannot do anything BUT laugh at those lies. The lies are so blatant, they catch you and all you can do is LAUGH.

narrative that treats Biden the same. Nora O'Donnell just said that the independent voters she spoke with said Biden looked "unglued." (Her colleague also said it came across as arrogance.)

The one thing that might counter their attempt to smear him for his smiles is that he really does have an adorable grin.

He and Obama--when either one smiles, the whole room lights up. When they smile together, the wattage is blinding.

I think the sheer adorableness of Biden's grin will help a lot, but I also think the MSM will "Dean-scream" his smiles and try to beat him with their criticism of his smiling and laughing at Ryan.

Too bad some people were complaining saying it was disrespectful. I told someone "This is a debate! Not a Carebear Convention!"

You laugh at them. Secretly they feel inadequate; the aggression just covers up their insecurity. So when a pseudo intellectual like Paul Ryan gets his big ideas laughed at, he does not know how to respond.

It was a delicious sight to see. I hope the president takes that approach next week instead of looking down.
