BODY LANGUAGE: LOVE OR HATE HIM, IT WAS ALL JOE

NEW YORK (AP) -- This time, they didn't need Big Bird.

Because really, who needed a "Sesame Street" character to grab all the post-debate attention when there was Joe Biden's smile- or laugh, chuckle, grimace, grin, smirk, or "goofy face," according to various descriptions?

Whether you loved or hated his performance - a decision that seemed to split (surprise!) along partisan lines - it was Biden who dominated the conversation during and after Thursday's vice-presidential debate, with his animated facial reactions to almost anything his opponent, Paul Ryan, uttered.

The vice president also came up with the two catchiest phrases of the night - "bunch of malarkey" and "bunch of stuff" - both of them employed (and tweeted, and retweeted) to paint his Republican opponent as untruthful.

Bullshit by any other name is still bullshit and Joe doesn't mind saying so. Good for Joe. If you don't want your "stuff" to be called "malarkey" then stop all that bullshitting. (read lying)
