Bill Maher's tweet in the title above pretty much captures my impression of the veep candidates debate. I would also be comfortable with the headline of Alessandra Stanley's New York Times article, "Night of Withering Ripostes, Mostly Delivered by Biden." Although, even Ryan's big zinger about Biden's gaffes came off as scripted and labored.

It really did look and sound like the seasoned veteran having his way with the smarty-pants college kid. Ryan appeared a little intimidated, and with good reason. He was up against the Democratic party's toughest debater.
