Politico using Drudge as assignment editor for attack meme - "Is Joe Biden the new Al Gore?"

Your "lib'rul media" in action:

It was the laugh heard around the debate world.

Joe Biden’s hearty chortles and facial expressions quickly dominated the conversation on Twitter and the cable networks in the wake of his first and only vice presidential debate against Paul Ryan.

And the early verdict, at least among some pundits and Republican strategists: it reminded them of Al Gore’s infamous sighs in the 2000 presidential debates against George W. Bush, which were enough to seriously hurt Gore’s candidacy. Biden’s smirking and laughing, while perhaps off-putting to some viewers, is unlikely to shift the race in such a dramatic fashion, especially when the vice president delivered on substance.

“That condescending, smirking, laughing — it was akin to Gore’s sigh,” GOP strategist Mary Matalin said of Biden on CNN Thursday night after the 90-minute debate was over, repeating what many journalists and Mitt Romney supporters were already saying on Twitter.

they don't realize that had Jimmy been in 2012
Had Al been in 2012
Had Kerry been in 2012

with tweets and IPhones and fact checks

Bush's wouldn't have become Presidents and Neither would Reagan

everything would be offset from the start

Had tweets been around in 2004 mass public wise, the Paul Wellstone celebration and the Howard Dean scream and the Al Gore sigh would not have worked

Most of all- had tweets been around, Ralph(ruin my reputation) Nader would have been loudly called out with his bullshit both are the same routine (much like in 2012, it is now known a third party candidate is unwelcome and won't work or win thanks to Nader).

this is not 2000.

this election won't be stolen.
this election won't be ruined

and by the way republicantealibertarians- the curtain is open, and Willard Mitt Romney has as the movie term goes "Shot his load", only his macho bravado crap was done too early.
Now Mittens will be "shooting blanks".

there is nothing left.

The rope-a-dope again works.
(like I said last week).

IMHO.

Smokin' Joe Biden we love you. You tore Glove apart. And Mitt "shot his load".

Response to Matalin's statement needs to be writtten here. I deliberately flipped from CSPAN to CNN post debate for a few minutes for the quick snapshot.

You know what he said loud, and clear and with 100% confidence?

Nonsense!

Then she sighed, rolled her eyes, huffed, and sat back in her chair. Priceless.

So, it's hard not to laugh or smile when he laughs and smiles!

Even they say it themselves, their big grievance is "unlikely to shift the race". And there it is. An admitted nothingburger.

We need a video of how many times Ryan took a drink. "New game: drink every time Joe puts his foot in your ass, Paulie!"
