HE'S JUST SO WACKY!

JOE BIDEN IS A GENIUS: “For this debate, for part of this next debate, do what I did for part of the last two debates. Literally, turn the sound off. I’m not being… I’m not joking now. Literally, turn the sound off.” No but seriously. Literally. [CBS News]

    Hey, Joe looks Botoxed in this pic, too, or maybe he just loses his wrinkles when looking at boobs.

  2. Tommy Says Soooo says at 4:12 pm, October 14th, 2008

    He just don’t have enough jam.

    Ewww…that’s what Sarah Palin does when she watches Tina Fey… ewww…

  4. SuperRounder says at 4:13 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Joe, you don’t need the black vote that bad. Just go back to the bar.

  5. HomoPolitico says at 4:15 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Joe Biden cares about black boobies.

  6. Serolf Divad says at 4:16 pm, October 14th, 2008

    This is how it works: wait 15 1/2 seconds into the last debate, right after the moderator says: “Hello and thank you for tuning into…” and that exact moment you turn down the volume and start side B of “Dark Side of the Moon.” And then… pay attention, because this part is important… and then you smoke a fattie… all of it, very quickly… drag as long and deep as you can. Hold your breath, let the THC soak into your system. Then pop a few shrooms. Then sit back and enjoy the show.

  7. Watch the debate with the sound off and when the moderator begins to speak, start “Dark Side of the Moon.” I’m telling you, it’s trippy, man.

  8. wx insider says at 4:17 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Biden looks like the inside of an oreo… meh..

  9. Joe Biden doing community outreach work…

  10. BillyClubb says at 4:18 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Hmmm, Senator Joe, checkin’ out the cleavage… Busted!

  11. MathewBrooks says at 4:19 pm, October 14th, 2008

    ASHY!! get them some lotion!

  12. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:19 pm, October 14th, 2008

    I recommend watching the debate with a mute-Republican.

  13. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:20 pm, October 14th, 2008

    But how will I know to drink when McCain says “My Friends”?

    Oh yeah, his lips will be moving.

  14. SayItWithWookies says at 4:20 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Turn the sound off?! And risk missing McCain’s “You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!” tirade? At this point it could happen at any moment, and I’m going to be watching him and listening as much as I possibly can.

  15. BillyClubb says at 4:21 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Sir, I like your politics!! Smokin’ a fatty and poppin’ shrooms, that’s the way to get right to the core of the issues.

  16. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:21 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Proposed caption/alt-text: “Hey ladies, how ’bout we make a reverse Oreo.”

  17. Serolf Divad: I was 30 seconds too late…

  18. How am I gonna know when to drink if the sound is off?

  19. slithytoves says at 4:25 pm, October 14th, 2008

    I do this for all of the debates anyway because I DVR them and watch them when I get up at 4:00am, and I don’t want to disturb the other tenants. It’s the only way to watch the debates. Seriously. With so many scripted lines, you can pretty much read their lips after a few minutes…. Try watching the vp debate without sound - wow!

  20. PineyWoodster says at 4:26 pm, October 14th, 2008

    grendel: Striking difference between the offices of the President and Vice President - Obama gets to outreach to the nubile co-eds while Biden … not so fortunate …

  21. Tommy Says Soooo says at 4:26 pm, October 14th, 2008

    FMA: I often say that to the missus, and I lose the debate prematurely.

  22. InKnockYouUs says at 4:27 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Biden is quoted in the article: “He’s like me. He’s like me!” shouted Biden forcefully. “And all of you!” He was talking about how we should let Mickey Mouse vote.

  23. 2druk2phluq says at 4:35 pm, October 14th, 2008

    dano: Win

  24. eatsshootsleaves says at 4:36 pm, October 14th, 2008

    “She brought up the length of my service. She said in the middle of that debate as she was winking at y’all, she said she’d been listening to my speeches since she was in second grade. Well, I guess, just like she can see Russia from Alaska, she can see Delaware from Alaska. She’s got great eyesight. I was inclined to tell her in that debate, but I was trying to be a good boy, I know you were all surprised I was, weren’t you? You were all surprised. You were, weren’t you?” joked the senator.

    Biden is singlehandedly going to save comedy during the Obama administration. The Obama impersonator on SNL sucks, and Obama is too hopey to be funny. Every week they should just concentrate on the dopey adventures of Joe Biden, literally.

    I’ll say that again: literally.

  25. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:36 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Biden looks like he’s ready to bust out and get Martha and Izora to join him in a rousing rendition of “(You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real.”

  26. Who let the dogs out, indeed, ladies. Now let’s do the “Electric Slide”.

  27. iwillsavethispatient says at 4:37 pm, October 14th, 2008

    “Biden voters, who dined on chicken and chocolate mousse” - eeurgh, that’s not a combo of flavors I can believe in.

  28. Tommy Says Soooo says at 4:41 pm, October 14th, 2008

    And I’m telling you I’m not going.

  29. Sussemilch says at 4:41 pm, October 14th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: It’ll be glorious when it happens. At some point the realization will hit that he is no longer risking anything, and that even the exposure of his barely restrained fury couldn’t make things any worse… and his face will contort, and bubble, and explode in expletives and his zombie arms will slam the podium in a hurricane of unreigned rage.

    “I’m not being elected President? Is that what this is? I’m being sent back to the Senate? This is funny. That’s what this is. This is… [lunges at Obama] …I’m gonna rip the eyeballs out of your head and piss in your dead skull!”

  30. eatsshootsleaves says at 4:42 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Joe Biden and Barack Obama = Mel Gibson and Danny Glover?

  31. Itsjustme says at 4:43 pm, October 14th, 2008

    The girl on the right looks like she is saying Fo’ real?

  32. Tommy Says Soooo says at 4:51 pm, October 14th, 2008
  33. Loliverz says at 4:54 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Pretty sure that’s Steny Hoyer. Wonkette FAILS again.

  34. I think it looks like Prince Charles.

  35. CivicHoliday says at 5:06 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Am loving the comments on the CBS website after this story. A whole lot of McNutty! Take this gem:

    “You have never witness racism, sexism, or any other type of hate filled “ism” being offered by the GOP, because since the days of Lincoln, the GOP has been the party bent on preserving the union. It has never wavered.”

    Hahahahahahahahahaha, oh my oh my, I need some kleenex…

  36. bitchincamaro says at 5:08 pm, October 14th, 2008

    This comment is racist and I apologize in advance:

    Which one is “chicken” and which one is “chocolate mousse”?

  37. iwillsavethispatient: You forgot the best part: they had chicken and chocolate mousse with Joe’s face on it. Joe’s orange, wrinkle-free, adorable face.

  38. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:17 pm, October 14th, 2008

    bitchincamaro: My tears of laughter do not at all condone the implicit racism in your comment, but still… WIN.

  39. WikipediaBrown says at 5:25 pm, October 14th, 2008

    I’ve been watching the debates with the volume off since all of this started. It seriously is the best way to do it. The first debate was hilarious because McCain looked SO PO’d and I couldn’t put it in context. I thought that Obama had called Cindy a trollop or a…oh wait that wouldn’t piss of McCain…you know what I mean. Anyway it was hilarious. I highly suggest it!

  40. keepinitrealyo says at 5:47 pm, October 14th, 2008

    eatsshootsleaves: In reverse, obviously.

  41. keepinitrealyo says at 5:50 pm, October 14th, 2008

    It’s a trick! If people watch without the sound, voters will be left with the choice between dreamy Obama and the wierdly-proportioned old McCain. Nolo contendre! Game over man!

    Biden, you evil-genius bastard. Literally.

  42. CooterMarie says at 5:54 pm, October 14th, 2008

    I’ve been playing the Joe Biden drinking game for awhile now and I’m wasted. My liver is literally failing. This isn’t hyperbole, folks, I literally, literally need a transplant or at least a good colon cleanse.

  43. WikipediaBrown: I like a one-sided debate. I listen to the question, listen to Hopey, and then yell “shut up you old bitch” or somesuch and mute McCain’s response.

  44. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:35 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: You have to be careful, though. If you don’t sync it up right, you can have a really bad trip.

  45. dano: Watch the increase in the old man tremors in McCranky’s hands.
    The first time he drops the mike: one sip.
    The second time: two sips.

    If he wanders in front the moderator’s teleprompter: chug.
    If wanders off stage: order a Depth Charge and knock it back.

    Twil be fun.

  46. vintageways says at 9:56 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Why would you need the sound on when CNN’s tracker-thing tells you all you need to know? I don’t even need to look at who is talking.

  47. BruceLee5000 says at 1:51 am, October 15th, 2008

    bitchincamaro: FTW! That’s not racist! It’s transcendent! [ly, hilarious!]

  48. Ain’t that “Frangela” in the photo with Joe MBNA? That’s what I’m thinkin’, girrrrrl!

  49. thefrontpage says at 12:17 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Joe-B likes hisself some funky sistahs!

    Yo’, go, Joe!*
