Joe the Debater: Everyone Should Just “Calm Down!��?
On Twitter and Facebook during the Biden-Ryan VP Debate last Thursday, I offered running commentary. All but the first comment below occurred during the debate:
Grinning, gesticulating Biden was doing his best to look energetic vis-a-vis the younger Ryan; but having grin is different from having game. . . .
Joe cracks up when Ryan states we're watching the unraveling of the Obama foreign policy. . . .
Disagree with Joe, and he answers with a "You Idiot!" tone. . . .
I think Joe thinks he's on a roll. . . .
A panicky Joe tells everyone to calm down. . . .
Biden's body and mouth are engaged -- am not sure about his mind. . . .
Can you imagine Biden in charge of GM? He's far too pushy and not interested in listening to other people. . . .
Biden argues like a blowhard, Ryan responds with reason and consideration. . . .
Ryan comes across as much more considered and judicious in his approach to issues and decision-making.
Style is one thing, substance another. But in this case, a catastrophe in style well reflects a breakdown in substance, a crisis of vision.
Thus, a concluding comment: "Biden is utterly pompous. He perfectly represents the Washington-centric establishment that is bankrupting the country. . . . Obama-Biden's gaping, smiling cavernous mouths would swallow up kids, family, jobs, freedom, dignity, America -- All in the belly of the beast.”
