Remember when Joe Biden kicked Paul Ryan's ass up and down the stage last year?

[Drunken Irishman]

Good times!



LOVE YA, JOE!

[Tanuki]

1. I loved Joe's "Oh, now you're Jack Kennedy!" moment

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. Yes!

Highlight of the night right there. Eddie Munster taken to the woodshed!

[longship]

2. Some rememberances.

I can't believe you just said that!


Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sorry, I just can't stop laughing.

[Tanuki]

3. And who could forget....

"With all due respect, that's a bunch of malarkey!"

[flamingdem]

24. He was wonderful!

[calimary]

4. That was a thing of beauty!

The seasoned pro taught the snot-nosed young upstart with the big ego more than a few new things. Wiped his ass and changed his diaper and stuffed the dirty one down his throat. Showed him in no uncertain terms where the corner in the back of the room was and how to wear the waiting dunce cap there, that had "paul ryan" written on it.

It was like the kid not quite old enough for Little League who thought he was the big rough-n-tough bad-ass - who finally had to bounce the ball to Babe Ruth.

Hey little punk-ass - when Joe Biden was laughing at you, we were ALL laughing at you. As you deserve. Then AND now.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

36. teeeheee!

.

Wiped his ass and changed his diaper and stuffed the dirty one down his throat. 

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dopers_Greed]

5. I remember that night well

I was insanely nervous because of Obama's disastrous performance in the prior debate. I couldn't watch the Veep debate live because of plans, so in the middle of it, I texted my sister to find out how it was going. When she responded that Biden was "laughing at him the entire time," I knew I was in for a treat, and YouTube'd the debate as soon as I got home.

6. Seems like Yesterday

[ForgoTheConsequence]

7. It was great.

But I couldnt believe how many people said Ryan won the next day. The media really wanted Biden to lose and they tried their best to make him look like a bully.

[nyquil_man]

8. That debate should be required viewing for anybody who thinks Screech Ryan is an "intellectual"

eom

[Marie Marie]

17. Or that Joe Biden wouldn't be outstanding as our next President.

I know that there is no one who should "presume" to be our nominee, but that option usually does go to the sitting VP. I don't understand all this tip toeing around Hillary and waiting to see if she decides to run. Why should Biden's decision rest upon hers - he's earned the right to run as much as she has, certainly has the qualifications to be our next President and he should not defer to her. Just my opinion as an avid Biden fan...

[Bandit]

41. I agree with you but I doubt he could beat Hillary in a Primary.

IMO either one will be a good if not great President..

[Spitfire of ATJ]

33. Screech and Squawk. All he does is parrot RW Talking Points....

The idiots who produce them watched him in those debates and said he did well because he got so many of them out there.

[nyquil_man]

34. I'd be willing to bet that most of them said similar things about Sarah Palin.

"She went over the heads of the media!" "She got her message out there!" "GO TEAM GO!"

[Spitfire of ATJ]

39. That's also why TO THIS DAY they feel they need to find the right spokesmodel...

Then there are those who would settle for nothing less than seeing the Republican in the debate with Obama pull out a bull whip and "put that boy in his place".

[Mass]

9. The media missed that. They continue to see Paul Ryan as the leader of the House GOP

and to make fun of Biden as being goofy.

But yeah, love you Joe.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. Pubs always seem to have one lightweight on the ticket.

Either the top or the bottom

[vankuria]

11. Or Both!

[Greybnk48]

12. It was a thing of beauty.

Such a joy to watch.

[JBoy]

13. So good it's in the gif museum

[BlancheSplanchnik]

37. BwaaaaHAAAAAAAA!

Ooooooo! More from the gif museum please! Soooooo funny!

[JBoy]

40. OK, a few more:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. soo great!

Thanks!!!

[Skittles]

14. I honestly think Biden went easy on that nitwit

Biden is too much of a gentlemen to absoutely humiliate the guy but make no mistake - he could have

[IrishAyes]

15. One of my favorite memories. Poor Ryan never stood a chance!

And to think, the Repukes like to be as dismissive of our Joe as they were of President Carter.

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Ryan got spanked in public, sent back to his weirdo workout

Biden lifts bags of sand, slaps wild boars for exercise.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. omg!!

You're cracking me UP! !!!!!

[krawhitham]

18. Oh, you mean the night Joe saved the election

[LAGC]

42. He did certainly turn things around after that dismal first debate performance by Obama.

With just his simple, mocking smile he laid bare the fact that they were beating around the bush, without going into specifics.

Romney-Ryan's entire strategy hinged on not going into details of what they were about to do to the middle class and working poor.

Instead, all they were left with is "NOT Obama" which isn't exactly a great rallying cry for anyone other than their base.

[awoke_in_2003]

19. I love Joe. nt

[irisblue]

20. geez...the thought of that

slimey rat bastard Ryan ....nightmares....Pres Obama owes Biden for that night....

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Yes.

The media had been busy lapping up the narrative that one crap debate performance by Obama was going to sink the race for him.

Biden came in ready to kick some ass, and he did.

[treestar]

25. That made me quite nervous!

Everyone was going on about Obama's failures in that first debate, Mittens was gaining. We needed Joe to do a great job and he did.

[Warren DeMontague]

46. Yeah, although I think they - the media - desperately wanted it to be a horse race.

If a shit debate performance could really make that much difference in this day and age (not including, perhaps, Nixon in 1960) we would have sworn in President Kerry in 2005.

[B Calm]

22. I like Joe more than Hillary, is there a chance he'll run for POTUS?

[MadrasT]

23. Thanks for the warm memories.

That debate was a joy to behold.

[Little Star]

26. Best debate I ever watched!

[myrna minx]

27. He was masterful.

That was a fun night. K&R

[Blue Owl]

28. With the fondest of recollections

n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

30. Remember when the media was in love with Paul Ryan?

It ended that night. He's been irrelevant ever since.

[Atman]

31. These GOP freaks all look like cartoon characters!

Ted Cruz looks like Grandpa Munster.

Paul Ryan is the guy in "The Triplets of Belleville.

Mitch McConnell is the turtle in the old Warner Brothers cartoons...

[w8liftinglady]

32. OMG....Im taking Ted Cruz and spreading it

We love Raphael here in Texas.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

45. the middle one....

Amazing!!!!

[Whisp]

35. We need more Joebell...

haven't heard too much from him lately.

[Incitatus]

43. Yes, but I like this photo better

good times indeed
