Veep Cat and Mouse Game

Here at last is something all Americans, be they Republican or Democrat, can agree upon: Whether it's Obama or Romney who wins the election, he should live and be well for his whole term, because if either Joe Biden or Paul Ryan has to step up to the plate, there's not enough Valium in the pipeline to calm us all down. Tonight we saw the two of them up close and personal in their only televised debate, and here's roughly how it went:

Ryan: Our ambassador was unprotected in Libya. 
Biden: Bibi Netanyahu is a friend of mine.
Ryan: We will not put more of our troops in danger.
Biden: Yuk, yuk, tee hee, hardy, har-har.  
Ryan: Romney is ready to be president.
Biden: My wife and child were killed in a car crash.
Ryan: Mitt and I love this country and we will defend it.
Biden: I was there when Lincoln gave his address at Gettysburg.
Ryan: Mitt Romney will create jobs.
Biden: You, sir, are no Jack Kennedy.
Ryan: We have a five-point plan to end abortion. 
Biden: Bibi Netanyahu is a friend of mine.

Low Blow: Are those his real ears or was Paul Ryan wearing a Mickey Mouse cap?
Lower Blow: It seems to me if you are eager to show off your big mouth full of ill-fitting dentures, they should at least be white. Joe, get yourself some baking soda!
