There is blood in the water, b*tches.

Unlike the snooze-fest of a first presidential debate, last night's vice presidential debate was political pugilism at its finest. And after a 90-minute bout, Laughin' Joe Biden edged out an exhausting win over blue-eyed Republican budget boy toy Paul Ryan.

Here's your ten-second breakdown:

Paul Ryan is an even better bullsh*tter than Mitt Romney. Unlike Obama, however, Biden actually called him on it.
Ryan had the pained expression of a man wearing a penis pump all night under the debate table.
Biden's teeth appear to be made of marshmallows.

Overall, the VP debate was everything that the presidential face-off was not: feisty, well-moderated, and largely fact-driven.

ABC foreign correspondent Martha Raddatz did a good job pressing the candidates to clarify and explain their statements. Sadly, that didn't stop Ryan from spinning some seriously specious arguments.

Ryan began the debate strongly by blasting the Obama administration over the Benghazi consulate attack. But then he tried claiming that Congress -- not the Obama administration -- deserved credit for implementing tough sanctions on Iran.

That's like Norris Cole taking credit for carrying the Heat to the NBA title.

P90X fanatic Paul Ryan

Biden was strongest when he simply called out Ryan's crap. He occasionally interrupted Ryan by saying "this is incredible" or "not true, not true." And he called many of the younger congressman's claims "malarkey."

Paul Ryan was the Chairman of the House Budget Committee. He embraced this Budget Control Act.Now Ryan is blaming Obama for a plan that Ryan and other House Republicans put through” “Ryan denounced Obama policies and maneuvers that closely resemble some of his own and made several not-quite-complete statements that resulted in a day of criticism and gave Democrats an opportunity to question both his credibility and his intellectual honesty. , Ryan criticized Obama for ignoring the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles Commission. What Ryan didn’t say is that he served on the commission and voted against its proposals. Ryan criticized Obama’s plan to cut $700 billion from the growth of Medicare. Ryan’s own plan also calls for $700 billion in cuts, though with different details. Why not acknowledge this? Everyone knows it — unless Ryan believes that his audience isn’t up to speed — so why not set the record straight?

Biden wiped the floor with Ryan. Exposed his utter bullshit for the world to see.

Polls and graphs are a dumb mans way of showing false numbers. Not everyone is poled only those who sign online and mouse click a link. Congrats last night instead of thinking what the VP's said. You signed online to click a link. You sir, are a true American. Never think just accept.

When confronted with utter bullshit, how can one not laugh? And how about that moderator who actually moderated? Still waiting on those specifics, Ryan...

Herp derp. No one said the last 4 years were a success. That's why he can't call bullshit. It's okay tho. You old timers are getting up there in age. It's only normal to go senile and forget things.
