Team Obama jumps on Biden-mocking bandwagon, buys Twitter ad for ‘literally’
Vice President Joe Biden used the word “literally” incorrectly a few times in his Democratic National Convention speech on Thursday, causing the hashtag #literally to explode on Twitter with jokes and mockery at the vice president’s expense.
“If you laid every ‘literally’ that Biden said last night end to end, Paul Ryan would claim he could run the length of them in under 3 hours,” an account called Fake Dispatch tweeted. Many others joked about the development of a new Biden-inspired drinking game.

He’s the smoke and the teleprompters are the mirrors.

I blame Joe’s speech writers and editors who should know how to use litterally properly. Unless Joe thought he could go off script like Clinton – then its all on him.

Aw! Isn’t it cute that the man one heartbeat away from ruling the most powerful nation on Earth has the IQ of a box of paperclips! Aw!

@ Crusty. One heartbeat away from the presidency.
One brain cell ahead of a turnip. It’s a scary thought.

The Ryan/Biden debate should be entertaining.

I wonder how much money the O campaign has to spend now just to monitor, respond and spin Joe’s mistakes into political opportunities?

The sad truth is that Obama and Biden each have nearly equal buffoon index scores.
Obama’s advantage in perception is that a lot of his buffoonery is hidden by his hatred of America. Biden’s saving grace is that he doesn’t hate America. If we were in the middle ages Obama would be classified a licensed fool and Biden classified a natural fool.
OK. Let’s see – Osama bin Laden is dead, General Motors UAW employees are alive, and 57 states are literally on life support.

Thanks Crusty, I didn’t want to say the heartbeat away thing again.

Literally, if it wasn’t so obvious that much of this country is as brain dead as Ol’ Joe, and that we are quite possibly seeing the final nails in the coffin of this once great nation, I literally couldn’t care less!

Biden couldn’t even read his entire speech off of his teleprompter. His famous line was actually (and literally):
“Osama Bin Laden is dead, General Motors is alive, but don’t worry – we’ll eventually get GM too.”
