In a followup debate analysis, Brit Hume of Fox News said these significant words about Biden's childish behavior: "My sense was that it was so compelling that people probably couldn’t take their eyes off of it." In fact, in our house, we, early on, agreed that Biden's performance was so distracting that we weren't actually listening to what Ryan was saying.
Now that I have had time to think about it and have actually replayed much of the video, I believe that Joe Biden was intentionally coached to act that way so that voters would not hear all the "truths" that Ryan would be saying about the failures of the Obama Administration. At same time, Biden was able to lie and distort Obama's record because Ryan was too much of a gentleman not to similarly interrupt Biden or distract the audience.
The bottom line is that Team Obama didn't want this debate; and, definitely, didn't want to lose it on the facts. So, the easiest way to do that with someone who is so gaffe-prone like Biden was to make a complete farce out of it. For that, the Vice President gets a gold star.
