Paul Ryan were the two candidates on stage at Thursday’s vice presidential debate, but a third character emerged: Joe Biden’s laugh, which didn’t escape the notice of tweeting politicos. (And led, of course, to at least three satirical Twitter accounts: Laughing Joe Biden , Biden Smirk , and yet another Laughing Joe Biden .) Weekly Standard’s Mark Hemingway : “Joe Biden’s laughing through talking about Iran sanctions?” Play Slideshow TIME’s Michael Scherer : “Not sure debate cameras have been light tested for Biden’s teeth. Best to watch with sunglasses.” Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein : “Biden’s strategy seems to be to laugh at Ryan constantly. Will it work to infantalize Ryan, or backfire like Gore sighing?” NBC’s David Gregory : “Biden’s smile is out of control.” BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith : “So did Biden practice laughing at Ryan???” ABC’s Rick Klein : “Biden on verge of breaking down in laughter when Ryan talks.” Former Eric Cantor staffer Brad Dayspring : “Joe Biden needs to realize this isn’t a Senate Foreign Relations Hearing.

He should knock it off.” The New York Times’ Ashley Parker : “Biden’s grin is Chesire Cat caliber.” Republican strategist Ron Bonjean : “Biden laughing does not come off with the intended effect. It is actually hurting him. Looks very condescending.” Movie critic Roger Ebert : “Joe! Stop smiling and laughing!” Washington Times’ Emily Miller : “Biden laughing when he disagrees with Ryan is so annoying. Like a child in time out.” Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin : “Biden’s laughing is losing the debate- obnoxious” Comedy Central’s Indecision : “If this keeps up much longer, Joe Biden’s going to sprain his laugh muscles.” Read more: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82313.html#ixzz293MwC4sX
