Who won vice presidential debate? Stars weigh in, joke

USATODAY

Vice President Joe Biden and Republican vice presidential candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) debate as moderator Martha Raddatz looks on at Centre College on Thursday in in Danville, Ky.

Vice president Joe Biden was aggressive. Republican nominee Paul Ryan was calm. Biden called Ryan's comments, at one point, "a bunch of malarkey." Ryan, when defending Mitt Romney's 47 percent remarks, said: "I think the vice-president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way."

Stars watched Thursday's debate and weighed in on Twitter — many of them making wisecracks.

Some reaction:

This Bill Maher comment was re-tweeted more than 6,000 times: "Biden is hitting in one answer all the things Obama left out in the entire first 90 minute debate."
