While debating against Paul Ryan tonight, Vice President Joe Biden will live-tweet on Twitter, courtesy of The Onion.
The Onion, a satirical news organization, has painted Biden under a comedic light since becoming vice president.
Previous Onion stories on Biden included hitchhiking to the 2012 Democratic National Convention, stating life four years ago can't touch "the summer of '87," using a motorcycle to jump over the Vietnam Memorial, offering guitar lessons in the White House, and washing his Trans Am on the White House driveway, to name a few.
For tonight's one-night-only vice presidential debate, the Biden caricature will give his thoughts during the 90-minute debate with Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan.
The tweets can be found on their Onion Politics page and tweets are scheduled to start at 8 p.m. EDT.
Onion Politics also covered the first presidential debate last week, submitting tweets such as:
"Somewhere, Bill Clinton is shouting answers to all of Jim Lehrer's questions at his television"
"Obama's thinking about mentioning Bill Ayers just to throw Romney a bone #debates"
"In his closing remarks, Jim Lehrer is now telling the candidates how much he hates them #debates"
The real Joe Biden will not be tweeting tonight but debate Ryan on the themes of domestic and foreign policy with Martha Raddatz of ABC News serving as moderator.
The actual debate starts at 9 p.m. EDT, live, from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.
