Vice President Joe Biden's old-school use of the word "malarkey" to describe Romney-Ryan fibbing was immediately turned into a fundraising vehicle by the Obama campaign.

In an email sent out exactly 30 minutes after the debate ended, the campaign said:

That's it. Joe Biden made it clear.

We will not let Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and these Republicans get away with their malarkey.

We've got 25 days until the election to beat these guys. Let's go win this thing.

Donate $3 or more to elect a Democratic majority for President Obama.
