WASHINGTON (AP) — The wife of Vice President-elect Joe Biden let it slip that her husband had a pick of two jobs in the Obama administration.

[Joiseydude]

So if Biden choose to be secretary of state, who was gonna be the VP?

[BenLurkin]

Sorry but I don't believe that Osama would have have chosen that bumbling buffoon Biden for any significant post.

Veep is perfect for a nincompoop like Biden.

[Coldwater Creek]

hahahahah!

[Mr. Jazzy]

HA!

Living with “Plugs” has given her the same “loose lips”!!!

“Stand up, Chuck! Oh,ah, God love ya’!”

[mrs tiggywinkle]

It would appear that Joe isn’t the only Biden with loose lips. hehe.

[The Sons of Liberty]

He chose VP, because anyone with “half a brain” (like him) can do it if they just shut up and go along with der Fuherer.

[Badeye]

Hmmmm....did somebody in this forum actually believe an intelligent woman would marry Joe Biden?

Just noting the obvious, folks....

[Slings and Arrows]

The family that gaffes together, laughs together.

[OK, we do the laughing. But that didn’t rhyme.]

[Brilliant]

Looks like Hillary got the leftovers, then.

[jennyjenny]

Good grief, it’s contagious!

[Sacajaweau]

He picked Biden for two reasons...Foreign affairs and “Michelle said so”.

[tflabo]

Paging the AARP....please pickup the courtesy phone for a lost senile couple displaying symptoms of senility heading to the White House.

[indthkr]

LOL

[nuconvert]

Best description of Biden was made by VP Cheney - He’s a big blowhard dufus.

[jennyjenny]

Looks like Hillary got the leftovers, then.

I would have loved to see Kerry's reaction to Ms. Biden's admission.

[dead]

Just rubbing Hillary's nose in her sloppy seconds.

She'll pay you back, Joe.

[SERKIT]

Joe was offered 2 three-letter words: J-O-B-S

[linn37]

LOL I bet he told her a lil white lie.

[lonestar]

Who is enjoying the inauguration festivities more?....Hillary or Kerry?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

“Just rubbing Hillary’s nose in her sloppy seconds.
She’ll pay you back, Joe.”

It’s not Joe, it’s “the obama people”. All these drips show her up, robbing her of any power. Kennedy will get the seat too, castrating her GOOD

Fredo Corleone: The heir apparent, but a bumbling incompetent with too much tribal knowledge; he is a many times jilted and therefore always potentially disloyal liability to be contained so as not to become a danger to the organization and its goals.

[Venturer]

Old Joe may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he knows his lilitations.

He isnt smart enough to be secretary of State and he couldnt hide that in that office. He can hide where he is Obma wont bother him for advice and he gives the appearance of being a wheel.

[jalisco555]

She'll pay you back, Joe.

Yup, by taking his job in the next election.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

It would seem that Republican women are more equal than Democratic women —

Democratic males seem to have to dominate their wives to get/stay elected—and are fearful of the wives that we don’t feel any need to dominate, like SARAH PALIN, for example.

So, it looks like we got your Progressive right here.

[TSchmereL]

I wouldn’t say that about Dick Cheney.

[mysterio]

So if Biden choose to be secretary of state, who was gonna be the VP?

My guess is Bayh or John Edwards.

[jla]

Ahh man! I hope Kerry isn't sitting there tomorrow with that sorrowful expression on his face, as he did four years ago. He actually wants people to pity him.
Hillary will be wearing her best happy face.

[NRA2BFree]

What I want to know is what did Biden have on Obama that he would offer him ANYTHING? Biden’s reputation precedes him, so it’s not like Obama didn’t know that Joe is a loose cannon! There are a gazillion people in DC that are better qualified than Joe, that Obama could have chosen. People who don’t have loose lips! IMO, there’s more to Obama picking Joe than we know.

[Right Wing Assault]

Good pick, Joe. Probably less chances of major damage to the country.

[org.whodat]

Did not know big mouth and lose lips was catching.

[Born Conservative]

So BOTH of them need to be muzzled?

[Travis T. OJustice]

Did not know big mouth and lose lips was catching.

Who lost their lips?

[Enchante]

HA HA...... just a nice little “dis” toward Hillary to make her feel like 2nd, 3rd choice..... Hillary, you got the leftovers!!!!

[agrarianlady]

"Pay no attention, please . . . when I say "shhh" it's just a nervous mannerism I picked up. If I want you to keep quiet, I will say "shush".

[ScottinVA]

“Democratic males seem to have to dominate their wives to get/stay elected”

Somehow I don’t see Bill having dominated Hillary.

[Common Tator]

"Veep is perfect for a nincompoop like Biden."

Obama is perfectly stupid enough to appoint Biden Secretary of State.

The Democrats were stupid enough to make Biden head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?

[ltc8k6]

Yeah, Biden was apparently in anyway. He was so in, that he got to choose his job. Wonder why he was so in?

Typical of Biden that he chose the worse job...

[Enchante]

hee hee hee.... what a “dis” for Hillary!!

Hillary got the Biden table scraps tossed on the floor for her to grovel around on her hands and knees......

How nice for Mrs. Biden to rub it in: “Hillary, my husband may be a Bozo but he’s Obama’s bozo now and you’re just the hired help!”

Maybe Hillary will be mistaken for the “cleaning lady” in the midst of some sensitive negotiations, ala Madeline Albright in Bosnia.....

[Enchante]

re: white lie

It does seem hard to believe that Biden or anyone would be offered the “choice” where VP and Secy of State are involved. Any candidate for POTUS is going to figure out who is the best “fit” on the ticket by whatever criteria the candidate develops. I find it implausible that Obambi said to Biden “Hey, Joe, you can be my VP if you feel like it, but consider whether you’d rather have Secy. of State, or maybe any other position you choose in my admin.”

I don’t think it works that way..... Biden was probably just bloviating to his wife to puff himself up, and she was foolish enough to (1) believe him, and (2) let it slip out.

[devere]

I’m amazed that this post has gone 40 deep without anyone posting the obviously relevant words “Larry Sinclair”.

[Oztrich Boy]

Noöne is going to name a SecState before being elected, so why offer it?

The only circumstance is as "Hill, drop out and I'll make you SecState" - but what threat was Biden that he needed to be bribed or placated?

[Zeppo]

The minimal esteem in which I hold Obama would have been substantially increased had he offered Biden the post of Ambassador to Elbonia...

[Tainan]

Its just the beginning of the fun to come!

[anniegetyourgun]

To the victor goes the spoiled.

[SunkenCiv]

The wife of Vice President-elect Joe Biden let it slip that her husband had a pick of two jobs in the Obama administration.

Secretary of the Inferior? Department of Homeland Plagiarism? Okay, I'm out.

[devere]

OK, I’m not posting from work any more.

Larry Sinclair was arrested in DC at his press conference in June and taken to Delaware on apparently fabricated charges. He was eventually released without trial. Joe Biden III is Attorney General of Delaware, and his father will tomorrow become VP of the USA. The extraordinary story that Senator Joe Biden was offered his choice of the two top jobs in the Obama administration could quite plausibly be connected to the Biden family’s valuable service to Barack Obama. Anyone who thinks differently is entitled to their own opinion.

[Free America52]

What I want to know is what did Biden have on Obama that he would offer him ANYTHING?

Simple, Biden was the token white guy to get the white vote during the election. BHO knows he's harmless, we will probably never see poor Joe and Jill. It was only to get elected, and then to have a weak guy to push aside.

[mojitojoe]

Larry Sinclair and Mike Signator

Thanks for bringing that up. I do remember reading something about Joe's son who is the attorney general for the state "taking care of the Larry Sinclair problem" and then he left for Iraq. Is that what you're referring to? I can't remember the details. :o)
