Biden’s wife lets slip he was offered VP or secretary of state

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

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

Jill Biden said President-elect Barack Obama gave Biden the choice of being secretary of state or vice president. The vice president-elect tried to hush his wife as soon as the words came out of her mouth, with a loud “shhh!” that sent the audience into laughter.

The Bidens made a surprise appearance on Winfrey’s show, recorded at the Kennedy Center for broadcast on the eve of the inauguration. The celebrity-filled show also included the premiere of “America’s Song,” performed by Faith Hill, Seal, Bono, Mary J. Blige, Will.i.am and David Foster in honor of the occasion and available for free download on Winfrey’s Web site.
 
The vice president-elect said he only accepted Obama’s offer to be his running mate after talking it over with “Jilly,” his pet name for his wife. Mrs. Biden said she told him vice president would be better for the family.

“If you’re secretary of state, you’ll be away. We’ll never see you, you know,” she said. “I’ll see you at a state dinner once in a while. But I said, if you are vice president, the entire family, because they worked so hard for the election, they can be involved. They can come to our home. They can go to events. They can be with us all the time. And that’s what’s important to us.”

WTF

Let's show how unprofessional and how glib we are about this job.

Yeah she is - she should be good when things start getting really tough.

The Bidens seem to have really lose lips, especially Joe.

The first time an American dies because he let slip some classified or covert source to prove how in the know he is, I will be demanding his resignation and conviction for violation of FISA... I won't get it, cuz the MSM will cover for him, but I'll demand it
