Biden shushes wife after secretary of state slip
« on: January 19, 2009, 09:40:31 PM »

WASHINGTON – Joe Biden's wife said Monday that he had his pick of being Barack Obama's running mate or the secretary of state nomination that eventually went to Hillary Rodham Clinton, a slip that the vice president-elect immediately tried to shush.

Jill Biden's comment came during an appearance with her husband on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," taped at Washington's Kennedy Center on the eve of the inauguration.

"Joe had the choice to be secretary of state or vice president," she said. Her husband turned to his wife with his finger to his lips and a "Shhhh!" that sent the audience into laughter. "OK, he did," Jill Biden said in her defense.

Stupid is contagious.  Maybe it's the result of living with Joe Biden for 30 years.

Poor Hillary. Always in second place. Second to Bill. Second to Monica. Second to Obama. Now, second even to Joe Biden

It's gonna be interesting to watch when the REAL pressure is on these people. If they screw up this badly when they are in their element, with lots of cheering supporters all around, what are they going to be like when that 3:00 A.M. phone call comes in? Man, they are just a bunch of babes in the woods. Amateur hour in the White House.

One news show said that when they cut to commercial, Oprah looked at the audience and said "oh my God"

I don't believe for ONE SECOND that it was a surprise visit.  I also don't believe for ONE SECOND that Jill didn't intend to say something either.  It was all too much part of the conversation.  I don't know if exactly what she said was known but there was definitely more ideas about discussion topics.

Nothing is a surprise when the logistics of the secret service has to be included.

It might of been a surprise to the audience, but not to Oprah.

Oprah lies.  :fuelfire:

Hasn't anyone else put 2 and 2 together yet?  When did Der Fuhrer make this offer to Biden? Was it to get his endorsement for president?  Shades of Blago.
