Hillary Got Sloppy Seconds

Joe Biden's wife Jill gave away a little family secret:

During the taping of the Oprah Winfrey show today, Dr. Jill Biden said that her husband, the vice president-elect, was given a choice of being either vice president or secretary of State.

This revelation came after Vice President-elect Joe Biden told Oprah that after then-Sen. Obama offered the job of VP he asked for some time to think about it and talk it over with his family.

Mrs. Biden interjected: "Joe had the choice of being secretary of State or vice president." She then seemed to realize she'd said something she wasn't supposed to have said.

That means he took was given the first choice at the plum job, VP where little is required or expected, while Hillary got the real job and the headaches that go with it. That should keep things lively between the VP and the Secretary of State.
