The wife of Vice President-elect Joe Biden let it slip to Oprah Winfrey Monday 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.

Obama is probably happier with Biden as VP. According to the current order of succession for POTUS, multiple, simultaneous untimely demises are needed to get Hill to the Presidency, instead of one...   

    *  Vice President
    * Speaker of the House
    * President Pro Tempore of the Senate
    * Secretary of State
    * Secretary of the Treasury
    * Secretary of Defense
    * Attorney General
    * Secretary of the Interior
    * Secretary of Agriculture
    * Secretary of Commerce
    * Secretary of Labor
    * Secretary of Health and Human Services
    * Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
    * Secretary of Transportation
    * Secretary of Energy
    * Secretary of Education
    * Secretary of Veterans Affairs
    * Secretary of Homeland Security

Don't feel to secure.

If the rumors about Bill Clinton's past have any truth to them, he has some experience with timely untimely demises.

Can you say "Vince Foster" ?   Hilly's no slouch herself, but 18 would still be a lot of "Accidents" and "suicides" to arrange. 4 is a lot more doable.
