Joe Biden Tells Larry King He And Hillary Clinton Won’t Switch Jobs

» 12 comments

Since the 2008 presidential campaign, rumors have swirled that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could take Vice President Joe Biden’s position, with Biden sliding into Clinton’s current role, despite denials from the White House. Tonight, Biden appeared on Larry King Live and attempted – again – to put that rumor to rest.

King brought up the rumor, and Biden seemed a bit exasperated just at the sound of it, saying “I tried” to squash the rumor. He said there was “never any serious talk” about the possibility, and that “even Bob [Woodward, who floated the possibility early] backed off a little bit on that.” He added that Clinton’s said to him in no uncertain terms she’s not interested in taking his job, and that President Barack Obama told Biden he fully expects him on the ticket come the 2012 election, and ultimately dismissed the idea as “a Washington parlor game.”

It was a game effort by Biden to quash speculation, but considering the rumor’s persistence (over two years running) to date, we’d bet we haven’t heard the last of it. Video of Biden’s denial below.

    Joe can’t get the job unless he was under sniper fire.

    Joe should step down and take over Fat, Angry Ed Schultz’s twin brother, Robert Gibb’s job of Presidential Press Secretary so we could all get our daily quota of laughs! I love laughing at Joe Biden. Then again I enjoy laughing at anyone in Obama’s Administration.

    I sure hope they don’t change…….Joe is the butt of the joke and he provides numerous gaffes that make me laugh……..the guy is funny…..and stupid!! Yes stupid; he provided the location of his secret bunker…….God what a sad sack.

    Although I do get goosebumps when I think about him being a heartbeat away from the office of president.

    “The summer recovery Tour…..NO, that wasn’t about jobs it was aboiut construction…….”…OK Joe OK……

    Joe said the “Summer Recovery Tour” was about jobs all the way to September, and when the jobs never appeared, he switched and rewrote history, a Demonrat specialty they learned from their class-warfare heroes Lenin and Stalin.

    @black widow “Not till 2016. She would never run against Obama.”

    Yeh, blacko, just like Fat Teddy K would never run against Jimmy Carter in 1980—-Obama is Carter Redux and a one-term worm for sure. Hillary would be doing the Dems a favor by taking on the narcissistic ninny in ‘12.

    Don’t fool yourself. All the clues are there if you look, including this one: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/11/18/carville_if_hillary_gave_obama_one_of_her_balls_hed_have_two.html

    It’s going to be getting real personal and real ugly within the Democrat Party soon.

    Did Joe Biden say anything about switching jobs with Larry King? They’ll both have plenty of time on their hands in a couple of years.

    If there is anything like the resumption of reason in the US, in January 2013, they will both be unemployed.

    Joe Scarborough Suspended By MSNBC For Two Days Over Campaign Donations

    Fans of Keith Olbermann who were upset that he was suspended by MSNBC President Phil Griffin over campaign donations often pointed to similar donations made by Joe Scarborough as an example of unfair treatment. Well it appears that the treatment is now fair according to a Politico report that asserts that Scarborough has been suspended for two days for similar contributions. Statements from both Griffin and Scarborough after the jump.
