I don't think Biden really got to choose; I can't imagine Obama putting him out there as secretary of state.
Speaking of buffoon. . . . Did you see his bad joke at Roberts' expense, at the repeat of the swearing-in? In the video Obama's reaction was stony and disapproving. Marc Ambinder and Colby King both wrote about it and said Biden needs to get over his need to be the life of the party and realize he's vice president now, not hanging out with the guys in the Senate cloakroom. Ambinder thinks goofy Biden will clash with the serious, sober, and disciplined Obama. I'm sure Obama knew that all along, and knew the lower-profile VP post would be better for him. I think Biden just likes to BS, as someone else posted. Did he really say he's the most experienced VP, more than anybody? I love it. As Dave Barry said, he has been a tireless champion of change ever since he was elected to the Senate in 1847.
