If this story is true - you gotta love this woman -

altho, personally I don't think I would be comfortable laying around the pool in my bikini while Dem leaders were over (even if I looked like Jill)

“She tells a funny story about a day when a bunch of Democratic Party bigwigs had planted themselves in her living room to try to convince Joe Biden that 2004 was his year to unseat George Bush. Jill was sitting out by the pool in a bikini—fuming. Unable to stand it any longer, she got up, found a Magic Marker, and wrote the word no across her stomach and then paraded through the meeting. “They got the message,” she says with a laugh.”


You gotta admit - this woman has guts.

I also read somewhere that after her comments on Oprah, she was heard to say - Yeah, I said it. So what?

Haha - I am becoming a huge Jill Biden fan.

1. you know, I think people wouldn't have noticed what she said on Oprah so much

if Joe hadn't flinched. It would have just sounded like an over-excited, over-proud wife.

2. Dunno why he would flinch;

he had told the story some months earlier to Ryan Lizza, published in (?) Newsweek.

3. What did she say to Oprah?

I missed this.

8. That Joe was offerred his choice of

VP or SoS.

The msm was trying to make a big deal of it, that it was a slam to Hillary - that she got sloppy seconds. But this happened on the 19th, and with the events of the 20th, it was quickly forgotten.

4. That's a great story!

You know those dems were thinking, "Damn that Biden! What a lucky man!"

What a fantastic woman!

5. Jill makes me laugh. She definitely has guts.

Michelle and Jill do not seem like women that can be walked all over and I like that.

9. I love it!

6. What a great story

She's a really gutsy gal. Good for her. I'd love to know who the Democratic bigwigs were who were trying to get Joe to run.

[jillan]

7. I imagine there was lots of drool involved - haha.

And Joe - you gotta wonder what he was thinking with his sexy wife running around in a bikini infront of those guys.

11. Ah, to be a fly on the wall!
