- thestylepage, on 01/19/2009, -4/+73The gaffe-a-tastic VP shushing his own wife - laughable.
- Shaggy3, on 01/20/2009, -7/+71This is what happens when they leave the kitchens.
- AndyStitzer, on 01/20/2009, -1/+54Time to break out the pimp hand
- EMFK, on 01/19/2009, -3/+55Oops! :-)
- cryonix, on 01/20/2009, -8/+52I'm not sure if its just me, but why is this such a big deal?
Damn I need to watch the daily show or something and have someone talk down to me like I'm a 5th grader because I just don't get it. - inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+42No.
It's not that it's against the law. It's the fact that it would prove that Hillary was not only dismissed for the vice-presidency, but she was also considered as a secondary choice for Secretary of State.
Jill let out a secret that Hillary was never supposed to know. - NaziHatinChimp, on 01/20/2009, -5/+34Who cares.
- TheJimid, on 01/19/2009, -5/+30Well at least they are off to an honest start.
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -0/+19Oh boy! You've opened a can of digg whoopass on yourself now!
Dugg. - cryonix, on 01/20/2009, -8/+23Palin?
- PityDaFool, on 01/19/2009, -6/+21But, but, they said no one was more qualified than Hillary...
- rupaw, on 01/20/2009, -2/+17You are kidding, right? Show me the law that prevents anyone discussing anything if he gets a job. I can tell you something right now: You Dewhead, will never be in my government once I got elected.... Is it illegal to say this? ;^)
- smallnshort247, on 01/19/2009, -1/+15Jill, oh Jill ;)
- martalli, on 01/20/2009, -6/+20Obama offered me the Secretary of State position, but I just wanted one thing in return - to get to the front page of digg. Obama said there was no way he could help me on that one...
- joe122370, on 01/20/2009, -0/+11buried for admitting you watched Oprah

- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -15/+26I'm confused, which scandal is this?
Is this the Abramoff bribery scandal or Tom DeLay's money laundering scandal?
It could be the Cunningham bribery scandal...
Or is it the illegal wiretapping scandal?
The GOP pedophilia coverup?
The 9 billion missing in Iraq scandal?
Or is it the Vermont vote tampering scandal?
The Kentucky hiring scandal?
Or the Ohio embezzeling state funds scandal?
No, wait, Ohio is another vote tampering scandal... or is that Florida?
If this is about the CIA, it could be the intel fixing scandal.
Although it could be the attempted murder of a CIA agent to get back at her husband scandal.
How about the four years worth of e-mails missing from Rove scandal?
Maybe the Rick Renzi Land grab scandal.
No, wait, I got it, our President's weekly spiritual advisor getting caught svcking off a male prostitute while high on Meth scandal?
But it could be an entirely new scandal...
Can I get some help here? - acknotSW, on 01/20/2009, -6/+17Not in nearly as much trouble as we would be if Palin became president. I'm fairly sure the world would still be here after bidens stay, I doubt we would be around much longer after god started whispering in palins ear about how great it would be to press the "bring jesus back" button. Pentecostals are the Christians that evangelicals laugh at for being too fundamental.
- Refaelo, on 01/20/2009, -2/+13***** happens, people's tongue slip...the world and all of us will move on and wait for the next slip by someone else.
- SuperMoses, on 01/20/2009, -0/+10Biden as Secretary of State? WTF... What is Obama thinking, he was one of the most hawkish Democrats pushing for the Iraq war. Not that Clinton is much better, but Biden? wtf
- TheSexyGeek, on 01/20/2009, -5/+14What's the big deal?
- gr8spAcstr, on 01/20/2009, -1/+10She put her husband on the 'Clinton's List' which hasn't worked out too well for some, that is if you buy into internet conspiracy theories.
- slicecom, on 01/20/2009, -1/+9Are you retarded? Of course they can discuss appointments before they're elected! How many times did the media ask Obama and Hillary if they would be each others VP's? Are you telling me the media was trying to get the candidates to commit a federal offense on national TV time and time again?
- SunathAlgeraan, on 01/20/2009, -7/+13Bidengate.
- inactive, on 01/20/2009, -1/+7VP > Sec State, so what's the big deal? I'm sure Hillary got over not getting the nod for VP a long time ago.
- Rixar13, on 01/20/2009, -1/+6I watched that on the Oprah show with my wife, Wow I knew controversy would follow.
- sodade, on 01/20/2009, -6/+10Your list doesn't sound 1/2 as bad as the one before.
- Dundasbro, on 01/20/2009, -2/+6The *****?
