Jill Tracy Jacobs Biden is better known as Jill Biden.
Dr. Jill Biden.
Well, she's actually better known as the wife of Vice-President Elect Joe Biden. But, Dr. Jill Biden is also known as a veteran educator. She's been a professor at Delaware Technical Community College, with a Ph.D in Education. No slouch. And, no entitled woman either, since it's been reported that she turned down four offers from prestigious four-year institutions to devote her teaching energy to a community college in Washington, D.C.
She seems a bit like the forgotten spare tire on the back of the Barack-Michelle-Joe tricycle of media personalities in the news this week. But, one day ahead of her important moment on camera tomorrow -- to hold the Bible for Joe's oath of office -- she has taken top billing now on internet news sites and blogs everywhere.
Fashion pundits and groupies around the globe have been holding their collective breath about what Michelle Obama will wear to the Inauguration tomorrow. And, more importantly, what she will wear to the Balls tomorrow night. Apparently Barbara Walters stamped the matter with the idea that our very future as a nation depends upon her choice when she said today, "...I think you can tell what the administration is going to be like by what the First Lady wears."
No pressure!
The double-secret decision about designer, style and color is being held under cloak of privacy until tomorrow.
No pressure! It had better be a good one!
But, I haven't been hearing anyone clamoring about what Dr. Jill is going to do next, what Dr. Jill is going to wear next, or what Dr. Jill is going to say next.
That might change after today. She let the "cat" outta the bag on the "Oprah" taping and told the universe that Joe had his choice between Vice President and Secretary of State in the Obama Administration. For that, she got a very loud "Shhh" from Joe.
I don't know if it was a put-up job -- sometimes people feign shock about something that was carefully planned and scripted in advance. But, what happened after she uttered this revelation took me right to the Comcast commercials for high-speed internet. If they run in your market, then you know Bill & Karolyn Slowsky, the spokesturtles who prefer the much slower DSL. In their most recent appearance, they're discussing the matter in a movie theatre.
I thought about what Dr. Jill could have replied to Joe with that infamous line by Bill -- "did you just SHUSH me??!!" But, thinking about Joe Biden for just one more nanosecond, I realized that Dr. Jill's best response would have been Bill's second line.
"WE GOT A REAL TALKER OVER HERE!!!"
Yep, we got a real talker over there.
If you haven't seen the spot, here it is through the magic of Youtube:
