He brags often and loudly about being a son of Pennsylvania. But Joe Biden’s Scranton yarns didn’t protect him from a typical Philly welcome.
A Washington Post sports writer notes that Phillies fans booed Biden during Sunday’s baseball game.
And a reader e-mailed me last night:
My son (26, a good Republican) was at the Philadelphia Phillies play off game last night, 10/16/2010, in Philadelphia. He told me the following:
Joe Biden was there and when his image appeared on the screen, a smattering of clapping started but it was then replaced with booing that proceeded to get louder and louder. Everyone around him was booing as loud as they could. Then after it stopped, conversations all around him started about Obama, Pelosi and healthcare, etc. He reminded me that the members of the audience were not just from Philadelphia City but from surrounding counties in PA and NJ. His entourage then cleared a path through traffic making it far worse and delaying all which then cemented in the minds of the fans the elitism of government officials. Gotta hope it is a sign of the election to come. Obama did this in NJ right before the Christie election in the Camden area the night of a game in Philly, making everyone late for the game and annoying all ticket holders from New Jersey.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What would you expect. Everyone there had enough money to attend an NLCS game. These folks KNOW what “economics” means.
How many people did he run over? ;-)
But he rides the train. Every day.

Biden is an idiot.
Is that why no one wants to acknowledge that Obama is ineligible?
LOL!
Is there any video with sound???? I would love to hear this so I can relish the sound.
He drew a huge crowd of 80 in Milwaukee.

Isn’t it amazing how the left wanted so bad for it to have been Sarah Palin being booed on Dancing With The Stars, which of course did not happen, yet when Biden really was booed, you hear virtually nothing about it?
80...minus 20 for his staff and the welcoming staffers he is left with maybe 50 or so that showed up. Love it.
Victorino had some amazing catches last night, including a somersault over his shoulder. He’s amazing.
Victorino also gave us the offensive spark we needed in the 5th to re-gain the lead.
I was at the game.
Biden’s crowd of 80 in Milwaukee included 20 paid event workers and another dozen or so club members who were herded upstairs to fill chairs and eat a free meal.
It was a fund raiser, hence the discriminating crowd. The plates/seats cost something, I’m (not) surprised that the figure wasn’t mentioned.
I’m referring to the JS article, of course.
Help spread this “news” around by buzzing it up at Yahoo buzz:
I did a bing search looking for my old postings at Michelle Malkin and found this post of yours.

That was me, I was Virginia Patriot for many years at Townhall and Michelle Malkin.
They were replaying the tape of Debbie Wasserman Schultz being Booed & Heckled in Iowa There is beauty in Schadenfreude
