SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Vice President Joe Biden plans to attend the Little League World Series on Sunday, when he is enshrined into Little League's Hall of Excellence.
The White House gave Little League the heads-up Friday night.
Little League announced before the series started that they were honoring Biden.
The vice president grew up in Scranton, where he played in the Green Ridge Little League, about 100 miles east of Little League's South Williamsport headquarters.
New York Rangers center Chris Drury will also be enshrined into the Little League hall. Drury was the winning pitcher in the title game for the Trumbull, Conn., team that took the title 20 years ago

I saw a C-17 land at IPT as I was leaving my house. I stopped at the airport to see them unloading limos and other equipment and figured either President Obama or VP Biden were coming tomorrow for the Little League World Series Final.
Now I have the answer.

I am watching this now on ABC. Just like a politician to steal the spotlight.

The Little League World Series is not a place for politics and any politician who goes to the event is pandering scum.

I guess Rahm et al figures that’s a fairly safe thing for Smilin’ Joe to handle.

Which team will "Plugs" be playing for?
Taiwan? Mexico?
And if he does, will he lose his eligibility for the Presidency?
The Secret Service should pay especial attention, because Biden may not be able to get through the day without Ted Kennedy's support and encouragement.

Maybe he can stop by his hometown of Scranton while he’s in the neighborhood. You know, the place he said he wouldn’t forget when he was campaigning there last year and hasn’t been back since. I’m sure the pilot would know how to get there.

Disgraceful! Shame on Biden.
I've been following the series all along, pulling for Chula Vista.

I fully expect Joe to say something truthful but politically embarrassing about Ted Kennedy!

For the most part, the Secret Service agents are really good, and very professional (I would not characterize them as "nice.")
We even played crazy 8's on the hood of Clinton's limo.
But, you see the politicalization of the SS under each regime. Under Bush 41, the agents were just great. Once Clinton got in, you saw a lot of black agents with a lot of attitude. In fact, his top SS agent was a tyrant who had a chip on is shoulder.
Then, under Bush 43, everyone relaxed a bit.
