Vice President Joe Biden will not be throwing his annual beach party for journalists this summer, POLITICO has learned.

Since 2010, Vice President Biden and Dr. Jill Biden have invited top journalists to their home at the Naval Observatory for a beach bash that has included Super Soaker fights, face painting, and a moon bounce.

Past guests have included then-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Candy Crowley, MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow, CBS's Bob Schieffer, ABC's Ann Compton, PBS's Gwen Ifill and New York Times reporter David Sanger, among many others.

The Vice President's office declined to comment on the record regarding the decision to forego a party this summer.

Even Biden is hiding....instead of shooting off his mouth.

Who wants to have a Super Soaker fight against a guy with a shotgun!?

He has probably been muzzled so he doesn’t accidentally leak something about the WH knowing about any of these scandals prior to the time we found out about them from the news reports.

The world thanks the Bidens for eliminating the Candy Crowley moon bounce.

Oh he’s just teaching them to adjust to having things taken away from them more to ensue under his boss.

Slow Joe is paying them back for not being sufficiently biased in reporting on all the “O” scandals.

He wants to send them a message that only their TOTAL and UNCONDITIONAL pro “O” bias will be acceptable.

Sounds like the activities for a five year old’s birthday party.

Annual Beach Party?

It’s something they did twice.

Hardly a tradition...

Might the alleged "party" have been an "off the record" event? If so, this merely prevents additional loss of face.
