Vice President Joe Biden's cordial annual media picnic turned into an all-out war between the vice president and children of journalists in attendance.

The vice president distributed high-powered water guns to the children gathered at his official residence and identified notable journalists for them to pursue.

Among the targets were CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Politico's Mike Allen.

Biden's team of warrior children then turned their weapons on the Vice President himself. Before it was over, Biden was super-soaked and smiling.

[HarveyDarkey]

13. With underage girls

[Faygo Kid]

14. DUzy. So obvious, I need not say it. But I did.

Well done.

[Volaris]

18. ...For little kids. Next up is the VP "weird" that way?

THAT would be the more likely Faux News headline.

(on edit) Damn. Looks like I type too slow today, you all beat me to it lol.

[bulloney]

60. Cheney would have used a hunting gun and blasted the kids in the face.

And the kids' parents would have apologized to Cheney.

[geek tragedy]

7. Secret Service? Nt

[tclambert]

23. They were busy shopping for hookers.

Oh, Lord, I am heartily sorry for that one. Please forgive me. (But Lord? Didja laugh?)

[ProfessionalLeftist]

10. Gotta love Grandpa Joe.

[leeroysphitz]

11. Good ol' grampa Joe.

[BillyJack]

12. What a genuine guy! What a nice reminder that we all need to have/create some FUN in our lives!

I am the FIRST person who needs to take my own recommendation!

[nxylas]

53. I'm sure the far right will be outraged

Fun? Doesn't he know that politics is a serious business? Except when one of their guys makes an offensive joke about women or minorities, in which case we all need to lighten up.

[The Wielding Truth]

61. They have such a hard time seeing normal people having good clean fun.

I Love Joe.

[freshwest]

15. Kids love that, soaking others and getting soaked both. Biden's a good sport.

[AnnieBW]

16. Did they get any FOX News "Journalists"?

If I were Joe, I've have given a kid a super-soaker filled with dog piss and pointed him at Orally or Hannity.

[Faygo Kid]

17. Good thing they didn't do that to Vice President Cheney . . .

[rocktivity]

24. DUzy candidate!

[MADem]

57. He'd be firing back at 'em...with buckshot! nt

[onehandle]

19. What a total stick in the mud. I wouldn't want to have a beer with that guy.

Wow a Vice President of the United States playing water games - and get soaked... That is a new one

I wonder if former Vice-President Cheney ever would have been doing anything like this.. I guess his old ticker would have given up for a long time before that could happend...

How difference it is between the administration of GWB and Obama... The one is dark and glam - the other is light and happy compared...

25. Of course Cheney would have done this.

He liked to play with water except, he called it waterboarding.

[Diclotican]

30. Marie Marie

Marie Marie

True, true... But I guess the children would scream in fear instead of fun... After all, Water boarding was accepted as TORTURE when the russians used it, as "exchanged interrogations" in the 1970s - and in the first part of the 1980s.. Even KGB got away from the practice when Gorbi got into Office in 1984-85... But when Cheney and Co did it, it was not a torture - go figure why not when everyone else on the planet had accepted it as torture for more than 50 year.. After all, many japanese soldiers was executed after the war - because of use of Waterboarding... But I have not heard about any american soldiers been executed because of the practice of water boarding - or at least not yet...

[Arugula Latte]

67. Or else he'd use birdshot.

But it would be the kids' fault for stepping into the line of fire.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. You can't get water on Cheney. He melts,

just like the Wicked Witch of the West.

[Diclotican]

33. The Velveteen Ocelot

The Velveteen Ocelot

Thats too... I for one have always thinking about Dick R. Cheney as Darth Vader of the Star Wars universe.. Even though he doesn't had any Emperor who could counter his own ambitions - Bush jr was at mere puppet in the hands of Cheney..
A emperor without the cloths to put it brutal honesty..

[Occulus]

39. I thought salt clumped n/t

[HughBeaumont]

62. Cheney would have sent those kids to Guantanamo.

Enemy combatants, and all . . .

[tclambert]

21. Where're the photos of the Secret Service agents wrestling all those young terrorists to the ground?

[malaise]

22. Very cool

[turtlerescue1]

26. Ahhh can't help but smile.

[lunatica]

28. Nothing beats letting your inner kid come out to play

[rox63]

29. Joe Biden is so real

Love him!

[TheDebbieDee]

31. That "Dick", Cheney would have given the children real guns.......

Cheney was all about making more dead people..........

VP Biden looks like he's having more fun than the kids!

[CTyankee]

32. I'll bet Jill got a big kick out of it!

[mfcorey1]

34. Shame! Teaching children to use guns is not Patriotic. Call the teaparty, Issa, Cantor, Boner

McConnell and Mitt Romney for their new talking points.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

35. KICK!

More than a politician, that's for sure. All around great guy.

[Mojambo]

36. Obviously I don't know him

But I get the sense that Joe Biden might be the most likable guy in Washington DC.

Great pictures.

[annabanana]

My dad was a kid-charmer, too.

[madokie]

42. What a contrast between O and Biden and w and the dick

[gateley]

47. Bwah!!

[Rhiannon12866]

[jillan]

49. Too bad no one from Faux was there - how fun would that be?!

[cal04]

50. Faux wannabe journalist to Biden

Ohhh! You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little boy like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness! Ohhh! Look out! Look out! I'm going! Ohhhh – Ohhhhhhhhhh!

[RFKHumphreyObama]

66. No but Politico was there and that's a right wing outlet

So it was a good substitute

[Arugula Latte]

68. He should shoot Steve Doocy in the crotch and nowhere else to make it look like he wet himself.

[babylonsister]

51. LOVE this! Joe Biden rocks!!! nt

[dmr]

52. What fun! He's great with kids. And, he's got nice legs, too!

[SwissTony]

54. When my grandkids get bigger, I'm going to buy them all a supersoaker each.

And the biggest one will be for me111

[mikelgb]

[cynatnite]

56. Next on Fox & Friends...VP Biden stalking children with gun. n/t

[warrior1]

58. he's just a regular guy

Kids love him.

[tru]

59. I'll be a toad

and ask if it's appropriate to invite the journalists who cover you to a social event.

Nonetheless, Joe is great. Wish he were the Pres, we'd have accomplished a lot more.

[Odin2005]

63. OMG, I'm laughing my ass off!

[Harry Monroe]

64. Love it!! I can also see Obama doing something like this!!

Romney would have probably had the Secret Service round up the little aqua terrorist bastards!!

[magnifisense]

65. that's wonderful

Look at the joy on those kids' faces.
