With the
World Cup just a few weeks away, the
USA soccer team got a private pep talk from
Vice President Joe Biden inside the White House this morning.

In case you're unfamiliar with the World Cup -- it's a
big f*ckin' deal.
Vice President Joe Biden was spotted visiting his son
Beau at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philly yesterday -- after the Delaware Attorney General suffered a mild stroke.

Joe gave cameras outside a thumbs up on his way out -- and, according to ABC News, Beau is "fully alert," talking to family and expected to make a full recovery.
If this whole "
Glee" thing doesn't work out, the show's Canadian star
Corey Monteith could get deported back to his homeland for being a jobless non-citizen -- but according to him, Vice Prez
Joe Biden could save his ass.

Last night in NYC, Corey said he met the VP at a baseball game a couple of days ago ... and if anyone happened to snap a photo of them together, he thinks the pic could save him from being shipped home.
Our suggestion: Just
keep pretending he's American born
Chris Klein.
Second Lady of the United States
Jill Biden battled the cool NYC morning on Monday, by showing off her tan gams.
Michelle Obama's ripped arms have met their match.
More Biden
Mike Huckabee was cornered at LaGuardia Airport yesterday ... forced, we thought, to take a stand on
Joe Biden's
body of work.

Hey Mike, what's under your shirt???
In these hard economic times,
Vice President Joe Biden will give you the shirt off his back.

JoJo soaked his shirtless 66-year-old bones at a beach on the Jersey Shore on Saturday.
Hopefully the Secret Service wasn't the only protection he used.
They're both old white dudes running for office, so it's easy to see how Joe Biden could be confused for John McCain -- but not at Joe's own rally!!!
McCain isn't the only one up for office who may be too old to be running -- Joe Biden, 65, acted like he couldn't hear our questions when we asked him flat out, face-to-face about snubbing Lindsay Lohan.
