236.com: Tito The Builder...We're Gonna Miss You, Buddy

236.com:

As the year comes to a close, 23/6 takes a moment to say goodbye to all the bit players and historical footnotes who helped make 2008's news extra special. We'll probably never see them again, so before they go we'd like to say... "We're gonna miss you buddy."

Okay, so Joe the Plumber didn't quite work out for McCain-Palin. It ended up that he wasn't really a plumber, that he doesn't pay his taxes, but if he did he would be much better off under an Obama tax plan than McCain's. Live and learn, right?

So Tito is from Colombia. Funny, I am too and let me just say that he does not represent the majority of us. I was just talking to another Colombian who was telling me that he couldn't wait for Bush to get out of office. Great, he actually voted for Bush and at the time I asked him why and he said that he just didn't like Kerry. Anyway, also Tito by his accent seems like he arrived not too long ago. Not that there is a problem with that but I believe that this was McCain's attempt to get the Hispanic vote. Guess what, Presiden Barack Husseim Obama...si se pudo.

So he was hiding a facial tick with those sunglasses?

Ok, I guess I will give him a pass, when he was on Fox wearing the sunglasses I thought he was embaressed of his identity but couldnt say no to Palin.

And it's funny, this guy got famous for almost hitting someone on youtube at a Palin Rally, and they picked him for tv.

Now that this election year is over, can we just stop with the "Somebody's-Name the Some-Occupation" stuff? ENOUGH!

I know, Tito and Joe the Plumber could have their very own Right Wing , Hate America , Radio Talk Show! After all, that is the main focus of the Right wing, and they love the radio talk show format. If they were for America, they might at least wait until Obama actually became president to see what he does before they started spewing hate and false rumors trying to break the country apart even more. But, as we know, Republicans have one thing in mind, to spread hate, fear, and bash anything and anyone that doesnt do exactaly what they want. I can see it now, The Tito and Joe, Hate America to Love America show, coming soon an Clear Channel Radio everywhere!

Did Joe ever writh that best selling book?

[beautifuldisaster]

The same guy who writes Hannity's trashy books is writing Jo-Jo's

Tito is pulling an unemployment check up in the Bronx and hanging out at a Bodega on Jerome Ave. and Fordham Road.

I heard that he's up in Alaska doing some remodeling for Ted Stevens...

[loki]

I would not want to be Tito. He is going to get to hear about this for the rest of his life. Then again, maybe he is one of those people who will take any attention he can get, and lap it up. But I sure wouldnt want it. not like that

[BuzzingAlong]

I doubt the Tito is smart enough to be embarrassed for himself.

[landoffools]

AHHH !

Now its Tito-The-Loser !

[raphaeljo]

I don't know about you guys but I would LOVE to see Sarah Palin and her "Joes" to be back in 2012...
it will bring some entertainment to the elections, at the risk of having her elected (but in that case,it would say a lot about the American people,not her)

The Republican idea of over-simplifying the average citizens by propping up these two-dimensional characters to represent different workers in our communities and use cutesy catch phrases like Joe The Plumber and Tito The Builder was actually an insult to our intelligence. It would have been just as effective to use already established 2two dimensional chracters like Bob The Builder.

Is the Tito even living and working legally in the U.S.?

[jdfast]

Gee, Tito must be a supervisor. His hard hat is clean and covered with political stickers. His Carhart jacket is clean and it must be brand new. Most of the construciton workers I know don't wear Carhart gear cause they can't afford it and their hard hats are beat up and have other types of stickers on them. Think Tito was a plant?

[BOBONDE]

IS THAT A MC POW SIGN IN THE BACKGROUND? ANOTHER DUMB WORKER VOTING AGAINST HIS BEST INTERESTS, HEY PAL, HOW MUCH HAS TRICKLED DOWN TO YOU? ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN 8 YEARS AGO?

[jdfast]

Don't worry the guy hasn't built anyting in his life. Most likely he is a supervisor and wants to fancy himself as a construction worker. The Republicans don't know any real construciton workers. They wouldn't lower themselves to that level.

[gastoys]

The election is over, can we all just move on and focus on uniting the country and fix the mess we are in. Why all the liberal hate?

[Woodmist]

Oh, it's not liberal hate. My republican parents knew a phonies when they saw them. And THAT...Joe and Tito nonsense is what caused them to reassess and vote for Obama. Of course, Palin didn't help McCain either. See, they wanted someone that would actually work to help America, not continue with the nonsense. So, there you have it.

[Bitsko]

I see calling liberals "haters" is the lie of the day. Hop on board the Jubilee Train before it leaves the station.
