Joe The Plumber To Talk Strategy With Luckless Conservatives

Gah, this guy again. Samuel J. "Joe the 'Plumber'" Wurzelbacher, freshly returned from bankrupting Pajamas Media with his "I Don't Know, Maybe Journalists Should Shut Up, Or Something" tour of Israel, is now going to be meeting with the Conservative Working Group, making working for the Conservative Working Group the worst possible job anyone could have this week.

Hilariously, the people who serve on the Conservative Working Group don't seem to want to do much Conservative Working, since Joe's appearance is billed as an incentive to keep everyone from sleeping in:

If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.

"In case you weren't planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!" Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.

Anyway, we are told that Joe is not a "fan of the economic rescue package," so, woo: there's some real high-wire opinioneering, right there. He'll probably say that the media shouldn't talk about the economy any more, or math, and that maybe Paul Krugman should do more to help people with their digital TV conversions.

Anyway, how dull is this guy? Consider this. The article that reports this news in Politico begins with the sentence, "Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans," and ends with the sentence, "Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com." Normally, you'd wonder where the editor was, allowing the double mention of "stint," but your eyes just glaze over, thinking about this guy.

This is great. Obama could not have done any better if he prayed to Jesus right in his face and offered alms while sitting at the holy dinner table (no disrespect intended). These idiots called the GOP will keep us in office for-ever!! Joe, Sarah, Rush, Hannity and their new TOKEN BOY Steele are perfect. This guarantees a second term for Obama. Go Sarah!

With "Joe" the "Plumber," Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin as its stars, the Republican Party has finally achieved its nadir -- a perfect fit for a United States so dumbed-down that the slobbering right-wing "Christian" masses revere these idiots as heroes and role models.

The Republican Party has become a band of cartoon characters,
They should chnge their tag name from the GOP to Hanna-Barbara & Company

[spicymiss]

This is a joke. The GOP has lost its ideology and gained idiocy!

See "Plumbing the depths - GOP style!"

Actually he's perfect for the role. Empty, fake credentials, bloated ego and eager to mislead. Guess you found your calling, Joe!

Is Joe the Tax Dodger gonna pay his taxes or is he still collecting unemployment?

GOP== can they sink any lower?

[Justtellthetruth]

Joe the Plumber. Sarah Six Pack. Rush Limbaugh.

I see the Dems holding on to power for a LONG time if these losers continue to remain at the media forefront of the party. GO JOE, SARAH, and RUSH!!!!

So this is the level to which the Republican party has descended?

Just absolutely amazing. Makes me happier as each day goes by since I left the "R" party in April 2008.

Swanie, Welcome to the fold where reason prevails.

[dadw5boys]

Will they cut him open and take out his brain to study it ?

Ok with me if they do. Include Palin in your experments also.

[Socalsd]

Let's hope this simpleton keeps representing the GOP it only diminishes there value in a modern America. What does he know about the economy it's not like this uneducated boob has ever made real money.

[dadw5boys]

Hoepfully the number of well educated will out number the semi intellengent mouth breathers by 2012.

[benskull]

Lets hope for a Plumber/Palin ticket in 2012...

[wolf58]

and next week he will be staring in a new movie called "fixing Sarahs pipes", not sure but not a film you would want to show your kids.
