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.

Everyone out here should see what President Obama is up against with these lobbyists:

A little OCD, Suzie?

I guess it`s not enough to have one " numb-nut ", at the head of the republican party, ( Rush " druggie " Limbaugh ), now they`ve added another, Joe the " where am I ? " Plumber...... Move over Sarah , ....... err , ..... I mean roll over Sarah .

It's amazing that they pick a black man to run the Gop and then have Joe the Plumber (shouldn't he be fighting one of the Partridge kids for money) to "speak". My goodness - are these the "fresh ideas" that the Repugs are talking about. You know they will have no power it's just their window-dressing!

They need him there because some one peed in the shallow end of the gene pool.

[Gould123]

You got to be kidding? Joe an Rush fighting for the drivers seat or what?

[pupbayer]

Both parties have lost their minds. We need viable 3rd parties. Now.

I must say that the RNC gets more absurd by the day.

Joe the Plumber claimed his brief foray into politics with the McCain/Palin campaign left him feeling so dirty and disgusted, yet he just can't seem to resist crawling back to roll in the slop he supposedly finds so unpalatable. Whatever happened to buying that plumbing business and working a real job like the rest of us for a living, Mr. All-American Blue Collar Average Joe?

Having JTP advise the GOP would be like having Hannibal Lecter advise your kitchen staff.....probably not the best idea.....

[C IH8U2]

LMAO :-D
Good analogy!!!!!!

[bigmadd]

I am glad that old joe the plumber is the best they got , maybe he will help flush rush

[DG3]

Can't wait for Michael Chiklis to play this dude in the movie. He'll have to really dumb it down though.

This guy is like Chance the Gardener or Forrest Gump with no heart (oh, wait, that was 43). The "r"s have pinned their hopes on this guy and Ms. Clueless Pitbull. It's pathetic - the gop really are in trouble. Let's hope they keep going down this road to nowhere.

[hopefulnana]

When I read this article I thought "Joe" is either the second coming of Chance the Gardener or Walter Mitty.

Great photo. Bravo.

J0e "N0T" the plumber and Rush Limb urger:

"The Tale of Two High Sch00l Drop0uts"

"The turf war between DumbandDumber"

"The Upright Walking H0g and the Talking Tool"

Great entertainment. Can't think of anymore subtitles for those patheticmediawh0 res.

Oh my lord! This is just too funny. If I wasn't so overjoyed with happiness I would actually feel sorry for the chaotic state in which the republicans find themselves into. They deserve everything they get and more.
