Joe The Plumber: 'I Don't Know If The American Public Deserves Me'

Joe The Plumber

Joe The Plumber yesterday, transitioning from war reporter to political strategist, appeared before congressional aides to offer his two cents on the stimulus plan. Joe is taking a stand against the entire package, claiming that it is just another example of "American government" having its way with the people.

The New York Daily News has subsequently explored the possibility of Joe pursuing public office at any point in the near future. But according to Joe, "I don't know if the American public deserve me, but my son definitely deserves my time now." However, he isn't done giving advice to the GOP:

"It's not politically incorrect to say you're Republican or conservative," Joe said. "They need to dig their heels in and fight for what needs to be done."


And no reason to be subtle, he said, as long as folks inform themselves. "I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white," Wurzelbacher explained. "There's right and wrong."

I meant fake plumbers. Of course, our soldiers should have *working* sinks, showers, and toilets. Oh, speaking of showers, they should also have licensed electricians and building code enforcement by the Army Corps of Engineers, and absolutely no private contractors, "anywhere allowed war."

WOW Joe, Sara and Rush the face and brains of the GOP. Why would anyone with an ounce of intelligence put this idiot out front and center and state he is their strategist?

Joe, the unlicenced fake plumber. If you care a bit for this country you'll wake up very soon from your delusions of grandeur and disappear into oblivion. You have made a complete fool of yourself. 'Enough' Please go away and never return to work against your own self interest and in deed the interest of those who by any chance bear a resemblance to you. You are a total caricature invented by the likes of the defeated Mc Cain and liar Palin. Go and pay your taxes, get a plumbing licence, get a job, pay your mortgage/rent and stay in the hell you have created for yourself. We the people want no part of your ignoramus! We deserve better!

Perhaps Joe is right. McCain might actually have won a narrow victory if it hadn't been for the lunatic fringe of Sarah Palin and Joe the plumber ruining his last chances.

No Joe - we don't deserve you - We deserve SOOOO much MORE than YOU!

He needs professional help to overcome his staggering delusions of relevance.

Joe and Sarah, just what we need. More tax breaks for people that don't need them so they can invest in things they don't understand and loose all their money. How's that working out these days?
