I Like ItI Don’t Like It

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."

To the phoney plumber:
The American people do not deserve you. Please go home and pay your taxes; leave us alone!

I couldn't agree with him more. No where has the American people done something so heinous as to make this guy's presence in our political system justifiable.

His 15 minutes were used up hours ago. Go back to your handy man gig.

Arianna, stop covering him please. You are just giving him more credibility.

Maybe he should just go back to school and get his plumbing license and all his worries will be over. Plumbers aren't as effected by the downturn in the economy. Think about it.

After reading the words of Joe, I thought that I was in tears until I realized that I was vomiting from my eyes.

For Joe's information, there are actually three sides to every story. His side, her side and the truth. Media coverage in America can turn a tick into a tiger. This man and Sarah Palin are suffering the same fate. Once you listen to either one of them for more than 30 seconds, their true lack of talent becomes self evident. Palin / Wersullbergererblablabla... 2012!

This is how it is with the Republicans. They think that everything is in black and white. There is a whole palette of colors and shades of gray to every issue. I have, however, enjoyed watching the republican party implode - they have no idea who or what they are anymore but that won't stop them from digging themselves into an ever deepening hole. Long live the new voice of the republican party, JW!

Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber in 2012, that's a ticket that would warm the heart!

When are they going to make a Joe the Plumber tool set? Of course it would be an incomplete tool set but nonetheless...

There's no need to hope Joe runs for office. The Pugs can and have lost even with their best and brightest.

Pug Leaders, in order: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mitch McConnell, Laura Ingram, John Boehner, Michael Savage, Sarah Palin
