Joe the Plumber says, "...more people know about me than Obama..."
Article published Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Joe the Plumber slams media, says he’ll share wealth with "fellow Americans"

( ASSOCIATED PRESS )

By SAEED MINHAS
SPECIAL TO THE BLADE

Joe the Plumber has decided to go cyber to spread not only his views as a political watch-dog but also to raise money for his fellow countrymen after taking his minor cut.

He said Tuesday afternoon he plans to create two Web sites with the motto of keeping a check on the federal and state governments and to distribute Americans’ hard earned wealth amongst other Americans.

In an exclusive chat with this scribe on the election day, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, or "Joe the Plumber," while standing in the driveway of his Springfield Township house, refuted the claim that he turned the presidential race on its head by asking Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama a simple question about his tax plans last month.

"I don’t know about turning the debate around, all I know is that a simple question has turned my life upside down and more people know about me than Obama," said the ordinary looking average American, wearing sports pajamas and T-shirt.

Much more nonsense from Joe here:

11. Dumber than a stump.
If he had a room temperature IQ, he would realize just how difficult it is to hold both these thoughts in the same head:

1) "Capitalism needs some moral compass as nobody should be allowed to build fortunes or get away with $30 million without paying any taxes"

and

2) "But I won’t let the government decide that for me what to do about that kind of money. I will decide it for myself."

Well, what is it, Joe? If you let people decide for themselves, then you get #1! What an absolute moron.
