....is that the sound of DUers running to grab their credit cards I hear? :)

The Best Source of Patriotism Since Fox News: Joe the Website

Posted by Jill Filipovic, Feministe at 5:07 AM on November 14, 2008.

That's right, Joe's got a website.



Joe the Plumber has a website. And for only $14.95, you can get a special “Freedom” membership.

He’s also coming out with a book on American values ... like lying, practicing without a license, and being racist.

1. A bad conman like Joe is going to tarnish the image of professional grifters like the Palins.

32. I think he'll find out very quickly that nobody will pay to hear what he has to say.
Then it's back to shoveling shit without a license and paying less taxes under Obama.

6. Okay, I'm now officially impressed with Joe.
The guy is going to clean up. I'm impressed. While I work to pay the bills, he'll probably end up with a yacht. Who am I to laugh at him? He's obviously figured out and manipulated the system to his advantage much better than I could have dreamed of.

How fools and their money ever got together in the first place. But there are always con artists out there coming up with the next scheme to separate the two.

34. If Joe can make bank off of this, then it's not him who's the idiot
However, I suspect that he's not designing/running the site, writing the books, composing the country songs, or doing any of the other things that are attributed to him. So, I suspect that in reality there are a bunch of smart (and probably apolitical) people selling Joe as a product - when his run is over they'll walk away with the cash, and he'll be a sbroke as when he started...

36. $14.95 includes "Free Shipping on all "Joe The Plumber" merchandise"!
Awesome.
As a member, your Chinese JTP trinkets will be shipped free.

And the Oxford English Dictionary is adding his picture:

hustler
noun informal
an enterprising and often dishonest person, esp. one trying to sell something.

He'll be lucky to get enough money to pay for putting the website up.

40. Again we see the great American custom of rewarding idiocy
Let's give him a book deal and a money-making website. How exactly is he different than the runaway bride?

Is that really the secret to the american dream now? Do something to get on the national news, get an interview out of it, then make a book deal? Christ.

47. Sometimes I think Andy Warhol was wrong and some people really do outlast their 15 minutes.
Either that or their 15 minutes last like 15 minutes in an NBA game. It seems Joe The Plumber refuses to die.

Really galvanize those morans and have them show the true face of conservatism. Then they're off to the wilderness for 50 years.
