Joe The Plumber Now Advising Republican Party
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18324.html

*snip*
Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

...

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.

Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com.

3. No words can express the awesomeness of this.
Between Rushbo, Sam the fake Plumber and Moose Lady, the Pugs won't have another majority this century.

10. Jason Linkins on HuffPo:
"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."

14. Let's see.............
Edited on Tue Feb-03-09 02:57 PM by Proud Liberal Dem
We currently have Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, and now, "Joe The Plumber" serving as the "leaders" of the Republican Party right now?

Sounds like they're poised for a *HUGH* comeback in 2010 and 2012!!!!!

Be afraid, President Obama. Be VERY afraid.

17. How Can We Be Bi-Partisan With People Like This?
There's no such thing as bi-partisan consensus with a party who promote people like this.
