Joe the Plumber: ‘I don’t know if the American public deserve me.’

[Pirate Smile]

Joe the Plumber: ‘I don’t know if the American public deserve me.’

Yesterday, the ubiquitous Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher — aka “Joe the Plumber” and “Joe the War Correspondent” — became “Joe the Economist” when he went and spoke to a House GOP breakfast on the economic recovery package. The New York Daily News caught with Wurzelbacher and asked about the meeting:

“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.” <…>

One thing that needs to be done, he said, is killing this stimulus package, because it’s just another example of “American government” — Republicans and Democrats — “kicking our butts left and right.” He also called it welfare.

When asked if he has a career in politics, Wurzelbacher said, “I don’t know if the American public deserve me, but my son definitely deserves my time now.”

[anonymous171]

2. We don't. Please go away and get a job. nt

[Merlot]

3. Yes, what ever did we do to deserve joe?

it must have been really stupid, what ever it was.

[tsuki]

21. Yea, we really f**ked up. nt

[NYCGirl]

4. He's right.

The American public deserves much better than him.

[treestar]

5. Right, Samuel, we don't deserve to have to listen to you

So go home and count your fictional millions.

[Sandrine for you]

6. Day after day he is a new joke.

[OhioChick]

7. Joe is such an embarrassment to the state of Ohio.

:eyes:

[Wickerman]

8. No, Joe, we're not off, now screw off and let the adults handle it. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

9. Good God, does anyone else hope McCain burns in hell for eternity for

giving two of the most fucking ignorant no-nothing white-trash media parasites their endless fifteen minutes of stardom? (Yes, I lump Palin in with Joe.)

[marketcrazy1]

14. we do not deserve Joe

our new President BANNED torture!!!!

[acmavm]

20. Oh yes. Forget his wrecking 5 jets. Forget his leaving the USS

Forrestal without permission when he caught it on fire. Forget his chit-chats with the Viet Cong. Forget Charles Keating and his near miss at going to prison.

I agree with you. The old bastard needs to rot in hell for eternity for forcing those two intellectually/ethically challenged low-rents on the public.

[TwilightGardener]

22. What's funny is that he probably can't stand them either--they were both

just campaign gimmicks. He wouldn't have touched them with a ten-foot pole if he hadn't been a desperate whore who would do anything to win.

[polmaven]

35. Please stop

holding back and tell us how you really feel about Sarah and Joe...You'll feel better...trust me!

[Enrique]

10. we're not worthy

[Crankie Avalon]

11. A two-time recipient of ACTUAL welfare has the nerve to hyperbolically throw the label around...

...in connection with productive growth and stimulus?

He's right, the American public doesn't deserve a burden on society like him.

[Smith_3]

12. Didn't Adolf Hitler say something similar shortly before the end of WWII?

That the Germans just didn't deserve him and that that is why they are losing...

[Smith_3]

13. "Joe the welfare queen."

go to hell.

[LeftinOH]

15. He's like a cold sore that won't go away........n/t

[wtmusic]

16. Joey want a cracker?

The GOP pet parrot is still making news...why?

[dbonds]

17. We sure didn't do anything to deserve that dimwitted jerk.

[guitar man]

18. Get a job you lazy POS!!!

:grr:

[Johonny]

19. just another example of “American government”

So Joe hates America?

[ogneopasno]

23. Awww, Samuel, what did your poor kid do to deserve you?

[Blue_Tires]

24. motherfucker!

the media have GOT to stop enabling this assclown...quit sticking a microphone in his face, and his 15+ minutes will die a merciful death...

[lonestarnot]

25. Me to Joe: I certainly think we fucking don't!

Could you just go away you fucking punk.

[Moostache]

26. Pathetic.

Sam the-not-really Plumber and all of his exploiters and enablers need to go away now.

The media outlets that cover this should be ashamed of themselves. We cannot get quality reporting and investigative journalism regarding the greatest financial meltdown of the past 100 years, we cannot get people to investigate Torture or Iraq lies or anything substantive at all....yet, we can give this asshole an extra 15 minutes? AGAIN?

The next time I EVER want to hear about this guy is in a trivia question or an obituary that says something about the "one-time minor media sensation following the 2008 Presidential Election" and then NEVER AGAIN!

I weep for the future of this nation if we cannot get a collective sense of disgust over this "get-everyone's-eye-off-the-ball" horse-shit already...

[underseasurveyor]

27. That is the first intelligent thing I've heard him say.

You're so right joe, you are the LAST thing we, the American public, deserve... now go away!:yoiks:

[WI_DEM]

28. Why the hell are the republicans giving this guy the time of day. He and Rush and Palin

are the future of the GOP! If that is what they think then they are in worse shape than I even thought.

[Starry Messenger]

29. I think he and Ashley Todd deserve each other. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

30. Would it be wrong to wish he'd fall into a pool of ravenous pirhanas

and be reduced to nothing but a few scant ossified remains?

[Old and In the Way]

31. Just one question, Joe.

Who's paying you how much to broadcast your un-American bullshit?

[Stevenmarc]

32. The GOP really needs to stop blowing smoke up his ass

he's starting to believe his carnival sideshow 15 min of fame.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

33. Is our children learning? nt

[rateyes]

34. Hey, Joe, what the hell did your kids do to deserve you?

Must've been something really, really bad.

[Ganja Ninja]

36. Werther we deserve you or not Joe it looks like we're stuck with you.

And its beginning to feel like a life sentence.

[CRK7376]

37. BWAHAAAAAAAA

What an Ass Clown....Speaks and uses grammar like his buddy, George.....Learn to speak coherently, then maybe we will listen.....NAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

[BlooInBloo]

38. Yes, we do.
