I am truely impressed with this Joe the Plumber guy.
I have never seen anyone stretch their 15 minutes of fame like this guy. The most impressive part is the fact that he seems to not be able to actually think.

1. Where the fuck has he showed up now?
Really, hasn't he and the rw crew figured out that he is a huge joke?

3. He's a war correspondent in Israel
No, that's not the punchline to a joke. That's the actual truth. This is after his short stint as a political commentator on Faux News and his work to promote the transition to DTV.

6. That website folded several weeks back.
Guess their plan to drive up traffic with Sam the Plumber's Assistant didn't pay off and they went belly up.

9. They use washerless faucets over there, too--not much call for a bozo with a pocketful of washers
and no plumber's license...

14. You know, I can't get the image out of my head.
This dumb jackass gets done wanking off a couple ISraeli officials and talking about how evil the Arabs are... And then when the cameras are off he looks around and goes "MAN! I could use a snack! Anyone know where I can get some fried pork skins and a milkshake?"

8. Now wait a minute . . . Ventura actually governed, and not especially badly . . .
Palin, of course, is a mass of cancerous tissue.

16. Sam Wurzelbacher aka Joe The Plumber...
aka Joe the 2x Welfare Recipient...aka Joe the Tax Scofflaw...aka Joe the Movie Star...aka Joe the Country Singer...aka Joe the War Correspondent...aka Joe the Political Strategist...aka Joe the Economic Advisor...aka Joe the Politician:

"He chatted up GOP Congressional staffers at a breakfast Tuesday, telling them, according to the New York Daily News: It's not politically incorrect to say you're Republican or conservative," JTP said. "They need to dig their heels in and fight for what needs to be done. I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white. There's right and wrong."

"Joe wants to kill the stimulus package, which Joe thinks of as welfare, because it's an example of "American government" -- Republicans and Democrats -- "kicking our butts left and right."

"When asked if this Capitol Hill appearance foretold of Joe's political aspirations, JTP told the New York Daily News: "I don't know if the American public deserves me. But my son definitely deserves my time now."

Hmmm..I think that it is just a teeny bit presumptuous on the self-professed economic/political guru's part to conclude that the American public is not worthy of his sage advice and leadership at this time..or at any time for that matter.

I'll give "Joe" credit for one thing though, he certainly knows how to squeeze every millisecond out of his 15 minutes of fame.

Interesting how no city, state, or federal government officials have snapped him up yet to serve in an "advisory" position. But perhaps there is a "village" official needing "one" somewhere...
