Ahhh. Didn’t take him long to figure out the nature of the Gooper Gravy Train. Little Sarah must have coached him on how to con the rubes out of all the swag you can grab.

Political Handle Jiggler…! LOL! ;-)

Well he certainly seems to have very quickly mastered the art of self promotion.

oh good grief! go back to anonymous nothingness joe

I think he’d be better served mastering the English language first.

A majority of the portion, also, should probably also go to Sarah. She is gonna have a hard shopping withdrawal. Also.

I prefer to think of “Joe” the “plumber” as the political shit swabber.

The Grifters, they are multiplying…kinda like cancer.

Joe isn’t bright enough to succeed at anything. His best hope is that there will be another Redneck Comedy Tour. They might let him help unload the trucks… Git ‘er done!

They would drum him out of the Republican Party if he did.

“We will keep a check on both the Republicans and the Democrats for not only living up to their promises, but also not let them dictate to people how to live and spend their hard-earned fortunes,” he said.

Oh, yeah Joe I’m sure you would have voted “No” on California Proposition 8, right?

Send me your tired, your huddled masses and $50.
What a joke he is.

Let’s Digg Joe the Plumber a septic tank to fall into…

Joe isn’t bright enough to succeed at anything.

Are you sure? This is a crowd where Jonah Goldberg and Bill Kristol are “successful.”

At this point a bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy would be a hard choice. Please, let us draw the curtain of charity across the staged calamity known as “Joe The Plumber.”

I especially like how he has a mission statement that can be summed up as “We will keep a check on both the Republicans and the Democrats if they stray from Republican priorities.”

The greatness of America, where anybody can become a success, as long as mommy or daddy have the right connections.

Hasn’t anybody told Joe the Plumber’s Helper that his fifteen minutes are up?

Another translation: “Praising his countrymen for being very generous to various charities, he said he hoped they will be generous with him if he declares himself to be a charity (but never a charity case, oh, no!)”

He added that he also planned to launch http://www.secureourdream.org, which he said will be a charity branch of the watchdog site to raise money “for all sorts of charities and causes for fellow Americans.”

Sounds like Joe is going to plumb the depths of American redneck libertarianism. A true rugged individualist in the best American tradition.

The day this really took off Jane used a photo of a potted plant. I was skeptical at first since the story was that Obama just showed up while Schmoe was in his front yard. Given the way this has been played up, the constant lies, and the rapid media whoring and talking point spewing makes me think Jane was correct.

I mean, I had first viewed the unedited clip of Obama’s interaction with Joe before he became the story. I was so blown away by how thorough, honest, and direct Obama was in his answer that I was sending the link around to friends saying, “See, this is how to win Repubs over…” thinking Obama had won Joe’s vote for sure.

Then the liar goes on every media outlet possible and acts like Obama didn’t say a word to him! Just repeating the same tired points over and over again even though Obama addressed each one at length. Joe then begins to robotically repeat talking points about every single pet issue for Repubs as well. Seems like he’s reading a teleprompter programmed by Lush Limpbaugh.

McInsane eventually makes Joe the centerpiece of the campaign in ads and even a Web site. All within a week or two. Plant indeed.

By the way, did we ever figure out if Joe is related to one of Charles Keating’s business partners?

Yes, but like most Republicans, he doesn’t listen.

I predict in six months, he will be reduced to using his celebrity to hawk porn movies he has starred in.

Yes, well, Bill Kristol began life as Dan Quayle’s brain. Maybe he used it too much when it was new.

“Yes, I would make money to some degree from this charity Web site, but not a whole lot because a majority of the portion collected through this Web site would go to help fellow Americans get a decent living.”

Yep! And we all know that “Joe” is just a fellow American looking for a “decent living”.

He sounds a bit lit the anthrax-hoax guy Marc Keyser, creating a bunch of “educational groups” that fundraise with almost all the money going to the “educators” (i.e. himself)

http://www.kcra.com/station/3547993/detail.html

It’s nice to know that both Joe and Sarah Palin have something to do with the election over.

I think he should have called it the Rube Institute in honor of those who are likely to fund it.

This guy is as self-delusional as Sarah Palin. What a perfect future ticket of the truly Know Nothing Party.

That way he could put to work his knowledge of how to lay pipe.

Quick trip to the remainder bin there.

The opportunities for bad plumber puns are numerous and great.

Wow, he certainly deserves a throne.

Offhand, I can’t think of any good plumber puns.

he said he hoped they will be generous with him if he declares himself to be a charity

charity? You think Joe’s bright enough to know that he needs to be a 501(c)(3)?

anybody know a friendly halfway decent at least somewhat human *ambitious* IRS person?

I hear they pay a reward for tips leading to convictions. 8-)

Y’know, isn’t taking money from one person and charging a fee to give it to another person is also known as “banking”.

brain bleach!

Awesome. Because a guy who can’t figure out how to become a licensed plumber and who ducks his tax liabilities is gonna be an FANTABULOUS “political watchdog”.

Soon his verbal stylings will be featured at NRO and other fine Wingnut Welfare establishments, I am sure.

“Joe” is a Republican icon but not in the way that John McCain and his handlers imagined. He is the perfect embodiment of that sub-species, that complete loser, who with a straight face tries to convince everyone that he is a loser because of the evil government. If only the tax rates were lower head get off his dead ass and start that company and make a million dollars. But hell, with the jack boot of marginal tax rates of 34% hanging over your head, why bother? Might just as well work at the Jiffy Lube heh? See its not that your a fucking loser, its that 2% differential in the marginal tax rate! Yeah, that’s the ticket…

…and in how to mangle the English language. WTF does that first sentence even mean?!

Not to mention “where the hell were you when this administration was doing everything you’re railing against now?!!”

Rrrrrgh.

FunnyD

You know he must have gotten numerous generous “offers” for affection from his numerous fans in the GOP on both sides of the gender isle. There must be a market there.

Yes, but have you ever looked at Republicans? I mean, you really expect somebody to pay for that?

He’s the poor man’s Leona Helmsley.

ROTFLMAO!

Come to think of it, the Thugs are more often caught giving than receiving…but only where sex is concerned.

Psst, Joe, here’s a tip. Don’t buy anything on time because you’re yesterday’s news. Now let’s stop talking abouth this asshole and move on to something else…

Joe the Blogger (shudder)

He’s circling the drain.

If a million people send Joe a dollar, he’ll have a million dollars. Fu*k the (future) Plumbing Business.

Joe has not yet even begun to plumb the depths of bad English…

But then he’ll have to pay TAXES on that hard-earned money!

Dude needs a myspace page.

If a million people send Joe a dollar, he’ll have a million dollars.

A fool and your money…

watching Rachel rerun, footage of Obama’s victory stage appearance last night, Barack and Michelle kissing and hugging…

I would have really liked if they had done the Terrorist Fist Bump…

I would have really liked if they had done the Terrorist Fist Bump…

I know, me, too. But they never strut. Amazing control.

Joe t. Plumber, not all he’s cracked up to be.

Better yet, an old fashioned soul shake with three part harmony, followed by a Black Power salute. Wingers everywhere would have soiled their linens.

Sounds like Sam, um JOE, plans to keep 49% of his ill-gotten new internet wealth, which makes him among the most rotten charities. Saying “a majority of the portion collected through this Web site would go to help fellow Argentinians Americans get a decent living” sounds like what got Evita Peron in trouble.

But she didn’t have a pretty bald head like Sam, um JOE.

It’s been funny all day watching the various cable news pundits running around giving their opinions on the expectations of the Obama Administration. High, low, quick, fast….blah, blah, blah. Only hannity is sticking to his old talking points.

Has anyone heard if Sarah has turned in her clothes yet? Like the light fixtures? Just wondering.

Evenin’ All,

drivin’ by –

did y’all see we picked up another DEM House Seat . . .in Idaho !!!

wave on wave
Big Orange

Only when you expect to get the money back.

Joe the Plumber and Larry the Cable Guy are going on tour!

This is really becoming a parody in itself. It’s all planned out. Do the “get the government off our backs” schtick that seems to work so well in red states, put out an album of “America is only perfect when Republicans run things” songs, do a movie with Larry the Cable Guy, and open a NASCAR rally.

it actually makes me kind of sad to think of “Joe the Plumber,” symbol that he is of the incredible triviality and foolishness to which the McPalin camp sunk as McCain invoked Joe’s “name,” over and over, to fill the void left in his campaign by its incredible lack of actual ideas…a meaningless mantra chanted with increasing hysteria as the Stray Talk Express ran itself off a cliff…what a political legacy…

The is a job for ABC’s Chris Bury to investigate where the clothes are now. I heard not-First Dude spent a bunch and she spent more than previously reported.

Great idea….I wish Cindy McCain would write a magazine article on her experience and thoughts of the Palin ride. It would be a hit, I think.

maybe the campaign paid for a few new dogsledding parkas…

Looks like the RNC re going to need a shit load of Liquid Plumber to clean out that overflowing septic tank!

Sam the Wingnut Joe’s got a Liquid Brain-O.

I’m sure Joe d’ plumber will hook up with Hank Williams Jr. as a side show on his next tour somehow. Damn, I used to like Hank Jr.!

McCain should have hired Joe the Plumber as his campaign manager…..He couldn’t have done any worse than the hacks McCain had running his show.

-G

Bowl-cephus.

-G

which suggests that Joe may have a promising new career as a …lobbyist?

OK, that’s funny!

Joe the plumber? YOU DON’T MATTER ANY MORE!

i was promised that once the election was over i wouldn’t hear about this dick-headed scumbag ever again.

shivin’ & shankin’ upstairs

I am beyond tired and emotionally done it after all the excitement, etc etc, + my nice TX Demo lost to the Repub 2 term incumbent who captured his seat after the dirt Bugman Delay redistricting. Really too bad. Nonetheless, I can still feel by bones get nervous at the thought that McCain or Palin could be our President. The state beyond fear. Obviously alot of other folks felt that way as well. So nice Sarah has gone home to dance with the old Senator. Perfect.

I predict we will never hear of him again by next week unless he commits a felony.

Didn’t Paris Hilton say (after she got out of jail) that she wanted to do something to help people? Maybe she and Joe can start a Think Tank….

or maybe a septic tank….

I heard on KO that since Palin has two years of her governorship left she could go back and resign her office, the luitenant governor would take over, and he could appoint her Senator if Ted Stevens is denied from serving his term and would need to have the governor replace him.

Is that called a short-order?

Hank Jr. used to have talent as well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..re=related

I think his talent tanked about the same time Pox Newz launched.

I’ll bet the McC people wish they had never brought Joe out. He has become a national cartoon.

Along with Palin….try to imagine the Cabinet we might have had.

LOL

Hilton said that on Larry King and it was complete bullshit. King had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing when she said that.

Wouldn’t that be a stink skank?

None of this Plumber Joe stuff has anything to do with politics anymore. He’s casting about wildly for approval. Won’t someone please, please, please validate his ego and stroke his fur.

He got savaged in the media, in full view of the public, because of his own idiocy. Now he’s desperately looking for someone to pat him on the head and approve of him again to reverse the blow to his self image.

Joe, you lost. You don’t get to dictate anything to anybody. It’s time someone woke the right up and let them know that they don’t call the shots any more.

What I found interesting was the responses in the article to the JTP story. Many respondents are quite supportive, and see him as a hero.

“….. contributors ,whose HATRED for common man Joe … “

Amazing how some people worship others who are only looking to pick their pockets. If it’s not JTP, it will be someone else or another organization. Some things never change.

then he’ll have to learn the computer……………

he said will be a charity branch of the watchdog site to raise money “for all sorts of charities and causes for fellow Americans.”

There’s a red flag.

“so he’s decided to create a septic think tank”
This might be a dumb question, but is that a typo?
Did you mean septic stink tank? Like the AEI?
