His handlers really need to prep him better for this stuff, if they want to keep shilling him up through the 2010 election.

WTF? Seriously - this is the best the GOP can do? Sending this guy out on an outsourced whistle-stop, with no prep, to say nothing?

Lordy - they're worse off than I thought.

Yes, but they're fighting against the clogged pipes of the socialist communist economy-ruining agenda of the liberals, so obviously a plumber is the best man for the job!

Every time this guy opens his mouth his foot gets stuck in it.

In a shocking revelation, Joe the Plumber admits he doesn't know very much about an issue he is being paid to campaign against

The only thing he seems to be an expert in is attention whoring.

Heck, it worked for Paris Hilton and Octomom.

did he admit his name isn't joe and that he's not actually a plumber?

SOCIALISM IS BAD LOL

In a shocking revelation, Joe the Plumber admits he doesn't know very much about an issue he is being paid to campaign against

/yawn

Can someone honestly explain to me how he is still relevant?

"I know a little about a lot of things. But I don't know a lot about everything."

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

FlashHarry: did he admit his name isn't joe and that he's not actually a plumber?

He tried that, but "Sam, the not-a-plumber" never really caught on.

In a world of low hanging fruit, JTP is the lowest.

PottyMcNugg: Can someone honestly explain to me how he is still relevant?

Because he wants to be and influential and/or wealthy repubs seem to think it's a good idea to keep him relevant.

I'd have sympathy but he's really a willing participant here.

Seriously republicans how can you not feel embarrassed having this guy peddling around your message?

He sounds like a perfect politician...

I Said: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I could give you some knowledge about a dangerous little thing. [nudge, nudge]

I mean big. BIG thing.

Really. It's huge.

That wasn't a Freudian slip or anything. Seriously.

/Wait. You're a chick, right?

I mean the media has enough information to bury this guy, why don't they?

-Not a Joe
-Not a plumber
-doesn't know shiat about finances
-was living on other peoples couches

SeismicJizzer: Seriously republicans how can you not feel embarrassed having this guy peddling around your message?

I think they're trying to market the stupid.

SeismicJizzer: Seriously republicans how can you not feel embarrassed having this guy peddling around your message?

Does it make it better if I am, in fact, embarrassed by NotJoe the NotPlumber?

/Off to force a schism in the party.

The New Hope of the modern GOP: A plumber who doesn't know shiat.

I Said: Gangway Fathead: In a world of low hanging fruit, JTP is the lowest.

I wish I could forget Bachman. biatch is embarrassing to my state.

meh, at least he is honest about it.

Doesn't mean that he's entirely wrong.

Republicans:

Put these idiots away and do something constructive.

We are in an economic crisis. The executive and legislative branches are controlled by the same party. They hold the reigns on some of the biggest spending in history. Whether they are right or wrong, that is a lot of power in one group. This country needs a strong opposition.

We don't need Joe the Plumber.
We don't need Sarah Palin.
We don't need "The Republican Road to Recovery."
We don't need appeals to social conservatives.
We don't need people standing in the way of everything the President does because "libruls and socialists zomg!!!!"

We need a strong, intelligent, and constructive opposition. Start serving your country, not your base.

You know, I felt bad for this guy. I remember watching that debate and giggling after the first 4-5 plumber references, at how....ridiculous McCain looked. After Obama's "Joe the Plumber would pay Zero in additional taxes, John" biatch slap, I figured this guy's buddies would be making fun of him for YEARS. When people started going through his TAX returns and camping out on his lawn, I was angry.

And then he figured he'd cash in, and made himself look like an idiot. When he started biatching about how Obama "Didn't answer his question" and a 7 minute video of Obama talking to him surfaced, he lost all credibility.

It's very different when the question goes to Joe The Plumber.

EL_FABREZ: I mean the media has enough information to bury this guy, why don't they?

-Not a Joe
-Not a plumber
-doesn't know shiat about finances

I think they've tried, but the Republican base's capacity for self-deception is unlimited.

AR55: meh, at least he is honest about it.

not really. He just cracked under questioning. That doesn't make him honest.

He knew he was going to parade around and endorse an issue he didn't understand.

Subby is right.

It's shocking that he'd admit it.

Hibno: We don't need people standing in the way of everything the President does because "libruls and socialists zomg!!!!"

WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO!

If they actually cared enough to, they'd look like monsters.

Ironically, they'd look like monsters to many of the same folks who don't care that the GOP is taking advantage of him.

Hibno: Republicans:

Curiously the GOP and their base have no problem with all power concentrated in one party when it's "their" party. And had NO PROBLEM with out of control spending when they do it, ON TOP OF reducing government revenue to pay for such spending.

GTFO of here....

A guy asks one question and you libs are still raking him over the coles. You make me sick.

mander: A guy asks one question and you libs are still raking him over the coles. You make me sick.



I can't tell if this is a trole or not.

Joe the Plumber isn't in the plumbers union.

Because he doesn't have a plumbers license.

i know! he asked one question and then shunned the limelight, preferring to keep to himself and his privacy!

In a shocking revelation, who really gives a shiat?

I'm sure he handed out free apparel to everyone in attendance, though.

Uwe Bole is unimpressed.

this thread's on a role.

Stick in in your hole.

Benevolent Misanthrope: I think they've tried, but the Republican base's capacity for self-deception is unlimited.

Indeed. One need only look at how many Republicans at Fark claim that Bush wasn't a conservative to see that.

I Said: AR55: meh, at leat he i honet about it.

not really. He jut cracked under quetioning. That doen't make him honet.

He knew he wa going to parade around and endore an iue he didn't undertand.

I think it' mare a cae of knowing he wa going to make a buck walking around, and counting on no one aking him jack. And if they did, jut falling back on the old routine - "Man, I dunno about all that poe-liticul tuff, I'm jut a plain old workin' man. I love my country. And I'm tired of the fat cat running thing, jut like the Republican are. I'm not Democrat or Republican. I jut tell the truth. Like the Republican."

Holy crap I need to learn to type.
