I can't stop laughing at this awesome report! :D :D

Quote:

So Not-Joe the Not-Plumber has now gone from not-plumbing, to being Joe The Candidate, to Joe the Country Star, to Joe the War Correspondent.

This, of course, after Not-Joe, expert that he is on Middle Eastern
affairs, publicly maintained that the election of Obama would lead to
the "death of Israel". Oddly enough, Israel appears to live, given that Sammy is heading there to war-correspond and whatnot.

I fully expect that on my next trip to the ER, the resident will be
one Samuel J. Wurzelbacher. After all, it's important to involve
Average Joes in the health-care industry, so as to prevent the field
from being dominated by all these elitist M.D.'s.

One has to wonder why so many exciting new career changes are
actually necessary for Not-Joe, given the lucrative not-plumbing
business he was prepared to start which would have crippled him under
the new SOCIALIST tax plan. I guess a $250,000 not-plumbing business
doesn't go as far as it used to.

Hahaha! I love it!

Good article michelle. Yeah funny how 250,000 doesn't pay the bills these days. I wonder what the would do if they had, you knowm average family incomes of 50,000 a year. Or worse single family incomes of 35,000 a year...poor buggers, might have to cut trips to alaska.

LMFAO!!

Joe the Plumber, war correspondnet? Man, every day it gets harder and ahrder to tell news programs from reality shows where people eat shit to win a thousand bucks.

Does anyone watch Bill maher's show? Every week he gives a list of "new rules" and the first show after the election he said "New rule: Obama's first act in office must be to raise Joe the Plumber's taxes. Not ALL middle class taxes. Just his. Congratulations, Joe the Plumber. You're in a tax bracket of one!"

I came across this bit of 'news' yesterday and I thought it was joke, like an Onion type joke. It was funny enough as joke. Now I get to laugh two days in row. Thanks Not Joe!

You know what the sad part is? The news is what the smart people watch.

Ouch my head hurts. I think that's te problem, if the 'smart' people get their info from the likes of fox and Joe The Reporter, and these are the people that other looks to, is there any wonder why there is a dumbing down of a nation. I have noticed a parrallel trend here as of late.

I wish I could take credit finding this, but all the credit goes to Scott Piatkowski...

Not-Joe the Not-Plumber and Now-Reporter says "media should be abolished" from reporting on war.

This guy is hilarious! I think he's a left-wing agent provocateur, pretending to be a right-wing "moran". I mean, you can't make up satire this good!

Disinformation is quickly reaching the point where I don't even trust what I am saying anymore.

The title of this thread makes me chuckle every time I see it. Do we have a Hall of Fame for thread titles? This one is a shoo-in for such an honour.

I think they should have gone to a journalism school where individuals were actually pursuing journalism as a career choice and done a streeter on their reaction to this particular hiring decision.

A group of GOP congressional staffers, the Conservative Working Group, has turned to an expert source for wisdom about the stimulus: Joe the Plumber. Shockingly, Joe -- real name Samuel Wurzelbacher -- isn't a supporter of the package.

“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!”

Woo hoo! The Republican Party has a bright future!

In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?

At a state level, it's up to them. I don't want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it's wrong. People don't understand the dictionary-it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do-what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we're supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they're people, and they're going to do their thing.

There is so much wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to start. Honky? Hahahaha!

This guy's a scream. He hurts whatever cause he embraces, so this is great news. :D

We only hurt the ones we love.

He woudn't let them anywhere near his children yet he calls them friends. I wonder what they call him.

Too bad they found him so late - he could have been Vice President. How many people could have made Dubya look smart and urbane?

seriously, why is everyone following this right-wing, bigotted, nutbar of nurbars? He's just going to end up going to cover war, kicking himself out, stratgize for republicams while furiously masturbating, wait for god to tell him whether to run for office or not, then get beaten to death by his gay 'friends' (although they may just be straight guys who drink coors lite, which isn't manly enough for not-joe so he calls them 'gay').

we need to stop paying attention to this guy. He isn't a left-wing plant, he's a right-wing lightning rod to draw us away from stories that really matter.

I can see the votes rolling in for the Palin / Plumber ticket in 2012, after all there is democracy LOL and the people would be electing their own, Sarah just a regular gun loving woman and everyman Joe, not some elitists who are friends with bankers.

It is funny but also horrifying, it seems we have arrived at the Age of Idiocy.

In that thuggish vein, apparently militias are now showing up to the Obama's health care townhall sessions fully armed.

The right wing media thugs oblique calls to violence appear to be working. One can only imagine what Joe's words will do.

Next incarnation: Comedian.

Quote:
Joe Wurzelbacher has worn a lot of hats - plumber, political activist, musician, commentator, author. Now he can add one more to the mix: comedian.

Wurzelbacher, aka "Joe the Plumber," has signed on as one of the stand-up comedians performing at September's "Funniest Celebrity in Washington" contest. The competition, now in its 16th year, is an annual gathering of politicos - funny and not so funny - awkwardly attempting comedy. Last year, former Gov. Mike Huckabee took home top honors.

And brace yourself, here it is... Youtube link.

Ha! That "comedy" routine is painful to watch. I got the embarassment cringes.

Not-Joe should probably keep his day job. Whatever that is this week.
