Oh brother! Joe the you-know-what has been invited to join Palin in Ohio and he said...

[LiberalHeart]

...he's not sure if he'll appear with her tomorrow; he's not sure if he should "join the campaign." WTF does he think he was doing when he hit the talk show circuit?

Local news also reported that small business owners in Florida have started some kind of JTP group because this wonderful man has put a face on their concerns.

[brettdale]

1. Boy this jackass is in for a shock

When Obama wins, does he think, the repugs would give a fuck about him then?

[JNelson6563]

2. Exactly. He epitomizes the term "tool".

Oy.

[Cass]

3. What in the hell is so appealing about Joe the Plumber??

This is so lame.

[lonestarnot]

4. I guess it must be pug attraction to ass cracks.

[liberal texan]

14. Joe the plumber is what the right wing believes is the representation of America

an "average American" which to them means a white protestant male
Who isn't an intellectual who has "common sense" (brainwashed by limbaugh and Fox)

[struggle4progress]

19. Talking about Joe prevents discussion of McPalin's qualifications and policies

And waving plungers is something McPalin supporters find exciting to do. So the McPalin campaign loves them some Joe

[Bozita]

5. His agent simply needs a bit more time to put a deal together.

My plumber has an agent. Does yours?

[Heather MC]

6. I think this means there i more stuff JTP doen't want us to find out

[Sukie]

7. I missed part of what Keith Olbermann had to say about Joe

tonight, but what he seemed to be saying was that Joe may have actually been a plant. Something about a donation? Did anyone catch that? If true, I hope the McCain campaign does use Joe and then this story blasts them again.

[bkkyosemite]

8. And Joe is going to say I feel so used....

:rofl:

[bkkyosemite]

9. Or he may say yes because he may be able to get some clothes from Neman Marcus

boy are McPalin desparate.

[Ioo]

10. THe Unlicensed Liar, that Joe? - Why is the media not calling him on this?

THIS IS BS. He was making it all up. He is not even a fucking plumber

[LiberalHeart]

11. The media are getting dumped on conservatives who are pissed that they dug up stuff on Joe.

He's just a private citizen wanting to ask a candidate a questions, dontchaknow. Just a poor victim. How dare the media start asking questions about this guy who popped up in the debate a couple dozen times.

I think our local media, anyway, is feeling the heat and backing off. Except to give glowing reports on his appearances in the media.

The venue for Palin's speech in Ohio tomorrow: Findlay University (a Church of God school).

[PatSeg]

12. Someone should tell Floridians

that wonderful JTP doesn't believe in Social Security. That usually goes over really big in the Sunshine State!

[99th_Monkey]

13. HOW COULD HE DO THIS? ...after the GOP bought him a plumbers license and all. What an ingrate. ~nt~

[upi402]

15. licensed to lie - at least. not a plumer tho

he has a 'closet-full' i bet

[ColbertWatcher]

16. He was probably paid to appear on FOX and got perks like the VP has/is.

Oh, and as far as him "not showing" with Palin in Ohio-- he's playing hard to get.

[LiberalHeart]

17. Or he's waiting for a better gig. He blew off appearing with McCain to go on Fox.

[Heidi]

18. That's code for, "Show me the money." (nt)

[orleans]

20. that's what i thought! n/t

[radfringe]

21. “Joe the Plumber” gets a bail out

“Joe the Plumber” gets a bail out
Mark Mason and Dave Anderson interview "Joe the Plumber" who thanks everyone for their donations.

Samuel “Joe” Wurzelbacher, a 34 year old Ohio resident, asked Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama a question about how his business would be affected by the Obama tax plan. Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain picked up on the question and brought it into the national spotlight during their final debate.

It turns out that Wurzelbacher owes $1,200 in back taxes and needs $500 to pay for a plumber’s license.

NewsRadio 1190 KEX’s afternoon hosts Mark Mason and Dave Anderson from Portland, Oregon heard of Wurzelbacher’s plight and wanted to help. Mason and Anderson secured the website http://www.savejoetheplumber.net/ and started accepting donations. The goal was to cover Wurzelbacher’s tax bill and plumber’s license. By the weekend, $1,821 had been raised from donations coming from 31 states.

“The government is bailing out financial institutions,” said Mason. “We thought we’d help give Joe a bail-out.”

isn't this like.... ummmm...welfare? why didn't Joe the plumber go out and get 2nd-3rd job? after all, according to bush working multiple jobs to make ends meet is "uniquely american". Is "joe" unamerican?
