"Joe the Distraction" is a creation of the MSM
The MSM convinced far too many that the George W. Bush creature could sit in the Oval Office and pretend to be president.

"Joe the Whatever" has now proved that any mindless, know-nothing entity can stretch his 15 minutes into ... who knows how long?

But in reality, "Joe's" not to blame. If the media had just ignored him as nothing more than the joke of the day, would anyone still be talking about him? Would anyone even be aware of his existence?

"Joe the ..." is not the villain here. He's nothing more than a creation of the MSM.

We have been so screwed in so many ways, it may take a century for us to undo the damage done to us by the Republicans, fully aided and abetted by the MSM.

Then again, given the history of the past 30 years, "Joe" might just get to be our next president. -- Someone, anyone, please tell me I'm insane and that this could never happen.

1. Joe is a laughingstock. The media reports on him
because he does stupid things, not because they take him seriously.

3. Unfortunately, Doesn't Know His Own Name Or Occupation Joe
is an accurate reflection of a typical Republican these days.

4. Sorry. The only "Joe" I pay attention to is "Joe the Biden"...
the only "Joe" on the national stage that can really be President. :)

5. From your lips to the sky wizard's ears. However,
who would have ever thought that an amiable imbecile like Ronald Reagan could ever have become president? Not to mention a cruel, ignorant, hollow man like Bush?

Anyone who really believes that "Joe the Whatever," or even Sara Palin, couldn't become president needs a reality check.

Today, we Dems are ecstatic because Obama is our president. He's brilliant, charismatic, has the ability to inspire us, is a natural leader, and could very well turn out to be one of our greatest presidents.

But, don't place too much faith in the common sense of American voters. One only needs to take a brief glance at our history to understand that they'll gobble up crap as quickly as they'll gobble up fillet mignon.

It really is possible to fool most of the people most of the time. This is what the Republicans do best.
