How about "Tomb-stoning" any DUer who ever again mentions "Joe the Plumber?"

[Cyrano]

This creature has probably had as much coverage as Paris Hilton.

For anyone who doesn't yet get it, he is a distraction, a bad joke, and an embarrassment to anyone who actually takes the trouble to think.

He is not about to go away on his own. Which leaves us with one alternative -- ignore his idiocy and his very existence.

And one of the best ways to make him go away is to ensure that this is the last post we ever read about him.

Anybody want to second this proposal?

4. Being against Joe the Plumber

is like being against clowns at the circus.

I want these people to trot out the same buffoons day after day after day.

I want Rush, Michael Steele, Joe the P, Sarah Palin etc. to be the "face of the GOP."

7. how calling him not a plumber because he isn't and he never was a plumber.

my Grandfather was a licensed plumber that ran a union shop, calling Joe the what the fuck ever a plumber is an insult to actual plumbers.

That'll fix them goddamn bigots.
