Joe the Plumber a homophobe. Really, are we surprised?
Today's right is beyond help. Joe's comments about not having his kids around "queers" was just another in a long list of why the Republican party is in dire need of a total face lift. I simply can't see them making any inroads in 2010 or 12 when "spokespeople" such as Joe, Rush, and the rest of their ilk continue to be the true voices of modern day Republicanism. But they will always have that 25 to 30 percent of "real Americans."

So, I guess I have to say to Joe - continue getting your face and your comments out there. It will only help our progressive causes in the long run.

2. Oh, the comedy gold
The only thing that would be a detriment is to see countries around the world covering the election. Can you imagine the BBC and its coverage of such a ridiculous event such as this?

5. Gannon had the smarts to disappear and drop out of the public view
Palin and the Plumber think that the media keeps covering them because they're valuable. The truth is the media loves them because they're stupid, not in spite of it.
