Joe the Plumber gets another gig
By John Amato Friday Mar 27, 2009 8:00amThis is not a joke. Americans for Prosperity, an anti-Employee Free Choice Act group, is hiring Joe the Plumber to speak at rallies against the average working class in America.
Joe the Plumber is hitting the campaign trail again! He’s been pressed into service to do a series of events throughout Pennsylvania rallying opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act, the organizer of the events confirms.
Mr. Plumber will speak at rallies against the measure in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia on March 30th and 31st, according to a spokesperson for the anti-EFCA group Americans for Prosperity.
“The public loves Joe the Plumber,” the spokesperson, Mary Ellen Burke, claimed to me. “They see him as a role model.”
Asked whether Joe the Plumber had any particular knowledge or expertise about EFCA that might explain the decision to enlist him, Burke said that he was being enlisted to provide a “grassroots perspective” and “the working perspective” on the measure.
Pressed on whether Joe the Plumber has any particular claim to being a spokesperson on the issue, Burke replied that “he represents the American worker.” Burke couldn’t immediately say whether Joe the Plumber was being paid for his appearances.
Wonder if he'll tell the anti-EFCA crowds they make him horny, too. Sounds like a sure recipe for success.
The public doesn't love Joe the Plumber, insane conservatives do. This only makes things look so much worse for Republicans in this country. How weak and foolish Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe must feel seeing that Joe the Plumber is being billed as a celebrity in the GOP. It's so pathetic.
I guarantee you that after his run dies -- well, OK, it may never die, because they are a leaderless party, and he's about as qualified as any of them -- but when it does and if a union job opens up for him, he'll take it in a second.

Doesn't he need little red jammies?
LOL! For what? Has America's land of heroes sunk below the waves?
He really strikes a cord with the unlicensed plumber males between the ages of 25 and stupid.
Yeah I agree. It would be neat if some real plumber would question him at one of these rallies. It would be neat that someone hold the asshole's feet to the fire. I am surprised no one has done it yet. Guess they guard him like they did Palin, McCain and Bush rallies where they only let in their base. I hope people see through these people.
Back in the days of Ray-gun, union steelworkers were so disgusted with the lack of presidential efforts to help the domestic steel industry that they mounted a protest. Big Man Ray-Gun showed how brave he was by escaping through a side door of the Pittsburgh hotel where he spoke. We'll see how Joe fares in the Pittsburgh area, where there are still some people left who see the value of unions -- unless the GOP hand-picks Joe's audience.
He's a role model for not paying his taxes? For being an unlicensed plumber? For being a fraud? Is this the best the theocratic fascist right can come up with?
and that delights me to no end.
Hell is somewhere else according to the superstitious dogmatists other then where we already are?

Hah. Scabs and shit like 'Joe the Plumber' get blacklisted.
He will say and do anything that anyone pays him to do.
I wonder what an Around the World costs. How about a Dirty Sanchez or Rusty Trombone? How much
JoeSam? Come on, man, you're horny...get on your knees. Again. Swallow up!for a California Hot Plate.
Cleveland Steamer.
And learn a whole lot. :)
Shiva is deciding who's going to live and die right now so, you better watch out, you better not pout!
If he's horny, maybe we should call him Joe the male sexual organ (JTP).
I'm sick of this guy. I hate that music played before he was introduced at that MRC event.
But, GOP, keep having this moron be your "hero" because he's going to continue to bring your party down.
By the way; I wonder if JTP does any work as a plumber any more?
We really don't know if he EVER did.
...is the American Idol of politics. I certainly didn't watch the show, let alone remember voting for him, yet he gets shoved into our faces by public relations.
I quote the much-heralded Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz when I say, "Go away!"
This idiot/whore has unwittingly had GOP dick up his ass ever since he came into prominence. This exploited dumb bastard is the poster child of what the Conservatives think of, and will do to average Americans.
have taken over the world. Joe's just one of the many "product's" they churn out for general consumption.
money do you think he's made? Betcha he has more now than he ever had.
Conservatives prop up and pay off this goof so that they can pimp the masses who think like him. Slavemasters took decent care of their house slaves(who were still slaves) while treating the slaves in the field like absolute shit. Joe the Plumber is a house slave for the GOP.
Whores have more dignity than Joe the Dickhead, Joe the Buttboy, Joe the Tossrag, Joe the Class Traitor.
Lovebucket?
cumdumpster? Ewwwwwwww. Not enough money in the world to pimp for retarded rightwing wackaloons.
Nope!
I don't think they feel "weak and foolish" when they see JTP. They're not representing him, they're representing the citizens of Maine, and they're doing a damn fine job of it.
Speaking as a Mainer (and a Democrat), I'm bothered that you use those two adjectives to describe those two senators.
I'll bring the rotten eggs to Harrisburg
With Alexander the Great and Smokey the Bear ....... Same middle name.
His name's not Joe, He's not a plumber, He's famous for asking a question about a business he didn't have. We don't even know WHAT he's done, other than attempt to ambush a presidential candidate with a stupid question. He's a perfect role model for the GOP, in fact, he may be overqualified.
He is indeed overqualified. His very essence says, I'm a POS, lying, SOB for the FUBAR GOP.
Loved your comment.
Jeff Gannon's long lost brother?
... was about Obama's 'socialist' plan to 'redistribute the wealth,' when 'Joe' is a welfare case.
Sarah Palin, Joe the Plumber and Rush Limbaugh. And these guys can't figure out why they keep losing elections?
the public is not an organized force. If we were we wouldn't be in this mess.
we'd be in some sort of dystopian hell.
already in that. A Garden of Earthly Delights with a touch of techno.

If you mean neocon Repubs, that ain't "we".
Besides, the public IS an organized "force" for a new direction in the ethics, morals, legality, and governance of our nation, and they showed it last November 4th.
That mess you speak of? It was there long before the election, and our "leaders" at the time let it happen.
"The public doesn't love Joe the Plumber, insane conservatives do."
Be careful, don't "misunderestimate" the stupidity of a good percentage of the American populace.
Yes, let's list that:
George Bush
George Bush Jr.
Ronald Raygun
Richard Nixon
Ahnold SchwartzenKennedy
Jeb Bush
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reid
Joe LIEberman
and that's just a start!!
I am afraid your right about that. It scares me to think in 2012 people will lose faith with Obama and put a republican back in. That will be terrible for the country. I pray people will give Obama a chance.
run? Bring it on!!
till we die off at this rate.
R.I.P. He did his best!
Here lies boozemop, and why not.
h/t to Spinal Tap
He was here a minute ago.
Here lies whatshisname...
Died from smokin too much weed...even though it's impossible.
He was very nice person, loved his mawma and did his chores.
Was loved by everyone, except for that bitch Amy who broke his heart.
Yeah...that's got a nice ring to it...what do y'all think?
don't care about tombstone, but want buried with ass up so politicians can kiss it.
park their bikes too! HA!
..the spokesperson, Mary Ellen Burke, claimed to me. “They see him as a role model.”
Check? Please!
Joe is the poster boy for everything that sucks in America.
Sarah and the anti-plumber can surely defeat Obama in 2012. I think this could be a whiner -- I mean, winner.
Anybody want to say they'd be surprised if that was the actual ticket for the GOP in 2012? Didn't think so.
Fucking A.
... that Jindal's hopes have ... cratered.
Nice!
I can only guess that Ted Nugent and that asshole Texas Ranger have their shorts in a knot having been kicked out of the limelight by this disturbed adolescent. Ain't internecine warfare a great spectator sport?
Gollum ("We eats it raw and wriggling!") and Chuckles the Ninja?
I mean shock and awe can't ya shut up now?
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Friday ordered 4,000 more military troops into Afghanistan, vowing to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan.
some serious ass!
Mr. Plumber? Now his last name is Plumber?
Joe the Whore!
...first, it's probably a good thing (for his customers) that he is indeed 'horny', since he's such a whore and apparently will continue to be so, at least they'll be getting their money's worth...and second, I do hope that one day he'll get a job where he, and/or others, are represented by a union...workplace 'accidents' do still happen, don't they?
That's why he was such a big help to McCain in the election.
that everything he rallies against would benefit him, and a large amount of other Americans, and everything he supports would not benefit him, and only a small amount of Americans?
He sure doesn't...neither does anyone who votes republican.
...would read like a more eloquent Gettysburg Address. The guy's a genius with a microphone.
Poster child of the terminal dumb ass crowd.
have a catch phrase like Larry The Cable Guy's Git'er Done?
It appears he is auditioning for the next Blue Collar comedy tour. I imagine Jeff Foxworthy's standards are a touch high for Joe.
This guy knows how to get over. A lot of people call that work but it's not. Anyone who calls themselves a plumber and is not one is a con artist at best. By illegally representing a trade they mock the very codes that licensed trades people are committed to follow. Joe the Plumber is an insult to competent trades people everywhere. His compensated opposition to EFCA is just one more glaring indication that he represents only his own egotistical interests, not those of working people.

Dang! If he keeps getting these jobs he'll never focus on becoming a country singer.

Joe the Plumber...
He could've been president in the film 'Idiocracy'....actually I understand Mike Judge could be doing a sequel....hey Joe, if this doesn't work out for you...your natural 'talent' will be tapped yet again...
Here he is at work:

“The public loves Joe the Plumber,” the spokesperson, Mary Ellen Burke, claimed to me. “They see him as a role model.”
======================================
Normal folk like me see him as an opportunist douchebag.
Joe "My real name is Samuel something-or-other" the Plumber is a role model?
For whom? Balding, potbellied, clueless, myopic, galumphing, idiotic, classless, deluded white-trash posers and pretenders who stupidly continue to vote against their own interests?
Jesus on a stick, what has this country come to?
Could the GOP and the right be any more pathetic ? That they used this clown in the McCain campaign and that he's still busy on the right wing nut circuit is truly scary . Seriously , these imbeciles have to be the dumbest and most ignorant on the planet , right here in good old "America the beautiful" .
Could we drop the pretense of calling him a plumber and start calling him Joe the Goldbricker instead? He hasn't held down a real job since John McCain made him famous, and it should be obvious to everyone by now that this lazy SOB would use any excuse not to work.
There's an A-hole like Joe the Goldbricker in every workplace. He's not the most productive or the most talented. In fact, he's probably the most useless employee. But he still manages to get ahead by sucking up to the man with the big desk. And every single one of his co-workers wants to kick his ass.
Joe the A-Hole fits a lot better, seeing as how he's an all-purpose jackass.
I've got just the guy for them. I was visiting a small town a couple of weeks ago and was in line behind a toothless rube who spouted just enough BS to raise my blood pressure about forty points while he was checking out at a store. It was all anti-Obama, and pro-Red White and Blue. He made about as much sense as Joe. I should have asked for his phone number so that I could pass it on to the neocons as their next big thing.
Bring Palins horny friend on.
Joe the Anything for a Buck Guy
there's a veritable plethora o' goodness there...

Wurzelbacher - Palin 2012
"Plumber and Dumber"
“The public loves Joe the Plumber,”
Yeah, and the French love Jerry Lewis.
So does Jerry Lewis.
If anyone does not believe that this man is a PLANT and is continuing to parrot talking points please start thinking.
Coulter is a plant. They know the talking points days or weeks before the news even gets them. No one is that immmoral, unless you are indoctrinated and paid to be so.
and Jeff/James the WH Corespondent/Male prostitute...same person???
or
separated at birth.
Good to see that SHAMuel the Unlicensed Plumber is looking out for the interests of the average working man, much like himself. It takes incredible fortitude for this man to maintain such a strong connection to the average Joe six pack while also being related to noted Savings and Loan fraudster Charles Keating through in-laws. Nothing like wearing an Eddie Bauer flannel shirt to further solidify your proletarian credentials. I think the Chuck Norris/Wurzelbacher 2012 Campaign is bound to resonate with us lemming proles.
Joe the Plumber: spokesperson??? How embarrassing for your nation. Can anyone take you seriously?
(Hint: We aren't: no one is-- America is broken and out of touch with any semblance of reality. Class-A nimrods. A three-ring circus.)
" but when it does and if a union job opens up for him, he'll take it in a second."
He'll take that welfare check too.
It's fitting that you feel horny, given that you look like a giant dick in a flannel shirt.
