Joe the Plumber Bails on McCain
By SilentPatriot Thursday Oct 30, 2008 12:01pmCheck out this hilarious blooper from McCain's rally in OH today. After calling on his new found poster boy to stand up and be recognized, the Senator realizes that he's nowhere to be found. McCain not-so-quickly recovers by saying, "You're all Joe the Plumber. So all of you stand up!"
Maybe Joe was in the studio recording his new album? Classic.
And apparently he needed to bus in a boat load of kids to fill the audience.
A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses.
UPDATE: John Amato:
I guess McCain didn't mind when Joe the Plumber was made a fool of by Sheppard Smith and said this about Joe.
"...it just gets frightening sometimes."

Man, what a ready-made Halloween costume McCain is! With those robotic arms and bulging cheeks and rotted teeth, he'd scare the bejeebus out of any trick-or-treater!
I was going to say "first," but then thought better of it. ;)
Sorry John, no Joe the Plumber and even Sarah the douchebag was missing. Maybe she was making another baby with Joe the Plumber. She was probably learning how to snake his pipe.
I would feel sorry for him if he weren't running such a dispicable campaign.
You're all tax-evading, unlicensed, delinquent, welfare fathers!!! HOORAY!!
Joe the Plumber :|
LET'S VOTE ALREADY!!!!!
Our tax dollars at work?
That's crap
Accuracy of the claim aside, by claiming that we've learned more about Obama in two weeks thanks to "Joe" the "Plumber"'s question than we have in two years, isn't McCain basically admitting he's run a crappy campaign that has failed to define his opponent or educate people about him?
The same thing happens in Canada when the right to life groups have a demonstration against abortion.
The local Catholic and evangelical schools bus in their students to swell the numbers.
It's a desperation move no matter how you look at it.
Why is it that they keep saying that the polls are close when McCain has to bus people in to fill his venues?
I call BS
they've found a way to have all these kids vote.
I thought republicans were against bussing.
I guess Joe The Plumber had someone else's crap to go take care of.
Sorry...it was too easy.
That's what McCain gets for picking an inexperienced, liar redneck from nowhere to represent his campaign...(Sorry, not you this time Palin)
It's just getting sad now. Can someone please give that poor old man a ride home?
Joe was busy doing some pipe work at the condo of a gay, Muslim, elitist, black socialist with terrorist ties.
You forgot Satanist arugula eater.
And Witch Hunter!
Oh wait, that's Palin's guy.
Nevermind!
I would bet a large sum of money that this isn't the first time Mccain has bused in kids for his rallies. I wish someone could find out about this.
Guess where I first heard about all these kids being bused in today. It was on Fox news this morning. Whoever their guy is that's traveling with McCain told about it.
That's funny that Joe skipped out on his date with McCain. I guess Joe figured he had milked this campaign enough to get what he wanted so he flew the coop. If the guy had any sense he would go into hiding. He has been made to look like a total fool, and to make it worse, fox news had a big hand in that.
"That's funny that Joe skipped out on his date with McCain. I guess Joe figured he had milked this campaign enough to get what he wanted so he flew the coop."
Narcissism is very becoming of a Republican.
"If the guy had any sense he would go into hiding. He has been made to look like a total fool"
Not having any sense and total foolishness are also very becoming of a Republican.
...and were parents notified before they went to this thing? If my school district did this without my permission, they would have an instant lawsuit on their hands at a bare minimum.
My high school junior son is a big Obama supporter and would not have wanted to attend this. What happened to the kids who objected?
What a pathetic loser.
I wonder how long it will be before Cindy dumps Gramps?
My guess is by December.
she needs a fix these last few days.
If he loses, I'm sure his chances of getting dumped/cut off are dramatically increased.
she ever made.
Worst. Investment. Ever.
pathetically hilarious.
Or gramps dumps his Depends?
Actually, McCain Ditches Joe the
Plumber, for ‘Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber
Ooooohhh, those dick fingers again!
One county here in Florida is busing 18 year olds to the voting booths if the kids want to vote. They interviewed some of the kids after they had voted and the kids were so excited. They said they were going back to school and share their experiences with their younger friends. The reporter said there had not been one complaint from anyone.
Earlier today Fox tried to make something of this, but really there was nothing bad to be said.
I think they got the perfect poster boy for the Repukes as described by Blue Lensman tax-evading, unlicensed, delinquent, welfare fathers. Add self-aggrandizing as well as goes against his own self-interest in favor of the party and you have him down pat.
...hiring illegals to go door to door for him to get out the vote, does he have anyone at all to help him? Or is this a manufactured campaign?
Made in China?
Doesn't Cindy McCain do campaign stumps separately from her husband? Is she worried about what reporters might ask of her?
Didn't John Kerry's wife in 2004 at least make a few speeches here and there?
It's kinda creepy how Cindy is always lurking in the background. Or is she there to make sure Grampy doesn't wander off the stage?
She chimes in once in a while to remind everyone her son is in Iraq and to express how angry she is that Obama voted against a funding bill for the troops. She usually follows that by saying she wishes Obama could walk in her shoes.
So does Obama if she loaned him her nylons and garters too.
Actually, he's got great legs. I bet he'd look great in her shoes.
Cindy McCain is a rich creep. I wonder what she said when her husband voted against a funding bill? Probably 'Good for you John!' I will say this for the McCains though, and for Palin, at least their kids are fighting in this crappy war. Unlike say Mitt Romney's sons or any of the other chicken hawk Republican's who think it's perfectly fine for someone elses kid to die fighting for oil and political one-ups-manship.
Sent off to war to become a statistic and a purple campaign badge to worn by mommy dearest during her next campaign.
No wonder the expendable Track looked so scared at that RNC thing when it was announced he was off to Iraq, he knew he was being set up, Worth more as a dead statistic, than hanging around at home being arrested (and bailed by mommy) for whatever the latest meth game is up in smalltownville AK.
That's what I love about the McCampaign -- one glorious train wreck after another. The hits just keep on coming.
The part of Joe the Plumber will now be played by Dick the Weed.
You just insulted all dickweeds.
I know.
Isn't dickweed when your weed's full of seeds?
It's just getting sad now. Can someone please give that poor old man a ride home?
He asked for it.
He could have run a straight up campaign, and win or lose, he would have gained respect from the left and helped to heal the country.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...he had to climb into the gutter and ask for a streetfight, and we were forced to kick the crap out of an old man.
L&P, I didn't mean to imply that he doesn't deserve to be ridiculed... but it's still getting sad. Even he knows that it's over. You can see it on his face.
Is this the Defiance School Song?

Douche the bag. Anyone? Anyone?
I'm hear all week, folks. Be sure and tip your waitstaff.
Is it true that next week Dumb the fu*ker will appear there?
Joe 'bailed' on him....hmm, wonder if Letterman has him scheduled yet???
Palin is speaking somewhere right now and it's on tv. The kids standing behind her were most likely bused in and it would appear they are being held hostage. The look on their faces says it all.
child abuse?
The expression on the kids faces looked like they would rather be in jail than standing there.
Can we officially declare his campaign dead yet? How hurtin' is this? And ...I LOVE IT.
good lord...can't they...THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!
Yeah, they did think of the children when they couldn't find any adults they could force to attend.
to let their inmates be used as RNC props at WcCain/Palin reich rallies, claiming it would be 'cruel and unusual' punishment...
And GOP sex offender types prefer young meat...
When I was a kid in school what they refered to as getting pops was getting paddled.
Interestingly enough when a young attractive male vp was hired, all the girls wanted him to do it instead of the woman who normally handled them.
Is it true that next week Dumb the fu*ker will appear there?
No. He's being held hostage in the White House.
True. Sorry, I forgot. But he's soon to be sprung and then he could appear.
Joe was stuck in a toilet he got himself into.
Call David Letterman he understands and can help John heal from being dissed by his best friend Joe the Plummer.
I'd love to see Bush in one of his quiet moments, around now. What went wrong? It does not compute.
Thinking about The Robot in Lost in Sapce, from "danger danger, warning," to "it does not compute", like he got doused with some juice from the hydroponic garden, and is shorting out. I like the visual.
my name is ross the plumber , and i am licensed[and unionized]and is why i live in a beautiful paid for home, can afford to go on long vacations , am retired and put every one in my family through college
and i voted today
all Dems , when we had local seats with only repubs i chose not to vote in those slots
Don'tcha mean ...I chose not to vote in those sluts?
I gotta say, wow, NICE SAVE!
/super snark
I wonder how many "C"-words McCain uses about Palin each day.
Cindy's gonna have to dump him. She has had her First Lady wardrobe in design for months. Inauguration Cindy, entering the White House Cindy, and lots of others. Maybe she'll "donate them to charity"???
Cindy should take her millions, buy herself a replica of the White House kitted out with The Oval Office, Rose Garden, Lincoln Bedroom, the whole shebang. Then she can play at being First Lady like some fucked up Miss Haversham. McCain can ramble about it in his slippers and dressing gown playing pretendy president.
Marie Antoinette's faux-farm, Petit Hameau, 200 metres from the Versailles palace of the Sun King -- perfumed sheep and all?
rent a suite there and pretend to be first lady.
http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/18-07...
and see the expression on McCain's face when he next has to talk to Barack and say..."Congratulations, Mr. President"!!
It's getting clearer and clearer that not only Joe the Plumber has bailed on McSame. American will show him and his sidekick that we, too, have bailed on these two frauds.
Sara and Joe the plumber.
She's already having fantasies about his plunger.
Sounds like the next installment of Who's Nailin' Palin.
it would be awful listening to her screech, while....
"oh John, you are back early, meet Joe the Plumber..."
how else could silver spooned John know of or meet up with plastic spooned 'Joe' Keating...
I totally agree with you. I have empathy for him, he is a person,...but I have no sympathy.
He created the atmosphere that led to his now potentially being totally humiliated.
He always sold himself as an honorable man, and he has shown himself to be dishonorable.
I will NEVER forget the "THAT ONE" comment. Never. It was callous and uncalled for...and was a final indication of the true nature of this man.
Everything that has happened to McCain's campaign is the result of McCain's decisions. If he makes nothing but bad decisions in his campaign, what would he do in the white house?
He'd tun the country the way he ran his campaign. Man, then we'd all be "Joe the fake Plumber" for 4 years. The horror! Get that man the next bus home, the Straight Talk Express no longer has any room on it for poor John.

McSame and Pal still have a bright future ahead of them. They could probably team up and make a nice family-friendly western like, "Mavericks in the Sage".
That sounds like a sequel to Brokeback Mounting
When I was waiting to vote last week there was a young black couple in front of me with a baby and a little boy who proudly announced to everyone that he was five years old. His dad asked him who he wanted to win. The little boy said, John McCain. His dad said, Are you kidding? The little boy said, Dad, I know how to push all your buttons.
...also a favorite media tactic of Dear Leader in North Korea.
This is good... real good! Especially the freak sideshow in the background flogging the dead horse... pathetic.
Thank GOD for Joe the sorta-Plumber! If not for honest, hardworking, country western singing, tax-evading regular Joes like him and his publicist, how else would we have discovered Obama's nefarious plan to seize our collective wealth and spread it around like peanut butter? He's going to take it from us, and give it right back to---you guessed it!---US.
Fiendish!
Soon we'll all long for the days when our collective wealth repeatedly bailed out the failed and wreckless schemes of the obscenely rich and powerful---just like God intended it.
Good day.
Maybe he'll go on tour with the Dixie Chicks. :)
...as stupid as the idiot we now have in the White House for the next four years.
God, that sends a shivver down my spine.
and I know what happened to Joe the Plumber!
And later there was a puppet show for all the kids!
Time to turn up the heat. Talk to friends. Spread the word and of course...VOTE!
It's the homestretch. We have to win...and win HUGE. Leave no doubt. The GOP needs to be humiliated. The bullies in the GOP will react like all bullies do. They will lose interest...and go away. Bullies don't fight for the long haul, they don't have the convictions to do it. Most of the GOP rank and file is made up of front runners that wanted to run with the lead back. Once they're beaten back, then perhaps more moderate elements of the GOP can regain control, and bring civility to our politics.
I am not asking for...nor do I want...the GOP to become Democratic-lite. Opposition is good. Honest disagreement and discussion is good. It's good for people, it's good for the country.

Puppet Show
John McCain
McCain - "What the hell is that!?!?!"
Handler- "Geeez, if I told them once...I've told them a thousand times..it's John McCain and Puppet Show!'
With apologies to Rob Reiner!
Yet another McCain flip-flop. What ever happened to, "We are all Georgians now?"
I doubt it would be - the staff and administration are almost 100% dems. I'd be pretty pissed off if my bosses told me I had to spend most of my work day taking kids to see McCain. I'm not sure I'd be able to keep my profanity in check and I know darned well I couldn't take hearing the grating voice of Caribou Barbie.
I'm not sure how the laws work in OH but I'm sure most districts in MI would not take the opportunity to turn a political stop into a field trip. Almost all in my area have bans on using news channels in the classroom until after the election hoopla is over to avoid any accusations of teaching the kids to favor one party over the other. We can't touch the topic unless it is an approved, bi-partisan curricular approach.
You can imagine some of the more lippy kids taunting the GOP rednecks with near silent Obama chants.
The bodycount and GOP arrest records would be interesting.
Lurch finally showed up

Joe the Plumber might make enough money singing to finally have to worry about that Obama tax increase. I doubt it but it's probably a safer bet than him raking in $250 net from a business that currently grosses $100K.
Sounds like one of the Christo-fascist, Heritage, Liberty, Freedom chartered school set-ups that are inherently anti-secular and anti-democracy. Those poor children will spend a lifetime -- at least some of them -- trying to extract their lives from that hate-filled, religionist sectarianism.
Ahhh...schadenfreude. It feels oh so good.
That was yummy and delicious to watch. Priceless!
Guess this makes Ole Joe a real mavericky maverick himself. Welcome to the team of mavericks, Joe.
Wow, we have two newspapers in Oklahoma City, dumb (Gaylord owned "Daily Oklahoman") and dumber.
As I've said before, the state of Oklahoma is completely insane with conservative whack-jobs.
All of those Nichols Hills debutantes can't wait until Joe comes. He ain't the plumber, he's the plumber man's son. And he'll lay pipe for ya baby 'til the plumber man comes.
There's a clogged toilet at Cafe Nova.
"Maybe Joe was in the studio recording his new album?"
No, my guess is Joe the Plumber was out behind the bleachers signing some RACKS, and taking fan pictures with groupies when McCain called on him.
And yeah, you can be sure you're a failure as a right wing talking head when Sheppard Smith takes the piss out of you. To use a football analogy, that's sort of like when a lineman takes out his own quarterback.
Recording "Drill, Baby, Drill" with Toby Keith.
Hiding from the "liberal elite" media.
Taking his plumber registration test.
Shining his head.
Praying to the baby Jesus for guidance.
Beating his wife.
Looking up the word "Marxist" in the dictionary.
Choking on his own vomit from mixing prescription pain-killers with too much Jim Beam.
Agreeing with every word Rush Limbaugh says.
Flying his new Lear jet that was a gift from his Keating 5 relative.
Beating his children.
Standing in line for early voting.
Surprising his wife with a nice souffle and flowers he picked himself.
Auditioning to be the new Mr. Clean for Johnson & Johnson.
Preparing for his first vice presidential debate on the Palin/Plumber ticket.
Beating his dog.
Having an introspective moment while gazing into an absolutely delightful glass of Shiraz.
On the crapper.
Being arrested for tax-evasion.
And the number one place Joe the Plumber could be right now?
Underneath Cindy's dress.
So, McCain didn't know where 'Joe' was. Does McCain know where HE himself is?!
There he is!

I once held a Master's Plumbing License. This is a busy season for plumbers.
"Joe" seems to be at McCain rallies alot instead of working his $40,000/year job.
Is he paid by the McCain campaign? How much? Does anyone know?
...He has done it before.
Seriously.
It is part of the scheme.
Joe had other things to do today such as repairing a plumbing job that he fucked up for a customer , a few days ago! Go get'em Joe , you sorry ass excuse for a human being,much less, a man!By the way, Useless, why aren't you working?I bet your work habits(or lack of)had a bit to do with your divorce(s)!
If they had bussed my child to support that hack they'd have kidnapping charges pressed.
If not that, a hell of a lawsuit.
Using public funds to prop up a dying campaign?
There ought to be a law.
Actually, if anyone cares to note, there is one.
Book 'em, Dan-0.
Joe was at the local gay strip club doing his Jeff Gannon impersonation.
Just in case anyone is interested... this is the site of this laughable Amateur Right Wing Pundit:

His comment are pretty funny. I've never seen so many idiot Rush-sucking opinions in one place.
