Joe the Plumber now advising the GOP
By SilentPatriot Tuesday Feb 03, 2009 6:30pm
Sooo.... I guess the Republicans actually want to stay in the minority?
Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.
When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.
Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.

Oh, wait, never mind...
we won't find out about 'Joe's' inability to pay his taxes.
And how deep is 'Joe's' economic knowledge pool? I'll bet as a even as a wader, it'd be a disappointment. Should make for a very short speech, but I'll bet it'll go on long after the wisdom has run dry.
He has already taught the Republicans everything they know.
Gops - The face of Michael Steele, the soul of David Duke and the brains of Joe the plumber.
Thanks!
What do you mean "Joe's inability to pay his taxes?" Tax cuts (official or un-official) are the CORNER STONE of the Republican alternative plan. Everybody just...stop paying their taxes. Then we'll have Grover "Cookie monster" Norquists vision of small government one way or the other.
In fact, Sarah Palin says it's PATRIOTIC to hide your income in the Bahamas, and not pay any taxes. And the top rung, supply side economists in the party have an official name for this. They call it "Tax Shopping," where there is downward pressure on taxes, as different countries "compete" for your income by offering the lowest income taxes. The fact that you may LIVE in the USA while paying taxes in the Bahamas is beside the fact. Meanwhile, the fake libertarians in the party, who claim that taxes are an invasion of personal liberty are also cheering tax evasion as championing personal liberty.
If this gang ever gets back in to power, we'll be Somalia (a small government paradise) before you know it.
One of the paradoxes with this idea they have of more and more tax cuts is where is the money for the huge military machine going to come from?
That is their bread and butter after all.
Turn the armed forces into pirates and go raiding for booty to bring back?
Tax cuts applies to "their" taxes, the taxes of the rich - such as taxes on Capitol Gains and investments.
Yhey will just make it up by raising payroll taxes on the people who make $7 an hour.
More and more tax cuts for the WEALTHY. They are out to GUT the middle class remember, and THAT'S who they want to tax to death. Still, point taken, as you can't get blood out of a turnip!
where do you get your info kid?
Was it inability or was he a Democ-rat, and "forgot" to pay.
Hey Joe, Where you goin' with that DUMB in your hand?
I LOVE this guy!
What's with this guy still in the news. Come one, C&L, you've got better things to pay attention to.
I agree but what I really can't stand are the SNL clips - fluff it is - maybe it should have lead off the open thread or something but it only took me 45 seconds to read and I got a nice chuckle. "A little nonsense now and then... relished by the wisest men" - Wonka.
He seems more suited for a Village People tribute band. Nah, they were better than that.
I can hear the whole world laughing from my house.
it'd roll around like a pea in a boxcar.
It'd be like a BB rolling down a four lane highway!
If Joe's brain was gas, it wouldn't be enough to power a pissant's motorcycle halfway 'round a Cheerio!
Best news of the day!
Maybe everyone in the country should have an audit done?
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2012 Republican vice-presidential nominee. How appropriate for a party that is going down the drain .
Ha ha we now have SarahPAC. com I can see his url now Joe6Pac .com!
.... an awful lot of time away from his lucrative plumbing career. Maybe he's trying to save up to by that $250K business.
if he thinks he's going to end up rewarded with a three-way with Michelle Malkin and ... given that it is Joe, probably Bay Buchannan.
these days there must be plenty of work. consider it as creating a job as part of the stimulus plan.
Didn't the Watergate Plumbers take down the GOP? Are we getting a redux?
.
Paul Krugman... Joe the Plumber... ? Hmmm... Shit, I don't know who to listen to....
he's now the Joe the Republican Strategist.
When George was put into a Lions uniform and ran some plays in scrimmage all he managed was to lose yardage. I think that Joe can have a bigger impact on the Republicans than that!
Hot off his stint as an international journalist, the intrepid JTP has put on hold his recording career, his book authorship, and his speaking tour in order to serve as an economic adviser to Congressional Republicans. Is there *anything* this guy can't do?
Oh, that's right. Plumbing.
"Is there *anything* this guy can't do?
Oh, that's right. Plumbing."
this is what you get.
He’s a great plumber’s helper!
He really sucks!
at least he's good for something.
1. Payday is Friday.
2. Yeast works better than Draino.
3. Shit rolls downhill.
I know this as fact. My dad was a master plumber who could pour lead underwater in the good ole cast iron and okum days.
Joe's head will roll downhill as he is a piece of shit.
these guys are getting some ideas from the Democrats about not paying their taxes and they're bringing in Joe"I don't pay my taxes, but bitch about 'em"Wurzelbacher to advise them on this matter.
n/c
represents his party perfectly. An idiot that smiles upon his own idiocy with glee and openly denies reality.
Does Joe have an agent or is someone inside the republican party acting as his agent? This has happened too many times to be a mistake.
I believe the strategy is to keep someone front and center who makes Sarah Palin look brilliant in contrast.
Yep. That must be it, cause Sarah does look like a freakin genius next to Joe. And that ain't sayin much.
"I believe the strategy is to keep someone front and center who makes Sarah Palin look brilliant in contrast."
No, no, no, That CAN'T POSSIBLY be right!
(Can it???)
Damn, I think you're RIGHT!!!
after Grover Norquist shrinks the government (well, all of the Reps) down and drags them into the bathroom to drown in the tub - Joe the Plumber will come in and plunge them down the drain!
Voila! No more GOP.
would still leave the plumber Joe. Oh well we can deal with him.
LISTEN! This is great news for liberals. To bad he wont be around in 4 years. Unless we're real lucky. I say keep him and Palin in the news. Everyday....all day. Guaranteed to give us 8 years
I love that the reichwingnuts are keeping MooseBrains Palin and Joe, the fake plumber in the limelight! I'll even support them to become the candidates in 2012. Sarah, the Titwit for Presidunce and Joe as her veep.
You betcha and aw shucks!
Guess the GOP intends to remain losers. If they are taking "advice" from this illiterate moronic excuse of a human being, as they have from Palin and OxyRush, they're doomed to certain extinction - and soon.
Is it a U-PICK Site for used Car Parts?
I guess in his home town they make better FIRE CRACKERS for the 4th of July?
Shame of Background he is using!
Let's Compare the firepower!

JOE. YOU ARE FIRED!
Does anyone remember the old movie A Face in the Crowd which starred Andy Griffith as "Lonesome Rhodes"?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050371/combined
"An Arkansas hobo becomes an overnight media sensation. But as he becomes drunk with fame and power, will he ever be exposed as the fraud he has become?"
That's what this guy reminds me of.
If the repubes want advice from a "real person," then why don't they take it from someone who voted for Obama, the guy who won, instead of this joker who voted for McCain?
Shepherd Smith interviewed Terry Holt about what the GOP is doing with this guy....check it out...click on the video, where it says "He's gotten our attention."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/18324
I like it when Holt says that the Obama administration is in "meltdown." I think it's the GOP that's in "meltdown."
Also, check this quote out, on the Politico article:
“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!” Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.
Figures...idiot DeMint is advertising this joker plumber.
I just don't know. On one hand, I am really sick and tired of JTP, but, on the other hand, if the Repubes continue using him, they continue making grand fools of themselves.
Hope Jon Stewart has something about this tonight!
When your product isn't selling what do you do?
I think we're witnessing the re-branding of the Repugs.
We are the party of the common people, and look, we have nonthreatening wimmen folk too!
Same shit, different wrapper.
"Sooo.... I guess the Republicans actually want to stay in the minority?"
The frightening thing is if Obama doesn't get his shit together the door will remain cracked open to allow this filth to get it's foot back in it. The door may have hit them in the ass on the way out but...
Yeah, but duct-taping deadbeat losers like Samuel to the Republican party is the surest way to KEEP them in the trash can. The more the right-wing populist wing of the party takes over, the less chance they'll ever have of re-election. So, we should encourage as many Joe The Plumbers to be high profile in the party as possible, and hope they'll scare away anybody with even a HINT of statesmanship or intellectual curiosity.
Sooo....where can I donate money to this Sarah Palin political action committee?
You said....'cracked' Hahaaaaaaa
Apparently inviting a Republican "celebrity" was the only way to get people to show up for the meeting. Talk about a gang of demoralized losers.
DeFacto GOP leader Rush Limbaugh has designated Palin as heir apparent for the Republican Party. Next is Steele who now makes his living making up lies for the MSM to dutifully recite without question. And now Joe The Fake Plumber has been hired to act as a front man for the dog-n-pony show.
So Palin/Joe for 2012, the Know-Nothing GOP ticket?
GOP = F**KTARDS
Looking past the enigma that George w Bush and Billo are both Harvard grads, it seems to me the Republicans are openly hostile to smart people,and they really like..... dumb people. They don't like it when people use 'big words', which is why they were so enthralled with Sarah Palin's nausiating and limited vocabulary. They were proud how Bush was an inarticulate boob. I always found it repulsive the way Republicans talk down to citizens as if we're either retarded, or children. They are openly hostile to academia, want to gut funding for schools. Sean hannity and Glenn Beck both wear their idiocy like a badge of honor-
and this Joe the plummer asshat is just another dumb person they can embrace.
And this is an understatement- The man is an idiot- If he has ever read a book in his lifetime, other than Maxim magazine, I'd be shocked.
They love dumb people, because their the only ones gullible enough to listen to their shit.
Unfortunately for us, based on last years election results, 46% of American's are blithering idiots!
Is the GOP still a political party or just a bunch of clowns trying to see how ridiculous they can get before even their dim witted followers give up on them?
Homer Simpson is hired to design a new car for a big car company. Having no real education about the matter, the car company builds a monstrosity that nobody wants. Go ahead "Joe" - you solved the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, I'm sure you've got the answers to solve our country's economic crisis.
"We need more cupholders"
He even looks a bit like Homer, but not as smart.
I mean, seriously, do the Republicans really think this guy has the smarts to help them craft a winning strategy? I heard him speak during at least a couple of interviews, and he is woefully uninformed and makes a very poor presentation as a public speaker. If the Republicans want him helping them, they are in for a very long time in the political wilderness.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of jerks.
I heard he is advising people about the switch from analog to digital tv. Is he telling people to go to the government website to get a coupon to buy a converter? Because that's socialism.
.... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Republicans, the poor dears, are just so desperate.
The fact that anyone in the Repubican Party takes this guy seriously makes me shudder with terror. We can laugh all we like, but Republican motivation behind using this empty-headed publicity pawn is the same as that which brought us Sarah Palin.
Regardless of what detractors (myself included at the top of the list) think of "Joe The Plumber", he's just the kind of tool which Republican strategists know can be successfully used to mold the minds of all the Joe Six-packs and Hockey Moms out there who feel more than comfortable letting others do their thinking... assuring their continued loyalty to the Superbowl of politics... a game which Republicans never seem to mind winning at all costs - lying, cheating, deceiving, etc., etc., etc.
I strongly recommend that Democrats not take the intentional manipulation of this derelict numbnuts lightly.
I just watched his ad for Velocity store. He tells people to go to the Velocity store's website to apply for an NTIA coupon. He doesn't tell you that NTIA stands for National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a part of the US Department of Commerce. The Velocity Store simply collects the info you input into an online form and sends it to the government. Then the government sends you the coupon for the converter.
He and the blonde chick make it sound as if the Velocity Store is giving away the converters. Sure, just go to our website, fill out a form and you'll get a coupon. Aren't we great? Well, no. The store is getting you to apply for a gov'mint coupon and then the NTIA sends you the coupon and you bring it to the store and hand it over. Good old fashioned government welfare!
Someone pinch me, because I have to be having the worst nightmare of my life. SERIOUSLY??? This guy has to be a plant, agent, or some sort of fed...this just can't be happening.
PLEASE, SOMEONE SLAP ME, I HAVE TO BE DREAMING!!! OH GOD WTF IS UP WITH THIS COUNTRY????
I guess now that he's got the Israel/Palestine situation all sorted out it's on to the Republican Party. (Psssst, Sam, fyi, it's not a "party" party, although there will definitely be prostitutes...)
Larry Craig in drag. That way he can pretend he's not gay.
All those Republicans there, they'll need a plumber.
Got that shitter working yet, Joe?
Did you catch Thom Hartman's interview? I was pretty impressed with Joe T.Plumber. He knows his stuff. Thom asked him very pertinent questions like: "How did you find the plumbing in Israel?" "What would you suggest we do to protect our pipes from freezing?" "Is that a 2 1/2" HDPE pipe up your arse?"
Today the Republicans, tomorrow Fox TV Looooooook out Billo, Joe is a comin and he wants your job hahahahahahaha. Well he is used to being up to his neck in shit, perfect qualification to work for Fox
He will the vice presidential nominee in 2012.
It will billed as Palin/Plumber 2012, not his real name. And it will be an even bigger joke than we could imagine.
It's so funny how the GOP is wildly grasping to relate to middle-class Americans. Palin, plumbers, and six-packs.. no friggin clue.
While America prefers a fine Pinot Noir. I don't think I've ever seen a political party so out of touch with the People.
...is Abe Lincoln spinning in his grave. I mean, really, how much further down does the GOP have to go to hit bottom? They're serious, aren't they? They really DO believe that the likes of joe the fake plumber/country singer/writer/war correspondent/economic advisor, Sarah Palin, Rush Lamebrain are the saviors of their Party. The GOPigs just don't get it; Nobody's buying their phoney assed "populist" bullshit anymore.
Nobody is buying their bullshit anymore? God how I wish you were right! They did get 46% of the vote (idiots) last year.
And in my small town, the morons love the repukes still. They are all losing their jobs, and all they do is make fun of Obama, and bitch about the few remaining middle class people who still have jobs. "They make too much!"
And All of my idiot retard in laws are unemployed (a huge family). Even though the repukes have f**ked them royally, (with the exception of one brother-in-law), All they do is bitch about unions and democrats.
There is still a whole lotta stupid out there. And as long as there is stupid, you will find republican's.
Inre to idiot in-laws and towns full of small-minded republican boot lickers:
Last year I worked in BOTH Sterling, VA and Kansas City, KS for many weeks. Most of the people I worked with were republicans; it was awful.
I had to put up with put-downs about Obama and republican talking points galore.
Oh, how I wish I could see their faces now!
Well, actually, NOT.
P.S My brother in-law is a died-in-the-wool-republican as are his entire family. NONE of them can provide ANY solid arguments to bolster their claims of GOP "superiority" or to counter the Democratic approach to things; all they do when you ask them about an issue is bring up their tired old talking points or start yipe-ing about "Obama the Socialist!"
What I simply and honestly DO NOT UNDERSTAND is their thoroughly BLIND LOYALTY to the GOP no matter WHAT, and that's 27% of the American electorate!!
Of Couree!! Another lying, big-mouthed, know-it-all, ignorant, white male.
WHY am I NOT surprised?
And they don't understand why they lost . . . .
*
I can't stop laughing
Doesnt he just repeat what he thinks people like him say? In other words, how much of an advisor is he when all he does is advise the GOP to do what he heard on Rush's show that day?
Its not like Rush isnt already the party spokesman....
... that Nixon had used up all the plumbers.
Nixon plumber who went to prison tells story

I have lost faith in getting ahead by working hard and being honest. This guy will eventually make it to that imaginary $250,000 income he wasn't really making. And how?
The whole of America should be ashamed.
Buy selling himself on the right-wing talk show circuit.
I wonder how much he got for that appearance at the Conservative Working Group? At least $5000. Given the amount they pay neo-fascist Rudy Giuliani, Joe wold be a total idiot if he went there for free...
Great, Joe the Non-Plumber, the guy who doesn't pay his taxes and opportunist extraordinaire. How low will the GOP/right wingers go? Maybe Joe and Sarah can lead the GOP out of the wilderness and right off the cliff, as they become nothing more than a sick joke.
This is great! here we have a pack of fools asking a bigger fool for advice.
This is hillarious.
I guess these guys don't understand what you have to know to be a plumber?
1. Shit flows down hill and 2. pay day if friday.
You just passed your plumbing licsence test!
Joe doesn't have a licsense. Couldn't pass the test!
This guy is a goddamn moron. What are they thinking?
"This guy is a goddamn moron. What are they thinking?"
Who cares as long as they KEEP thinking it!
The GOP leadership, being well educated, such as Harvard, are playing the same strategy that got Saint Reagan selected: you are smarter than the President.
The GOP have statistical proof that white-trash and other 'conservative' middle class voters actually like having a president that makes themselves feel superior. Acting-President Reagan was such a smashing success at smashing everything that made America great, that they repeated that plan with Acting-President Bush.
Bush was far more wildly successful at fulfilling the GOP's long term goal than they had ever hoped. So the smart cookies that run the Republican Party - smart, educated brainiacs, all - have decided that Dumb is the way to go, so we'll have Palin/Wurzelbacher in 2012.
In case you haven't heard, the GOP's long-term plan for America is to turn it into a impoverished 3rd-world dictatorship with a single-party, just like North Korea and China. Rush Limbaugh has said exactly that on many occasions!
Hi, in Italy, if someone interested, he is considered a smart man.
But what Italians are you talking about? Yikes! Do they have the Capabilities to read? Or are there a lot of Italian Rednecks who date their sisters?
(I love Italy, Please don't Insult such a wonderful Country)
Smooch Nudge Wink
yes, we read!
I was just a comment on the plumber.
Thanks for what you said of my country which is the same that I have for the United States
Luciano, no Joe is NOT intelligent, just do a web search on him and start reading! He is a hypocrite and a liar, and is NOT EVEN A REAL PLUMBER!
This show's how truly desperate and disorganized the GOP truly is...
Grasping at straws now...
I. LOVE. IT!
when will the news(?) ask joes wife what she thinks of her dead beat X. now that he might be getting money, he can pay his child support.
This "plumber" is so handy with leaks
No matter how much he shakes or how much he dance
The last drop always falls in his pants.
Even though he'd benefit from it.....oh, wait, he's now getting wingnut welfare.
Well, that probably is a better deal for him. Ride that welfare train, Joe the Welfare Queen.
sure, he has solved many problems
Well, that's Joe all over again, except he's gonna dip his bald head in oil and rub it all over ViagraRush...
Perhaps the GOP just needs help getting ready for the conversion to digital TV!
The first thing he told the GOP. Is the name of his Hair stylist.
With Palin and Joe the Plummer becoming the new poster child for the
GOP.2010 should turn out to be a good year for the Dems. GOP=RIP In a political sense anyway.
with no knowledge, no experience, and possessing only the knowledge that shit does indeed roll downhill, this guy is qualified for a RNC position.
NOTE: The next RNC convention at Applebee's in Larry Craig's Idaho, headlining the Village People with Liberace, Joe the Plumber on Skinflute.
all my thoughts and imagination of who makes up the 23% who support W no matter what he did. This is the poster child for all the reichwing talk shows, FAUX Noise, and the GOP. He is great along with that woman from AK. They are what makes up the rethuglican base. The leaders can steal these suckers blind and they will like it.
This is AWESOME. Fuggin' AWESOME. I love it. Awesome. Hahaaa I can't stand it. Your killin' me. You CAN NOT make this stuff up.
Joe is certainly capable of leading Reslugs with more ignorance, stupity and bigotry.
Here comes Sara,Joe, and Rush.
They know how to run this country. Killing wolves from helicopters, not paying traffic fines and being addicted to pain killers.
Oh, joy..we are doomed!!
You mean to tell me...
Rush Limpmaw, Joe the "Plumber", and Sarah Palin AKA Caribou Barbie are mainstays of the GOP???
The Old Milwaukees of political light! Oh, it doesn't get any better than this!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...can't we just please ignore this asshole? He's had his 15 minutes and all you do by carrying this crap is make sure he is making money for being a know-nothing idiot.
You are helping to establish him as some kind of legitimate right winger expert ala Al Coulter.
I really don't give a shit about him or anything he has to say. Just make him go away please.
This guy is so not a representative of plumbers, or Joe the anythings. Why hasn't Sesame Street sued this moron for copy right infringement? Joe the dick head......
The William Hung of the GOP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcc8dTqflh8
I got it, I freakin' got it.
Joe The Plumm and James Gannon/Guckert(that gay hooker/reporter dude who so much loved Bush and Ari Flescher and Melman and....do I need to go on?). I think these two are brothers, both kidnapped by that republican child molesting cabal (remeber that stuff, this is no joke....who's got the link) and then like, seprated at a young age. Only to be 'activited' now, in time of reichwing dire need.
Hell yeah, awesome. There's a story for ya'. I live in LA, I'm starting work on the script as soon as I hit send.
"Joe" the "Plumber" has the Republicans' full attention. Well you know what they say about flies and sh*t...
We know Joe W. very well, and we know that Joe loves nothing better then a good laugh, especially at himself! See this site setup by Friends of Joe the Plumber for a real laugh!

I make salsa with one can of diced green peppers and one can of Jalapeno peppers, a whole onion, Cilantro, garlic and a large can of petite diced tomatoes. The other day I got mixed up and bought a can of diced Habanero peppers instead of the Jalapenos and made up the salsa. Later that day I got a big bag of corn chips, some iced tea and a book and sat down for a read. About five minutes into it I got a huge pile of salsa balance on a chip and shoved it into my face. I was just starting to swallow when the usual Scoville unit rate started to go way past the point I was use to. It was so painful to do but I couldn’t stop putting this stuff in my mouth, it tasted so good. I was locked between pleasure and pain in a way I could only imagine before.
Joe the plumber isn’t anything at all like that.
This weekend I’m going to try some Scotch Bonnets.
