Joe the Useful Idiot!!
Joe the Republican Congressman. Joe the Pulitzer Prize winning NYT Best Selling Author. Joe the CMA Breakout Artist of the Year/Grammy Award Winning/Country Crooner.
Since gaining his 15 minutes of fame, Wurzelbacher formed a partnership with spokesman Jim Della Croce, country singer Aaron Tippin and booking agent Bobby Roberts.
“It’s not an issue of building celebrity. The notoriety is really what needs to be managed,” said Della Croce.
The spokesman also floated the possibility of future book deals and corporate sponsorship.
“We’ll make sense of all that after the election. He still plans on finishing his master plumber certificate,” Della Croce added.
Tippin, a GOP campaigner and platinum crooner whose “Drill Here, Drill Now” song pushes for tapping America’s oil reserves, told the Daily News that Wurzelbacher could make it big.
“I think Joe’s got a future just asking questions for the common man, without it being all shined up with great big words,” Tippin said.
Joe the Plumber is now Joe the Foreign Policy Advisor??
How did Joe the Plumber begin dispensing foreign policy advice?
Simple. There was a “Joe the Plumber” bus tour yesterday in Ohio. Joe the Plumber (aka Sam Wurzelbacher) teamed up with Congressman Rob Portman and they went to five different towns in Ohio stumping for McCain.
On the first leg of the five-town “Joe the Plumber World Invasion” tour, Wurzelbacher ran into a supporter who asked Joe if he believed, “a vote for Barack Obama means death to Israel.”
“I’ll go ahead and agree with you on that,” he said.
This of course made news. Wurzelbacher isn’t an official spokesman for the McCain campaign, but in stumping for McCain he’s kind of one.
Shepherd Smith over at Fox News had Wurzelbacher on the air after he made the ominous comment. A very clumsy exchange ensued with Wurzelbacher seeming to be stumped with his own statement, putting up, at one point, the equivalent of a white flag.
“Listen, you don’t want my opinion on foreign policy. I know just enough probably to be dangerous,” he said.
So Wurzelbacher gave it a shot. It’s not easy to ad-lib about foreign policy on the campaign trail. The McCain team even backed him up a bit by emailing a supportive statement to Fox News:
“While he’s clearly his own man, so far Joe has offered some penetrating and clear analysis that cuts to the core of many of the concerns that people have.”
Here’s a thought, Joe the Israeli Prime Minister!! He’d be the best Prime Minister evah!!
“SINCE EVERYONE KNOWS THE JEWS AIN’T TOO HANDY, I COULD MAKE AT LEAST $250K OVER THERE, JUST SHOWIN ‘EM HOW TO JIGGLE THE TOILET HANDLE.”

This awesome, and the Republican’s ideal of the American dream…Anybody can be anything, regardless of intelligence or qualifications, they just have to want it enough and speak loud enough.

I say he’s a plant, just not as decorative as a rhododendron. For that matter, he’s not much smarter than a rhododendron either. In short, he’s a blooming idiot.

The dumbing down of a campaign.. When a FOX news reporter is rolling his eyes at Joe the Plumber you know that you’ve hit rock bottom. I would think that McCain would be embarrassed about the campaign he’s been running.

I suspect dementia keeps Johnny from being embarrassed at his own public bowel movements.
