Joe the Plumber to become war correspondent

[Etienne]

Why is that guy still in the news?

WHY WAS THAT GUY EVER IN THE NEWS?

[August]

I guess that given the current political and economic climate he figures that starting a small business might not be a wise move.

I mean look at it from his point of view. For the ENORMOUS gaffe of asking a candidate an ordinary voter type question, he unknowingly subjects himself to the being investigated by party paid lawyers and media investigators, then having his entire life laid bare, warts and all, on the curel alter of world wide news and internet so *******s can make disparaging comments and jokes about him.

He might as well just roll with it.

[Zachstar]

Um what?

#1 Asking the question did not get him the attention. Him making himself the attention of the candidates is.

#2 He was not forced to join McCain's campaign. And was too weasel to get out when he supposedly had issues.

He is slime.

No, I think it's pretty obvious who the real slime is here and it's not him.

[Zachstar]

Obama?

Why don't you take a look at the words Joe had to say about the McCain campaign after the election. About how he supposedly wanted to get off the bus.

He turned into an embarrassment to the McCain campaign and had to rub it in afterwards. And look what happened as soon as the news cameras starting going to Gaza instead of his house.

But go ahead. Idolize a nonlicenced plumber as some kind of symbol of America.

Well that's the whole point Zachstar. I do not idolize him.

The only symbol that Joe the Plumber represents is that of an average human being and fellow citizen, no more no less, but unlike you and the rest of your liberal elitist ilk, I don't feel inclined to repeatedly mock an innocent person in some kind of wierd Pavlovian attack dog response for daring to ask your candidate what should not have been such an embarrassing question.

No one cares about what he asked Obama, Captain mis-characterization. His name is not Joe, he's not a plumber, and he walked around, as a former recipient of welfare who hasn't paid some taxes no less, calling Obama a socialist, saying he will be the death of Isreal, went on the frikkin campiagn trial with McCain etc, etc, etc. Then, he hired a publicist. Why? To PUT HIMSELF IN THE PUBLIC EYE. How many "average human beings and fellow citizens" do you know with publicity agents, record deals and national media attention, August? He wants the celebrity, therefore he can recieve the scrutiny a celebrity recieves. And who loves such a man? Your conservative, finger pointing "ilk". He was the attack dog, August. In the end, the only people Joe embarresed is himself, McCain, and right this minute, you.

Did you stop to ask yourself why you know so much about the man to begin with?

In any case, funny what brings out the left's true colors. He's a "former recipient of welfare", you say. Isn't the whole freakin' point of welfare to get the recipients off of it? People on your side of the aisle always claim to be wanting to help those people ... now you belittle them for improving themselves.

Oh, and considering how keen you are on spelling errors in an internet forum, you should spell check "embarresed".

He won't get it Mike...

[Enigma]

Yeah, I won't get it Mike. Only the genius among us like you and August get highly technical information like a forum post.

Elitist? Hmmm...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You are aware that you do not need a license if you are employed by a licensed plumber, yes?

I find it interesting and a sad example of American "Greatness and Tolerance" that people are judged and belittled by how they make a living.

Thanks to the liberal media and the smear campaigns against him from the leftist whackos, he was out of job after he met Obama.

Just in case, if you should have forgotten..
People like him, like it or not and licensed or not, are the reason that you are not drowning in your own ****.

Sigh...

Guess you just have to laugh....

Everybody loves to laugh..

Some people go from Plumbing to Journalism..
others from testing restaurants (or whatever) to presidency

Whatever floats their boat and pays the bills.

On one hand, I had a good snicker on the story, on the other, I feel pitty for him.

And you're aware that you've swallowed this "everyman, Joe the plumber" shtick hook, line and sinker? He's a tool, a piece of political propaganda. It's an act, and his spotlight grabbing has proven that he's more interested in himself than being a representative of the working class.
