All meat products have an expiration date …
…not that I’m condoning the prospect that an errant slug might catch him in the back of that enormous naked cranium, mind you.
Perhaps he’ll step on a landmine…
I’ve already made the ‘landmine clearing’ joke elsewhere…
It still brings a special light to my eyes when I read it. Very good chuckle it was. Thank you again.
Congratulations.
Here’s your box of burnt plumbing supplies.
We couldn’t be that lucky…the most we could hope for would be a bite in the ass from a border patrol dog.
It would make an interesting RIP LOL.
Here lies Joe the Plumber…
His efforts at reporting
only made him seem dumber…
Went off to Gaza
To report on a war…
The effort of a pathetic
Attention grabbing whore.
Off to a field he went to wander…
His next try at fame
He wanted to ponder.
With thoughts of glory
running through his head…
Failed to head the minefield sign…
And now he is dead.
Without a penis…
Well, this is funny, but JtP isn’t a person I wish was dead. Just ignored and pathetic.
Agreed…I was just envisioning an RIP LOL for the above comments…
I know. I loved it!
You don’t need to feel animosity toward a person to enjoy a well-deserved and apropos epitaph.
Same here. He’s an average loser, just one who managed to steal the spotlight.
I wouldn’t call him an average loser: he’s an extra-special loser. Most of us losers don’t have publicists.
I take it back – he’s an average loser, with a publicist… which, I guess, makes him a Special Loser. So you’re right.
“that enormous naked cranium”
`
*pictures single lonely brain cell rattling around in JTP’s head like a BB in a boxcar*
^an atrophied BB
I stand corrected.
The detail was an embellishment, not a correction.
I just like to shine up the pretty stuff!
2nd
So F*cking what! Seriously!
*sprays with mace*
Pink mace?
Of course.
*invents pink GLITTER mace*
*eyes glaze over*
Shiny!
Get the cattle prod!!!
Here it is! *helpful*
Oh dear lord…please don’t tell me he’s still fighting for attention. Or is this just an outdated lol?
No, he is actually in Israel ‘reporting’ on the Gaza crisis.
I can’t *wait* to hear his insightful descriptions.
Look out, Michael Ware: Joe is 30 miles away, and closing in fast!
“I don’t think journalists should be anywhere allowed war (sic). I mean, you guys report where our troops are at. You report what’s happening day to day. You make a big deal out of it. I think it’s asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II when you’d go to the theater and you’d see your troops on, you know, the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for them. Now everyone’s got an opinion and wants to downer-and down soldiers. You know, American soldiers or Israeli soldiers.”
*headdesk*
Ow… But it hurts less than reading that. *headdesk* Ow…
Follow link (if you can stand it) for his mindbogglingly stupid comment a la, “If anybody bothers ME, I’m going to kick their ass!”
So… are we running a book to how long it is before we see him having his head hacked off on the internet? Possibly by his film crew…
I’m not that lucky. He’ll probably get elected in 2016.
“are we running a book to how long it is before we see him having his head hacked off on the internet?”
`
I’ll put two bucks down on Valentine’s Day (I like irony).
It’s the image of his film crew doing it that really makes that awesome.
D:
Was that even English?!
I think he must have done to the Sarah Palin Institute of talkin’
Hey now. My oldest daughter is studying nursing at the University of Idaho.
Don’t blame the institution …
If she comes home saying “Ya betcha,” you’ll know what
to do. You have the comfort of your other children…
But … but … I say ya betcha!
All the time.
Sad face.
So long as you say it like someone with an IQ higher than your pulse rate (as in the female lead in “Fargo”), then it’s OK by me!
I am very Frances McDormandish.
Thanks.
And I say “Howdy,” but only when I think
it will get me out of trouble.
Can you imagine the News Anchor after that report?
Uggggghhh…thanks Joe…scotchy-scotch-scotch…
Wow. Just…wow.
So to sum up his position: “Don’t ask questions, just go with what the government tells you! USA! USA!”
Translation: I think it’s bad form for war correspondents to, like, you know, actually report on a war… [which begs the question of exactly what he's doing there, but I digress]… I think it’s better if people watch fictitious representations of war in the movie theaters, so they can cheer with no idea of what a war actually involves. USA! USA!!
Didn’t they do that in Orwell’s 1984? But I think it was on the tv, not the movies, but people had to watch it. It’s been too long since I’ve read it.
But, but… we’ve ALWAYS been friends with Eurasia!
But, but… we’ve ALWAYS been friends with Eurasia!
In short, Joe doesn’t really want to be an American, he just likes waving the flag and getting attention.
This little speech of his is a great illustration of how the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge, the Soviets, the Red Chinese, and really every bad totalitarian government in recent history got its early support.
America is, in fact, way better than “Joe”. He is exactly what America was meant to overcome.
“America is, in fact, way better than “Joe”. He is exactly what America was meant to overcome.”
*awe-stricken applause*
Well said, Sir!
Thank you.
Just stating what should be obvious to anyone who cares enough about the U.S. to be honest about these things.
Sort of the US version of the Iraqi ‘Information Officer’
Baghdad Bob!
Jabaliya Joe!
…
Sweat jesus on a pogo stick.
Sweet, even. Doh.
Semantics fail win!
Well, if he stays on the pogo stick long enough, I imagine he’d break a sweat, so it works either way.
*has idea for marketing scam*
“Sweatin’ with Jeebus”
Order now! Operators are standing by!
True, but then he’d be ’sweaty’ Jesus.
…
And that’s really not a mental image I want in my banks, to be honest.
Hmm. Realistically, in that part of the world, he probably was sweaty Jesus a lot of the year. But I get what you mean.
and Carpenters develop a manly sweat… you should have seen Karen when she came off stage..
Sorry, I couldn’t see her. She was standing sideways.
OUCH!.. WIN!
Yeah, after I posted that I was worried I’d get flamed by CareTrolls, but so far so good!
Oh, god help me, I loled. Nice one.
You’re going to hell
Have a rare Fester Lol to help you on your way…
LMAO!! I was wondering why that woman
always wears that unusual brooch…
It was too long a caption to enter here… as you can see.
that is one of the sickest, most repugnant things i’ve ever seen. i’d rip my eyeballs out, but i’m too busy lol-ing. thank you uncle fester for making my pagan soul even more twisted.
Excerpt from his upcoming book.
“I don’t think authors should be allowed anywhere near paper. I mean, you guys write on paper. Your words go in a book. You make a big deal out of it. I think it’s asinine. You know, I liked back in World War I and World War II when you’d read a book and everyone would be real excited and happy for them. Now everyone’s got and opinion and wants to downer-and-down books. You know, American authors and Israeli authors. ”
*not an actual book….I hope you knew that.
Joe the Reporter – He probably learned everything he knows about being a news anchor from Kent Brockman.
How DARE you besmirch the best newsman on the Fox network…
I beg to differ: Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa puts him to shame!
Oops. Wrong link.
She’s better than KEnt? No. Nononononononono
I would love her long time. Sexy piece of ink…
Huh, I wonder how Sean Hannity’s going to get his talking points to him all the way in Gaza.
Sean can just call Sarah Palin, who can do hand signals to Joe from
Alaska…
and by “reporting” we mean being an attention-whoring, self-serving and otherwise moronic douche-nozzle…
Sorry, no. He went to Israel as a War correspondant and reported that reporters should not report on wars…and if I could just use the word “report” at least one more time…
*headdesk* No way. Seriously?
-
If you saw something fly out the window just now, I think it was the last bit of my faith in American politics. I’ll go out and scrape it up later.
*hugs Kuro*
Welcome to the tribe, dear…
Yet another job he’s unqualified for…
If only that would stop him…
Hey, Obama’s election proved you can do whatever job you want with no prior experience in that field.
*ducks back under flame shield*
Still unaware of any President that ever took office having had any experience at all being President…
Thank you…I didn’t want to have to state the obvious to Capt. Obvious
except for Grover Cleveland… he took office the second time after already having been president…
D’oh!!! I knew that. Really I did.
And I can’t help it – I grin like a loon every time I see these two words together: “President Grover…”
*Hello everybodeeeeeeeee*
…and Vice President Snufaluffagus, who is currently
in an undisclosed location.
I, Grover, am the president at the end of this book!
I am so embarrassed.
Why do I know where that’s from? Sigh.
Because it’s been among a lot of people’s favorite children’s books for well over 30 years (linky)?
:^D
Yeah but they all had more experience than Obama, either haveing served FULL TERMS as congressmen, or prior executive experience as Governors, or Military experience like Washington, Grant and Eisenhower.
Weeeeeeeeeelll okay. Abe Lincoln was a one-term Congressman though. But you are right. I happen to think Obama’s more qualified than a lot of the people that ran this time though.
Yeah, Bush’s prior “experience” has really served the country well.
oh .. and Reaganomics really worked wonders too hey?
Cheney had loads of experience…
Cheney has loads of sumpin’.
And Clinton was getting loads of a little sumpin’ sumpin’…
oh, wait…
Nope…he was not geting them, he was shooting them
Also, I said in that field, not in that job…
I believe Barack Obama was a Senator… not a congressman. You bring shame on the name of Captain.
*shakes head shamefully*
Congress is bicameral. Jesus.
I thought a bicameral was a two-humped mammal found in arid climates…
…awful
Actually, I think it’s a cameral that “goes both ways.”
I thought a bicameral had two lenses.
Oh… duh.
*blushes*
But he said served full terms as a congressman, not as a senator. So yes, it is bicameral, however, if he said he served full terms in CONGRESS rather than as CONGRESSMAN I could see your outrageous correction as fully correct. As such, I take back the blushes.
Taker-backer! *razzberry*
Jesus is a bicameral?
Well, there was that naked youth in the garden of Gethsemane…
“He went to Israel as a War correspondant and reported that reporters should not report on wars…and if I could just use the word “report” at least one more time…”
`
Then the Department of Redundancy Department would present him with a presentation which would be presented as long as he was present.
what is this a pic of in the first place?
Meathead Joe.
His on-the-spot, media whoring news coverage of the war in Gaza! Where he reports that the media shouldn’t be reporting about this!
I lol’d.
Not-Joe the Not-Plumber who is now Not-Joe the Not-News Not-Correspondent in Gaza for the Pump Out Lies and Propaganda News Network.
i was actually referring to the burning bush in the background…
It’s a scientific fact: media whores are the leading cause of burning bushes.
damn that moses! all he wanted was a spread in vanity fair…
So, first he was not a plumber, and now he’s not a correspondent… Makes you wonder what he’ll not be next: A ballerina? A brain surgeon?
Well he is like a barbie doll.
He can do anything!-as long as it gets him more attention.
The “Sham-Wow” guy. Yup.
Is that the always yelling guy on those commercials?
Click my name for blowhard win-nery!
^ Keep the volume low: Inappropriate work/child language included!!!! ^
Teh awsum, you has it.
Nah, that’s Billy Mays. The ShamWow guy
is that creepy looking guy with the headset on.
Vince!
*sigh*…I tried to post this earlier, but PK was link-hungry and ate it. The ShamWow guy is creepy Vince.
Heh. Eventually, PK spits everything out.
Poster format fail. Just put it as a caption. I mean, the guy is a total tool, but this isn’t that funny. Now, if he got shot in the groin, severing his penis, and a starving dog ran off with it, THAT would be funny. The fact that he thinks anyone cares what he has to say, that is funny too. He’s just another sad sack loser who tried to barter his fifteen minutes of fame into a career and failed.
Yeah, this lol just serves to give the douche even more attention.
Douche + burning bush = full of win!
Please dear God let it be so. This guy’s distinction is that he’s the ultimate culmination of white-bread-and-Cheez-Whiz popular culture and utterly meaningless fame, as referenced in the fifteen minutes quote. He has no personality, negative intellect, is not remotely interesting, and doesn’t even have a legitimate career to speak for his efforts to succeed in the working class. He’s not even interesting to look at. Never has there been anyone who so fully represented what was wrong with our culture. Not even his deity George W. Bush.
Oh lord…what if he finds Paris Hilton and they breed ? Their children will be the apex of fame without cause!
You mean they’d give birth to Ryan Seacrest?
as much as I love a good seacrest bash, at least he has a legitimate job, unlike paris or joe. Last i checked he had like 7 jobs.
*bows head in shame*
It’s okay mothergoose. I’m sure it was just the horror of trying to think what demonspawn such an act would produce that caused you to have a lapse in brain function a moment.
*sniffles*
Thanks…the more I think about it, the darker the abyss, the screams, the horror…oh, the horror…
shh shh it’s okay, have a muffin
And rest secure in the knowledge that it is BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Blago to mate with Donald Trump.
But not for the wookies residing on their heads …
Gaaahh! It would be like that show with the Tribbles!
Their offspring (offal?) would be too much threat to their media whorery, so, as in the animal kingdom, they’d promptly be eaten at birth.
Better that than have the rest of us read in Us magazine about whatever name they’d picked out for it.
I hate celebrity baby names.
Paris Plumber?
Win.
Sadly, we’d probably never know for sure.
Since any offpring (offal?) would be a threat to their media whorery, they would, as is the case in the animal kingdom, be promptly eaten at birth.
Worse yet, what if he finds Audrina Partridge? Or Elizabeth Hasselbeck?
So this is what he gets for asking The Chosen One a question that embarrasses him- exhiled and hated by the left forever.
I’d disagree. He’s been exiled and hated based on his own merits.
But he’s only hated by the left, which kinda says he does have merit.
Neither left nor right particularly, and “Joe” gets an eyeroll from me. I didn’t have a problem with him at first, and actually thought he was somewhat crucified for asking a question….but then he turned into a bit of a famewhore.
Disagree again. The right has abandonded him like a prom-night newborn.
If that’s true why does he have a job doing what he’s doing? He didn’t pay for himself to go be a war correspondent…
Dry sense of humour on the part of the recruiter?
Maybe he was signed to a contract during all the ‘pro-Mike’ hysteria and now they’re stuck with him…
“Mike”> I have no idea who “Mike” is… I meant ‘Joe’… ah well, early onset senility is always a possibility :¬>
I was wondering who Mike was too… Sam would have made sense since Samuel is his actual first name…
But seriously i’ve seen quite a bit of stuff about him on conservative sites, I don’t think you can make the call that they ALL abandoned him with any truthiness
Not that YOU said he had Fester, that was for Literal up there.
Far as I’m concerned, they can stake him out on a fire ant hill and sell it to pat-to-view
pat to view? But I don’t wanna stroke off a tech!
Let him with impeccable typing cast the first stone…
I’m not pecking a techie either!
You said “field” earlier and others interpreted it as “job”; I said “the right” and you interpreted “all righties.”
Generalizing, like s**t, death and taxes, happens. Asi es la vida.
I hate that ‘his name isn’t even Joe, it’s Samuel!’ crap that everyone was spewing for a while (not you, just in general). My brother was Joseph David, hated his first name, had ALWAYS gone by his second. He eventually dropped the first name legally, but having it didn’t change the fact that his name is DAVID

Sorry, went a little troll b there. But it irritates me
You should troll more often… it’s quite bracing…
Um……thanks?
Just to creep you out… almost ‘hot’ *waggles eyebrows, then licks one*
*adds Lurex and handcuffs to shopping list*
*adds Lurex and handcuffs to shopping list*
Hey!
don’t forget ‘butter’
… *twitch*
You’re invited too, hot stuff…
No no, I’m good. Have fun. Just make sure to have extra cuff keys and safety shears for the rope. *flees*
Yes, from what I hear it can be embarrassing to have to take your partner to the fire station to get the cuffs cut off.
“Mike”> I have no idea who “Mike” is… I meant ‘Joe’
`
I think you might be thinking of a right-wing parrot with whom you’ve sparred in another thread. Didn’t he ask you if you were a plumber from the Midwest, or something?
there wasn’t enough K’s in that job
Pajamas Media? AYFKM?
Now that’s a powerhouse of the MSM world.
Legitimate unbiased medium FAIL!
BWAHAHAHAHA … sniff.
[LINK]
Sure there’s still some on the right that like him, but in general many in the right have also dumped him. Anyway isn’t it some website or something sending him out there, republicans in pajamas or something. He may very well have paid a bit to get out there
Fine, so Sam-Joe the Walking Consumer Protection Complaint hasn’t been abandoned by the entire political spectrum. The wingnut dead-enders who still think Shrub was a good and successful president still like the guy.
Now, will you and the rest of said dead-enders kindly choose a state to move to en masse and SECEDE already?!
So we can bomb and conquer you…
What? I can’t be the only person think this!
No… although I thought more ‘then we can build a fence round it’
Then bomb it at least? *big hopeful puppy dog eyes*
Oh, now DWN, whatever would you do without trolls and/or conservatives to target?
You’d die of boredom inside of a week.
I would spend energy on something constructive?
tsk, tsk
*Colbertian wag of the finger*
It is one of the few things I hold out hope for. That maybe when I run out of things to slack on, I will actually do something productive……….
I was thinking ‘watch them fight each other for food…’ The Republicans seem to be terribly Darwinan at their core, so let them live the ‘dream’…
*pictures Rush, Newt Gingrich, and Pat Buchanan rasslin’ over a discarded chicken wing*
*dies*
a sh*t moat would be more appropriate, i think.
“The right has abandonded him like a prom-night newborn.”
*sings*: I’m just a prom night dumpster baby…
[LINK] for those who want to sing along…
And what would that be? That he wasn’t a “Community organizer”? or because he forgot to pay his taxes? If he were a failed radio announcer on Air America you’d love him- admit it!
Like you seem to embrace bitter and bile filled radio presenters who pull in favours to get off drugs convictions with probation? That sort of vibe?
Hmmm?
Not so much. And I didn’t say I hated him, I called him a meathead.
I’m a firm believer in the adage “‘Tis better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
I mean, c’mon now, what a crock:
He spouts:
“I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan’s going to tax me more, isn’t it?”
And in another exhalation:
“[I am] the most famous unemployed person in America.” He also states, “I was and still am flat broke.”
F-O-O-L.
also a fake, a mountbank and a cur…
“I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. ”
`
I am Elmer J. Fudd, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht.
Boy, just every single word of this response fails.
Sam Wurzelbacher came forth representing himself as a plumber, which he isn’t, and as being interested in becoming an independent businessman, which he wasn’t, and as potentially having to pay more in taxes if he did take over that business, which he definitely wouldn’t have, unless he was going to be the most successful plumbing contractor ever in the history of the United States, and then only 2 percent higher taxes than he would have been paying had he actually been a real plumbing contractor right at that moment. He also represented himself as being named Joe, which he isn’t.
“Community organizers” throughout history have included such people as Mahatma Gandhi, Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King. Somehow in your world an unlicensed plumber who “forgot” to pay his taxes is better than a community organizer? Funny world you live in.
And Senator Franken graduated cum laude from Harvard, and his radio show was no failure; he left it to run successfully for the Senate. Sam the Not-Plumber couldn’t even pass the plumbing license test.
Air America was not a failure because it was liberal talk radio, it was merely mismanaged. There are plenty of liberal talk shows on the air all over the country.
You, however, fail.
Wasn’t it Joe?
Nope, not Joe. Sam. Sam the plumber just doesn’t sound as catchy, so they called him Joe.
Yeah, but that part actually WASN’T his fault.
It was, however, the beginning of a domino-like lie festival, of which he is currently reaping the benefits.
And epically sucking, from what I hear.

No wonder no one can remember the sad babbling man’s name…
Wow Beth, must of touched a nerve… either that or this guy is REALLY bored.
Either that, or Beth is an uninformed idiot and we enjoy demolishing uninformed idiots here. Like shooting retarded fish in a barrel full of dumb, it’s easy AND fun!
I’d go with that assessment, Seth, m’dear!
I thought it was a rather elegant demolishing of the inane rantings of a cliche spouting moron…
Why can’t it be both?
“Air America was not a failure because it was liberal talk radio, it was merely mismanaged. There are plenty of liberal talk shows on the air all over the country.”
Mismanaged, yes. “Was”, no. It is still a growing business.
D’oh again! You’re right of course. Although for me, they sure don’t show the promise and star power they had when they first came outta the box. What they seem to have is a bunch of already-established hosts doing the shows they’ve been doing for years now. Geez, they even dumped the Thom Hartmann show; good thing my local station still carries it. Thankfully they also got rid of that GODAWFUL Lionel. Euucccch, that guy.
Thom is still on AA. Glad they lost Lionel. Now, if I can just get Randi Rhodes off our local station, I’ll be pretty happy.
1) No one has suggested that community organizer is the only noble calling, though your side seems to think there’s something wrong with it.
2) Our new Sec. of Treasury candidate didn’t forget to pay taxes, his preparer told him he wasn’t required to pay them.
3) Franken left his show, after 3 years of being carried on over 100 stations, to pursue a career in politics. No visible failure.
Facts: you need them.
*asking rhetorically*
Has anyone ever seen Beth and Hell Hath No Fury in the same place at the same time?
More to the point, would anyone care if it was set on fire when they were?
LOL!!
Three demerits for summoning. You know better, don’t you?
Anyway, I don’t think HHFN was ever political. (and certainly not conservative)
Sorry, “HHNF”. (I got mixed up with TTFN)
Random thought: You know what I’d like to see? A community organizer with storage boxes, a logical plan, and a labelmaker. My community (and my house in particular) could stand a little organization.
**Professional** organizers make fricking millions. And worth every penny of it.
Not at all: He wh0red his way there, voluntarily. This is what happens when the Republicans no longer find use for someone.
By the left?
Still with the messiah bull droppings… is that all you have?
Obama himself made messiah jokes about himself.
“I was not born in a manger”
“I was actually born on the planet Krypton and sent here by my father, Jor-El.”
Gotta love the Al Smith Dinner.
And let me just say how sweet it is to have a president who makes Superman jokes. The rise of the dorks!
He’s on the cover of Spiderman #538
I heard that the other day. Being a bit of (well, okay, maybe more than a bit) a dork myself, I was excited.
It makes story lines like ‘Super Hero Registration’ a bit harder to run with…
Politics aside, I can never tell if the SHRA is supposed to be a take on the “Patriot Act,” or the whole “Gun Control” registration thing.
From the Dialogue in the X-Men movie and the older “Mutant Registration” and “Days of Future Past” comic storylines, it seems a lot more like the latter.
It occurs to me that the very possibility of the confusion of the issues lends credence to the suggestion that both ideas may be equally wrong.
You know, I’ve never managed to get that either… Basically, it seems to be the basic evil of legislating against the freedom of an individual, based on perceived differences…
Yes, it’s called a response to the right wing rhetoric about the views of his supporters… Like Republicans didn’t all but claim that Sarah Palin’s excrement smelt of roses and had a sherberty taste…
You’re like a parody of a right wing nutjob, you know that? Have you ever had an original thought in your life. You just parrot back what your cheerleaders tell you to say. “The chosen one?” Really?
–
See, here’s what’s happening: you aren’t very smart. You have a very out of touch mental picture of what America is, and who Americans are. You still believe we are a ‘center right’ country. But that does not fit with what you’ve seen. How can Obama and the Democrats have won in such a landslide? How could the Republican ‘good guys’ have been reduced to an irrelevant regional party? This doesn’t fit with what you believe so you have to make up a story in your head explaining it. Obviously, the left has brainwashed the good people of America! we have, in your words, ‘drunk the kool-aid.’
–
This kind of delusional thinking would be amusing if it weren’t so common among the right wing. As it is, it’s just sad to see so many people reduced to a state of brain-lock because their world view has been challenged.
Hmm two big rants against Beth now, I think this is definitely more about her touching nerves than bored leftists.
Touched a nerve? Oh, that’s a good defense. Yes, anytime someone totally demolishes your side’s argument, you can make fun of them for caring enough to demolish your side’s argument.You see, this is what we do for fun, we demolish the moronic rantings of people too stupid to understand the words that the idiot box has put in their heads.
“Touched a nerve? Oh, that’s a good defense. Yes, anytime someone totally demolishes your side’s argument, you can make fun of them for caring enough to demolish your side’s argument.”

Bullying Cadet: So, you like doing push-ups, huh?
Lisa Simpson: Is there any answer I can give that won’t result in more push-ups?
Bullying Cadet [confers briefly with his classmates, then]: No.
Everyone has a co-worker or family member like this (actually, if you only have one, you’re among the lucky minority). There is absolutely NO counterargument you can make that will not elicit the response, “Geez, I really got to you, didn’t I?” For the sake of my own sanity, I have actually, IRL, thought, “Don’t take it too seriously; remember, there is no answer you can give that won’t result in more push-ups”.
Actually, you simply point out that you know they’re very, very, stupid, and that you know they know they’re very, very stupid…
I love your insight, and plan to abscond with that idea like it’s the
last piece of cornbread on New Year’s Day (which I also did)!
Alternate tactic:
Cousin Crackhead: Why are you always mad at me? I never did anything wrong!
Me: WHAT? You chased me around the yard with a hatchet!
Cousin Crackhead: Jeez, are you still mad about THAT? You can hold a grudge forever, can’t you?
`
I rarely go home to visit.
Cousin Crackhead: Jeez, are you still mad about THAT? You can hold a grudge forever, can’t you?
Me: For someone trying to kill me in a drug induced rage? Yes, probably over several lives….
I just like listening to both sides rant. I claim no political party, yet I think that blindly electing someone who promises vague change with a chrismatic personna is stupid. Yet I don’t think the other side had anything better to offer so… what do you do? Maybe he was the best choice. Maybe we made the biggest mistake we’ve made thus far. Truly, only time will tell. But defending Joe the plumber? He is a media whore. He was sent to gaza to cover the news as a way to increase viewing. Everyone wants to see what else he’ll screw up. As for him being the embodyment of the middle class, or of average ”Joes”? Hah! I’m more of an average joe than him. I work, or did till I was laid off this week. I own a small farm, and work hard for my family.
However, that’s the basis of the current electoral system…
I know. Doesn’t mean I like it. Oh, for the good ole days, where to become leader you had to overthrow the current government and behead a few aristocrats….;)
Is an idiot parroting Hannity talking points =/= touching nerve.
Sock puppet is obvious :¬)
Oh, also, Obama’s win wasn’t a landslide victory in terms of popular vote.
In terms of electoral votes it was, and in terms of popular vote, he beat both Bush and Reagan. So there.
Gee, I wonder why he isn’t trouncing around, talking about how he
plans to spend all of his political capital…
But you are a centre right country. The furthest left any democrat goes is centre.
Er, Joe embarrassed himself and the right, not Obama.
Do you people have any idea at all how ridiculous you are?
No, they don’t…
He’s hot. I’d do him.
Not so much. And I didn’t say I hated him, I called him a meathead.
I’m a firm believer in the adage “‘Tis better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
I mean, c’mon now, what a crock:
He spouts:
“I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan’s going to tax me more, isn’t it?”
And in another exhalation:
“[I am] the most famous unemployed person in America.” He also states, “I was and still am flat broke.”
F-O-O-L.
HAH. Nesting FAIL. New here.
Quite enjoying your responses thus far. Keep it up!! = )
Tanks are hot!
Welcome to the horror show

God bless America (my bet is, if there is a higher power, “he\she” is laughing).
It’s skler actually
I like Joe.
But only slow roasted… that way you get good gravy…
Considering what Joe is full of, I don’t think I’ll be having any of that gravy.
Not an eater of chitterlings then?
Now that takes intestinal fartitude.
I miss chitterlings… and pork dripping…
If you ask for them in a butcher’s these days, they look at you like you’ve asked for weapons grade plutonium…
They’re common fair in Texas, although we call them ‘chit’lins’ here.
indeed… I think there are places in Brixton they sell them.
We here on the farm call them sausage casings. And I’m really not kidding.
Just means they are doing it old school. Waste not, want not.
Ya got that right. They’re actually a lot easier to stuff than the synthetics (at least for my hands they are). They don’t seem to tear as often, or maybe I’m just so used to old-school I can’t change my ways.
Eh, tis cleaned out. Tis organic. No worries, I prefer it myself.
Chitterlings are a lot thicker than sausage casings, and come in Pipe or Bag…
Do NOT want to know what they’re doing with those body parts instead. Do NOT.
Link behind my name…
Although ‘Joe’ would probably see it as this pic
Ultimate recycling win! I’m not that dedicated to the preservation of the earth, but to each his own.
*blows chunklets in trash can*
O_O
That took a year of my life… Stupid zombie phobia…
I have an eclectic set of images…
And I only have so many years in my life…
Then you’ll like the current Fester Lol… behind the name
“But only slow roasted…”
`
Well, he’s too fatty to fry and too unimportant to bake.
15 minutes of FAIL.
He had a whole fifteen minutes?
This is a self-contadicting LOL.
If the “15 minutes” are over… the LOL is meaningless.
Yes, this LOL is somewhat ironic actually…the media won’t let him leave his 15 minutes of fame/infamy.
God, isn’t this guy dead yet?
Someone should staple a UN flag to his head, that’d get the pricks in the IDF shelling him quickly enough
TOOOOO SOOOOOOOOON!!11!! (no seriously, I LOLed)
It would get the pricks in Hamas trying to set up mortars on his head, first.
Sigh, they really believe this stuff in America, don’t they?
You know that UN school they blew up, which the Hamas militants were “Hiding behind civilians” in? Let me guess you saw all over the news the Mark Regev and co holding it aloft as an example of Hamas being responsible for the children getting blown up by Israeli rockets, right? You know, when they even named the militants who had been killed in the school? Did their mumbled retraction later when they admitted they were wrong get as much airtime? Didn’t think so.
Where do IDF soldiers live, shop and drink by the way? The moon? Or do they hide amongst civilians as well?
Who is this guy, again?
A guy who asked Obama about how he was supposed to pay more taxes.. and Obama told him he needed “to spread the wealth around”. Thoroughly embarrased Obama , so the Liberal media went on a witch hunt and crucified him ( after Democrats illegally used government computer records to dig up info on him). So now he is an enemy of the State.
But of course, he wouldn’t have paid more taxes, even if he was who he said he was, which he wasn’t.
Apparently you get your “news” from Fox. Did you know that constantly whining about “the liberal media” doesn’t do what you’re hoping it’ll do?
It just tells people that you’re a constant whiner.
so how does joe teh plumber’s lies about who he is make his question any less valid?
Nothing could make his question less valid.
Obama was not asking him to pay more taxes. Obama never suggested that someone in Joe’s position should pay more taxes.
Joe was simply parroting the standard right-wing whining about taxes. He’s a sorry excuse for an American. Lying and whining is not the American way, no matter how much the right wing wants it to be.
Good point. His lies, per se, didn’t affect the question directly. The
fact that he was in arrears on his taxes, and didn’t have a hope to
buy the business he mentioned, among other lies, made him a
laughing stock. His continued attention wh0ring compounded the
laughter, especially after the McCain teat dried up.
But, again, his lies didn’t affect the question. Someone making over
$200K would experience an increased tax rate for the amount of
income over the $200K mark. In Joe’s case, that would be in
addition to his back taxes, interest and penalties, of course.
sadly, he will be a shining example of republicans for years to come… him and sarah palin. they really could use some better representation.
You need to be more eugenic and a little less mercantile class…
Tell me exactly what he did for the Left to hate him so much?
I’m not left… and I think the fact that he basically lied and lied and lied really only endeared him to people who seem to like like liars and hypocrites. He’s an easy target to dislike since he’s pretty much the stereotype of what the European expects of an American…
He’s just a convenient focus for our attention. He (lying) said he was going to become a business owner who was going to clear $200,000/year, and why did Obama want to cheat him of his money? Obama replied that at $200,000, he would be receiving a tax break, not a tax increase. Joe refused to hear that, and the right wing media took that little conversation and ran with it. The righties (somehow) turned it into “Obama hates small businesses”, and the lefties are irritated enough with that lame bit of alchemy that we blame Joe.
Plus, we really hate when righties lie to make their points. Seriously, if you were correct, you wouldn’t have to lie.
What did he lie about?
He is not a plumber, he has no plumber’s license. He said, “I’m getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan’s going to tax me more, isn’t it?” He was unemployed and never had any plans for purchasing a business.
You spend a lot of time down a hole or something? I’m not in America, nor an American and I know the sordid tale of Joe the Plumber
Such nice people here !
We’re nice to other nice people, and we’re jerks to other jerks. You came across as a jerk. If you aren’t a jerk, please accept my humble apology. If you were being sarcastic there, as I suspect you were, then you need to grow some thicker skin. That was not mean by any stretch of the imagination.
…and on alternate Tuesdays, we’re jerks to everyone! But, yeah, Mookie, man (or woman) up and don’t get your panties in a wad over, well, not much at all.
you speak for yourself… I’m a JERK! LOUD AND PROUD!
I’m 16 and Mixed race and you are a racist punk.
Condering you don’t know Seth’s race, you’re an asshat. That
said, if you’re into women in their early 20’s, we at PK can hook
you up with someone you can appreciate…
Ah, it’s the guy who thinks ‘He Sux’ is the height of wit and taste…
A cream puff casper milquetoast, just a mental midget with the IQ of a fence post
(Apologies to Tom Waits…)
You want we bow, or simply applaud?
Dolt.
What are you babbling about? Nothing was said about race.
Seth is not racist. But like most of us, he’s intelligentist. We discriminate against the fecking STUPID.
Hated he had to expose Obama. That what pisses you all off so much?
“Expose Obama”? No idea what you’re talking about.
As in, expose him… with a penis.
When did a quarter million dollar profit PA and above become a ’small business’?
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, “…a small business concern is ‘one that is independently owned and operated and which is not dominant in its field of operation.’ “
I wasn’t asking for the official definition… most small businesses I know would love to make £150k pa. They don’t… Very few businesses would feel a tax hike on a 150k since they just don’t qualify. So, Joe T Plumber’s nonsense was simply nonsense… and if the Reps were REALLY the merchants they like to pretend they are, then they’d know that…
The GOP knew all of that, but just added another ingredient to the
Kool-Aid, and *voila!* Another material fact became unimportant.
Politicians=liars
Thing is, every different type of retard (from all sides) parrots this faecal drooling like it’s from God’s mouth to their ear, is just irritating… I mean… they’ve lived to adulthood (or so they claim) without ever being disturbed in their bovine emptiness and greed by a single thought… THAT’S what makes me narkey…
And the fire in the background is the total destruction of his personal life after he outed Obama…….
He outed nothing… other than the fact he’d sell his mother for glue to get fame…
