Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, January 12, 2009

After trading in his tool belt for a reporter's microphone and notepad, Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher arrived in Israel to cover the war in Gaza for a right-wing website, then told reporters Sunday they shouldn't be allowed to cover them. "I don't think journalists should be (allowed) anywhere near ... war," Wurzelbacher told other reporters in the Israeli town of Sderot. "You guys report where our troops are at, what's happening day-to-day, you make a big deal out of it. I think it's asinine."

especially if it is the holocaust type, huh?

Let's let journalists fix toilets and let turds like Joe report on war.

Man, this guy takes stupid to a whole new level.

Here's the video evidence:

cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com

Joe: "I like back in World War One and World War Two when you go to the theatre and you'd see your troops on the screen and everyone be really excited and happy for them.",[later to add, "and the best part was it didn't even matter which side you were on, or which nation you were in - everyone was really excited and happy for the troops on all sides, depending on where you lived...but that was before those nosy journalists butted in where they didn't belong. They ruined war for everyone..."]

I still can't believe this moron is around. Go away please.

ban the media

fuck freedoms of press

joe the nazi

go to gaza

lets see if you feel safe to have a picnic

or even leave a bomb shelter

Maybe he and McCain can have a walkabout and buy some scarves.

Ummmmmmm didn't Joe the Plumber declare that He hated the media following Him around here in the States?? He hath become what He most hateth?? Ironic Don'tcha think??

Larry

I can only hope he tries to spread the word of Christ to as many Gazans as possible. Let the Palestinians take our garbage out for us.

Jon Stewart made a funny on this subject after not-Joe's patently absurd "protected by God" statement telling Joe to "put it on a Tshirt" and to mention his religious beliefs at every opportunity while in the 'holy' land.

In terms of journalists not reporting on war wot makes him think that they have been to date?

America recieves the softened, censored, fact-purged version of events if not a verbatim reading of the Pentagons daily brief.

Hardly "journalism" by any stretch.

Be Well.

Joe . . . Uh, Joe . . . Christ . . . HEY, JOE! Get a clue, your 15 minutes are way over up.

Just like Palin, he'll be here as long as y'all keep legitimatizing him by giving him ink.

Like a lonely dog, if everyone ignored him, he'd go away.

Just like Palin, he'll be here as long as y'all keep legitimatizing him by giving him ink.

It's the joyful legacy of McCain's campaign - the gifts that keep on giving, Palin and now Joe. Every time either of them open their mouths, it's entertainment. Sorry that it also paints "stupid" all over the GOP, but there's that nasty little thing called culpability.

Who said anyone wants Joe the Plumber to go away? Yes, his 15 minutes are way over up. But, as YAV insightfully points out, he's an embarrassment that those who remember the GOP mismanagement of the U.S. government will rub on GOPiggy snouts for a long, long time to come. Same with Palin. Then there's the pure entertainment value. Bring on the clowns!

Who said anyone wants Joe the Plumber to go away?

To me, you strongly implied it in your last post. My bad.

But to answer your question specifically, the poster of #5 did.

I merely opined that his 15-minutes was up. I have no problem with him shuffling across the public stage as long as he wants. Clowns serve a useful purpose in many cultures.

...those who remember the GOP mismanagement of the U.S. government will rub on GOPiggy snouts for a long, long time to come.

What a shame that 'those who remember' will be too busy 'rubbing snouts' for a long time instead of working with each other to pass meaningful legislation and get the country back on its feet agin. Vengeance and gloating accomplish nothing.

If you are right, it looks like four more years of the sameold, sameold.

*sigh*

Just like Palin, he'll be here as long as y'all keep legitimatizing him by giving him ink.

One more small (OK, it's really big) point.

The Right won't let him!

It's not the independents nor the Democrats that gave Joe (Sam) the new job. It's not the Independents nor the Democrats that made Sarah! issue a Press release, as Governor of Alaska, on how unfair the Press has been to her. It's not the Independents nor the Democrats that produced a movie on how Obama got elected that features Palin.

All these are the works of the Right.

Then there's the pure entertainment value. Bring on the clowns!

Then it back, relax, and enjoy the show. Don't be concerned if his 15 minutes are up or not.

"What a shame that 'those who remember' will be too busy 'rubbing snouts' for a long time instead of working with each other to pass meaningful legislation and get the country back on its feet agin."

No reason that meaningful legislation can't be passed and some well deserved snout rubbing can be done at the same time. Republicans created this giant mess, they shouldn't now be so sensitive about people reminding them. Seems the least they can do is accept some responsibility.

You can *sigh* as much as you want, but I don't think multitasking is beyond the capabilities of most people. I mean, it's not like being George Bush and trying to be POTUS at the same time or anything quite as ridiculous as that. The presence of clowns who remind people of the disaster that was the last two presidential terms (with a GOP-controlled Congress in tandem for most of that period) does not make it impossible to shoot for and attain worthwhile goals. Hey, the GOP baked the shit frosting cake, let them enjoy it. (The Dems have been there, too, and it actually did them some good in the longer term.) In the meantime, let the country move along. But, please, continue with your patented, whiney little *sigh*... Me? I'm off to work.

All these are the works of the Right.

The right put him on stage. The left is providing the heckling audience. Without an audience, the show closes.

I'm off to work.

Same here. Hope everyone has a good day out there in DR land.

... but I don't think multitasking is beyond the capabilities of most people.

No it's not. But be honest -- do you think the right will want to work in a spirit of cooperation when the left is looking for vengeance? Not likely.

Just as Lincoln was wise enough to punish the south in order to rejoin the union, the left should do the same with the republicans.

But then, I've never been a vengeful person, so who am I to say? Maybe vengeance and 'rubbing snouts' is the cure for this country's ills.

errata:

...Lincoln wise enogh not to punish...

Off to work

Be safe, all.

What a shame that 'those who remember' will be too busy 'rubbing snouts' for a long time instead of working with each other to pass meaningful legislation and get the country back on its feet agin. Vengeance and gloating accomplish nothing.

LOL!

Like the right worked for the last 6 years in working with the left.

What a waste of time to even think the left should work with the right in anything, the right ignored anything the left did and went 180 for anything that was actually common sense for the majority of this nation.

What a waste of time to even think the left should work with the right in anything, ...

I just hope the next congress doesn't share your backwoods and ignorant view or this country will continue down the slope it is descending. Time will tell.

Vengeance is an ugly, primitive, and ignorant emotion

"I like back in World War One and World War Two when you go to the theatre and you'd see your troops on the screen and everyone be really excited and happy for them."

Pretty much tells you all you need to know about Joe.

Maybe he has a loved one who can explain that John Wayne was never really in the army.

No, but these actors served in WWII

You mean you expect this congress to act differently than any congress over the last 100 years? You are correct---this country is is sliding down a slippery slope, but it is because of people like you who insist on such a slope. You insist that this country tear itself apart. Rather than form two countries who both move forward, you insist on this country that by your own words is descending down a slope.

Vengeance is an ugly, primitive, and ignorant emotion as shown by the republicans when they came to power, and most likely by the dems when they take power---but that's the future of this coutry---the future you insist on for this country.

There will be no compromise between left and right--ever--face facts.

When will the disagreement over abortion rights be settled--when will you embrace the fact that women should be able to live their own lives and make their own decisions? NEVER. That's when this will be one nation again.

When will the disagreement over gay rights be settled--when will you embrace the fact that gays should be able to live their own lives and make their own decisions as to who they want to marry? NEVER. That's when this will be one nation again.

When will you embrace the fact that welfare, affirmative action, universal health care, and more are good for America? NEVER. That's when this will be one nation again.

Fighting over these things will never cease, and one side will always be unhappy and hate the other. This is proven every day on this blog. The best thing to do is both go our separate ways, and then both sides are happy.

What is the sense in maintaining one country when half the country hates the other half, and neither side can accomplish anything? Which side is right? Which is wrong? Who knows unless both sides have the chance to advance their views without restrictions from the other side.

As with all your posts, bOoB, I stopped at the first lie about me. If you had something in there you wished me to read, repost without the lies. If you don't, I figure it wasn't important enough to ready anyway.

Goatman

Fine--thwere was no lie about you. Everything said was absolutely true. If you insist on this being one country, you insist on the slope the country is descending. So let me spam a bit to see if any others can see any room for compromise in this country.

OOPS. Didn't even make it past one sentence before I encountered a lie.

Your first post did indeed include a lie:

but it is because of people like you who insist on such a slope.

.. which is a lie. So to start you second post insisting there isn't a lie in the first one is itself a lie.

So sorry -- I didn't make it past the first sentence. If there is something you want me to read, do not include lies. I stop at the first one I come to.

I know, bOoB. I've explained to you several times (PRINT THIS OUT. PUT IT NEAR YOUR COMPUTER. NOW. BEFORE YOU FORGET) that since the dawn of civilization, there has never been a society that has been in 100% agreement with the way things are run.

I've told you this before, too: If you split the country in two like you want, it is a guantee there will be schisms and divisions within both.

That's just the nature of the beast. We have to deal with that simple fact, not run from it.

Now if you have't done so yet, print this out right now so I don't have to explain it again.

We'll be one nation again when religion is completely removed from government.

Actually, Americans have never fully agreed on anything. We've never been one truly united nation. The religion thing would help.

This is true. We have never agreed on everything, and we were one nation. The reason we were one nation is that we mostly minded our own business, and just assumed that most of the others were just like us. The government has made that impossible now. The government has clearly defined our separate goals--we need to purue tham separately.

The things that divide us will always divide us---hiding your head in the sand and repeating the same mantra over and over as the country slides into third world status won't help.

The religion thing would help, but I would hope that liberal would be tolerant of the religious in their new country, and that the religious in that country would keep their religion to themselves.

Ah, in a perfect world, Bob. Well written. I couldn't agree more.

"What a shame that 'those who remember' will be too busy 'rubbing snouts' for a long time instead of working with each other to pass meaningful legislation and get the country back on its feet agin. Vengeance and gloating accomplish nothing."

Oh so NOW is the time to play nice and forgive all past grievances? Please. The GOP is finally reaping what it's sown, they'll just have to deal with it.

No, it's not OK, but it is human behaviour. How many times do I have to spit in your face before you smack me in the head?

This is the way it will always be--it is two countries--we need to face facts.

we need to face facts.

Most of us have, bOoB -- are seem to be a holdout for whatever reason.

Understood and agreed.

JPW seemed to be saying that it WAS OK, as long as it was his side employing tit-for-tat.

Having said that, the Republican majority pretty much ran roughshod over the Dems so I understand where you are coming from - they don't deserve any sympathy.

I just think the Dems would really do themselves well to be the 'bigger' men (and women) and not stoop the the same tactics. I also think they would extend their current sphere of power by doing so.

But justice is GOLDEN.

Hang them high.

Jeff J

Sounds good in theory, except the dems can do absolutely nothing right according to people like Limbaugh, and generally the right wing spin machine. No matter what Obama does, it will be wrong. There can be no peace, no agreement. Ever.

I can't believe that Bob actually tries to advance this idea of two nations as if it could actually happen. Bob, you present this notion like a door to door salesman. You are actually trying to sell pepole on it. The problem is no one can ever buy your product. Why you continue with this I have no idea.

True Bob. Whatever they do, they'll be wrong. For instance, don't put in Burris and you're racist. Put him in and you'd also be racist. The DEMOCRATS are racist! I love it. And what's left of the repub base eats it up along with Joe the Unlicensed Plumber's Helper.

If there are any republicans around these days that still dont understand how bad bushco screwed the country and the world, they never will understand what the term 'good for America' means.

Madlib

You are exactly correct. The bad news is that there are millions of them

Having said that, the Republican majority pretty much ran roughshod over the Dems so I understand where you are coming from - they don't deserve any sympathy.

I just think the Dems would really do themselves well to be the 'bigger' men (and women) and not stoop the the same tactics. I also think they would extend their current sphere of power by doing so.

The democrats should show no mercy, at every turn show the illegal activity of the republicans, show the slanted policies that were for the few and not the people, run the republicans into the dirt for their high cloud arogance and continue to smash them down to beat their kind of attitude out of having such a party.

If democrats show mercy, we will just be in this mess again in the future, these republicans that caused this are the same ones still not understanding the problems this country is in and frankly they don't care. Push the bastards out for good.

Now the Republicans are in the Minority the Republicans want to work together. I say fuck that. You guys have fucked this Country up so fucking far it's not even funny. Come talk to the Democrats when the Democrats have cleaned up Your shitty messes. It's always the case. The Republicans get the big head and the Democrats have to clean up for them. It never fails.

Larry

Can you say "bailout"... Talk about a fucked up idea. Let the chips fall where they may.

Larry--both sides have screwed us over. They just take turns.

But I'll agree with you--the more these guys and gals do not get along the safer the American People are.

They should not get along--they can pass the bills in the House--but nothing in the Senate--so nothing gets done.

Fine by me.

Kewl so She somewhat agrees with Me. So Murphy still coaching??

Larry

"After trading in his tool belt for a reporter's microphone and notepad, "

YEAH!

Except the part where Joe The Dip Shit wasnt Smart Enough to Pack a "notepad"!

Joe is onto something--

Wurzelbacher added that "war is hell and if you're going to sit there and say, 'Look at this atrocity,' well, you don't know the full story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it."

Joe defends Israel

Citizens of Sderot "can't do normal things day to day" like wash their hair, because of the fear of Hamas' rockets, the former plumber said.

"I'm sure they're taking quick showers," he said. "I know I would."

While touring a facility of spent rockets with the head of the Government Press Office, Danny Seaman, and an official government photographer, Wurzelbacher provided smiles for the veteran journalists watching him at work.

"I have thousands of questions but I can't think of the right one," he said at the start of his interview with Seaman.

While he may have had difficulty finding the right question, he did have a lot of anger for those criticizing Israel for the offensive into Gaza that has killed more than 870 Palestinians. Thirteen Israelis have died since the military operation began, four by rocket attacks.

"Why hasn't Israel acted sooner?" Wurzelbacher asked. "I know if I were a citizen here, I'd be damned upset."

Calling himself a "peace-loving man," Wurzelbacher added, "(but) when someone hits me, I'm going to unload on the boy. And if the rest of the world doesn't understand that, then I'm sorry."

Wurzelbacher said he took the job to cover the war because he was an "expert on media bias."

"I was on the short end of the stick," he said, comparing his situation to Israel's.

He complained that the full story of Israel's operations in Gaza isn't being reported and the mainstream media are demonizing Israel.

"It's asinine when someone is firing upon you and the world is coming down on you," he said. "Common sense has gone out the window."

It is Wurzelbacher's first trip to Israel. He said that he has been "embraced" by Israel because "they know I have no agenda but the truth."

--------

His point is well taken--the media sucks. lol

And of course Joe has his critics--he has point--the media is screwing up this crisis with Hamas and Israel.

No Larry--no coaching for a while. The kids are too old for the recreational sports.

I have thought about taking an 8 and under girls team. That is really the fun age. They want to learn, eager, and they don't talk back. ;o)

Wurzelbacher added that "war is hell and if you're going to sit there and say, 'Look at this atrocity,' well, you don't know the full story behind it half the time, so I think the media should have no business in it."

So who does Joe think is going to find out what the "full story" is? Oh yeah, he doesn't want to hear it. Just fill his empty head with propaganda.

In other news, Joe made The Beast's list of the 50 most loathsome Americans of 2008. Go Joe!!

20. Joe the Plumber

Charges: The Che Guevara of bald, pissed off white men. In a lot of ways, Samuel Wurzelbacher really does represent the average American—basing economic opinions on unrealistic expectations of personal future success, blaming his failure to meet those expectations on minorities and old people, complaining about deadbeats getting his taxes when he isn’t actually paying his taxes, and advertising his own rudimentary historical and mathematical ignorance by warning of creeping socialism in a country whose highest income tax rate has dropped by half in thirty years. “Joe” indeed symbolizes the true American dream—to become undeservedly rich and famous through a dizzyingly improbable stroke of luck. As American folk heroes go, Wurzelbacher ranks somewhere between Hulk Hogan and Bernie Goetz.

Exhibit A: "Social Security is a joke...social security I've never believed in, don't like it. I hate that it's forced on me."

Sentence: After blowing his fifteen minutes and all his money on coke and Thai hookers, an infirm, elderly Joe finds that social security actually is a joke, and is finally forced to snake toilets for a living.

I love this. Joe The Plumber is now a war correspondent. I want to perfect the equation. I would love to see those reporters at MSNBC, CNN, NBC, and the NYT, now trade their note pads for toilet plungers. After all, Joe is a more fair and believable reporter than them. Wow, the Latrine News Service Society is alive and well.

The Latrine News Network --LNN

This could apply to any news outlet--foreign and domestic.

Gosh, I wonder if Joe is going to interview any Palestinians so that he "knows the full story" before he spouts off his nonsense?

If democrats show mercy, we will just be in this mess again in the future, these republicans that caused this are the same ones still not understanding the problems this country is in and frankly they don't care.

Actually there is plenty of blame to go around for both parties. But if runnysore had his way, he'd run the country further and further into the ground as long as he got vengeance. Damn the good of the country.

Fortunately, I don't believe the next congress will be as pettily vengeful as runny sore is.

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that wrench in your hand

~ZH

* lit bic lighter held aloft *

Good 'un. This place could definitely use more song parody/satire things.

And of course Joe has his critics--he has point--the media is screwing up this crisis with Hamas and Israel.

~Murphy

You mean like Bananas in Pyjams Media who sent Joe the Tool into Israel to be an uninformed 100% shill for Israel based on the idea that there are still a few folks left back in the states who are too stupid to appreciate wot a massively unfunny joke he is?

Or are you upset that after thirty or so years of Israel controlling the message in terms of assuring only the Israeli side of the conflict gets covered in western media that the rules have changed?

That Israel's disproportianate response to the rocket attacks and especially the suffering of the Palestinians under the blocade have sickened even people who have traditionally been staunch allies of Israel?

This more even-handed approach to the conflict is a welcome relief after thirty years of non-stop propoganda.

Tell you wot isn't a relief. Assholes like Joe trying to go back in time and pretend that the one sided coverage of this continual crisis wasn't part of the problem.

Joe is now officially part of the problem.

A more complex understanding of the underlying issues from both perspectives is part of the solution.

Joe doesn't get that.

If Joe was smarter Spud would call him "cynical" but as it is calling him a "useful idiot" for Israel is about the most apt description available.

Be Well.

/Know how many times a vote in the UN has come down to the US and Israel versus the Rest of the World?
//Know how often this info get ignored, buried or spun by western media up to and including that supposed bastion of Liberal Thought the NYT?
///Let's just say "More often than you think"

Joe is a more fair and believable reporter...

~Mr Retardation

Joe isn't even a believable plumber.

As a "reporter" his bias is so obvious it can be seen from space with the naked eye.

C'mon, yer not really THAT stupid are you?

R'ly?

Wow, just wow.

How do you manage to tie yer own shoes?

Velcro straps? Well, that makes sense at least.

Be Well.

It's easy to laugh at Joe The Plumber but he's rediscovered the old truth that nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. Joe gets the last laugh -- on his way to Israel and the bank.

"so nothing gets done.

Fine by me.

You sound like Norv Turner.

This clown has a strongly held opinion on everything and has learned absolutely nothing. If I were a Republican, I'd be angry at the people who foisted this dunce on the public as a representative of my party's beliefs.

Hey reporters...Don't do what I'm doing!

-Joe the fake plumber.

"You guys report where our troops are at, what's happening day-to-day, you make a big deal out of it. I think it's asinine."

YEAH!

People dying.....no 'big deal'!

The Palestinians are on there 15th day without running water. They sure could use a Plumber!

Goatman:

Nice post (link) featuring actors that
participated in the war effort.

It contrasts horribly with the anti-American
leftist actors we have now. Can you imagine
any of those morally-twisted pussies serving
their country in time of war?

Me neither!

If you ask, I will provide. Tonight it might be a hendrix set. To the tune of voodoo chile (slight return):

Well I'm standin next to a daycare
And I light up Sderot with another Qassam
Well I'm lookin down at a daycare
And I knock it down with a laser-guided bomb

Pick up all the children's bodies
Then I go back home to rearm...

'Cause I'm gonna kill your child, yeah, I'm gonna kill your child

I didn't mean to take up all of your money
But God has enemies, and someone's gotta pay
I didn't mean to squander all of your sweet lives
Give 'em right back to you at the End of Days

I won't see you again in this world, see you in the next one
Don't be late, don't be late

At this point in the show, Hamas Hendrix hands someone a suicide vest, lights his guitar on fire, and throws it in the general direction of Israel. Likud Hendrix turns sees this, builds a wall of amps around the Gaza Strip, turns them up to 11, and unleashes an apocalyptic guitar solo that demolishes half of Gaza City. The real Hendrix puts another drop of LSD dissolved in DMSO on the back of his headband and cuts into "Machine Gun".

This asshole is what happens when a country goes to war without a draft.

This guy is a laughable buffoon. Then again, so was Palin. Does he really help Israel though? Does the support of a brainwashed neocon, white american male tard really what they want or need?

Not to exhume the McCain miserably failed campaign corpse, but look at this Joe Plumber jackass and think how McRage paraded him as his campaign centerpiece. With McCain's pathetic judgement, could you imagine what his cabinet would have looked like now if he won? Considering his absurd choices like The Wasilla Hillbilly and this Joe the Plumber asshole? Very scary thought.

Thank God McCain lost and thank God the GOP has been reduced to its hardened, ever-shrinking core of ignorant, angry, racist white tards from the southland. Yes, thank God for that.

Hang around Joe, we are 'a pullin fer ya!

You Betcha, also, too!

It contrasts horribly with the anti-American
leftist actors we have now. Can you imagine
any of those morally-twisted pussies serving
their country in time of war?
Me neither! #79 | POSTED BY DEAN_BUVIA

Back then the right thing to do was fight. We and our allies were attacked. The actors stood for truth and justice.

Now we preemptively attack countries based on cooked evidence. Once again actors stand for truth and justice.

In a just war, I could certainly see the likes of Sean Penn, Tim Robbins or Charlie Sheen signing up. Hell, Rosie would even be riveting. (So to speak)

Besides, let's ask some of those old surviving actors- Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Micky Rooney, Don Rickles, Michael Caine, Sean Connery how they feel about these wars and their love of our current president.

While Goatfuck states correctly criticizing Joe just keeps him in the spotlight Joe does little to help conservatives. The last thing the GOP should be doing at this point is to continue pushing their populist message that McCain failed with. All Joe does is keep the ignorant trash on the GOP side and push the rest toward the Dems. This is why he is newsworthy.

Sam Wurzelbacher's the gift that just keeps on giving. I'd love to see him run for Congress, like he's threatened to do. Here's the latest serving from this clown's kitchen of endless buffoonery:

I realize I'm feeding the troll, but it's not often you see stupid on quite this magnificent a scale. "Joe" "The Plumber", while accusing a small gaggle of media of anti-Israel bias, ran into an actual journalist -- and promptly own-goaled himself.

JOE: The story here is people are being killed and the media's slanting it and trying to make it Hamas is, uh, as far as, that Israel's being bad. Do you believe Israel is bad?

REPORTER: Do I believe it?

JOE: Yeah, do you?!

REPORTER: I'm Israeli, so

JOE: So answer the question!

REPORTER: No, I don't think Israel is bad.

JOE: Do you think Israel has every right to protect itself?

REPORTER: Yeah.

[pause]

JOE: You do?!

REPORTER: Yeah.

JOE: Have you said that on air?

REPORTER: I'm just a reporter.

If Joe the Plumber didn't exist, The Onion would've had to invent him.


Keep trottin Joe-the-Plimber and Palin around.

It's best that everybody see exactly what the GOP is about. You can't refute it, you can't deny it. Just let them crow.

They do more damage than the left ever could.

Ever see 'Face In The Crowd"? Andy Griffith as Lonesome Rhodes?
I see a similar fate awaiting Joe The Plumber That Wasn't. Deservedly.
But in the meantime, lets enjoy his face time. I agree with the POV that each moment the right trots this poster-child for everything that's wrong with the American Male, the middle will shy away from the right, not wanting to catch its fleas. It's happening, my Fred Flintstone conservative country folk -- the rest of the nation laughs at you -- with a careful eye not to let the clown get near the matches.

Joe is crucifying himself on a cross of stupidity.

I think Sarah Palin and Joe the Retard should be on the same Republican Ticket together for the next
Presidency...

I mean the reruns of Screw Ups alone would be priceless. Countless hours of entertainment on
the Daily Show...

And maybe we would all get lucky and Sarah's Beau
and Joe the "Not So Much a Plumber" would get into
a real "down-home-frickeseed-cage-
match-doublewide-trailercourt-
fight"...

Now that's MUST SEE T.V.

Then again maybe we'll get lucky and Joe will step on an Israeli Landmine and get blown to his Rapture
of the Rigthwing Republoknobs early...

I mean...this script just gets better and better >;)

It just keeps getting better.

I want Sam the Reporter/Joe the Plumber to keep it up.

No need for snarky comments either, just let him do all the work. Ever since exploding onto the scene, Sammy J. has been absolute solid GOLD.

love it, love it, love it.

SHUT THE FUCK UP, JOE

Overtones of 1984 redux?

From chasing turds down toilets to an expert on world affairs.

Only in America Folks!

P.S. Hey Joe ...pay your fucking taxes you deadbeat wanna be someone asshole.

This jackoff and Sarah Palin...(2) peas in a pod.

The term Journalist died when Mega Corporations with little knowledge of the media purchased the Main Stream Media business. They have inflicted their bias on the rest of the public and knew they could control many sheep with it. Which changed the way the many people behave and believe.

In the 60's we were concerned about subliminal messages via the TV, instead we got a huge saturation for decades that the US way of life (capitalisum) is wrong (i.e.: George Soros). Now we are well on our way to Socialisum, which is no longer a bad word. Therefore every War is evil and the US is to blame for every one of them. Ask the MSM Journalists, they will tell you about it - again and again. Along with a dozen commericals every 7 minutes.

LOL! smarmypants.

The bull shit is flying fast and high with you.

Smartypants-
re: " Along with a dozen commericals every 7 minutes... [telling us]...that the US way of life (capitalisum) is wrong"

????

Joe learned a new word this week......Asinine! Good job Joe, stay tuned tomorrow when he discovers the wonders of the number 7!! I hear they may have to slow down the class though, Sarah is supposed to show up......

LM

I usually do not waste my time to reply to counter postings. But Dethspud, you are too lame brained to understand my postings. You need a plumber right away to unplug you. Bull something is coming out of your ears.

Use the NYT if you run out of Charmin.

classy
