Poor Joe

Joe the Not A Licensed Plumber has now become known for not being licensed and for owing back taxes.

He’s also a single dad, raising his kid alone. And for the next week or so, until the McI-Hate-Everyone campaign realizes the “Joe the Plumber” is a national joke that even schoolkids are ripping on one day after the debate (this I heard first-hand at my kids’ school. And I’m talking 4th graders, guys. They get that it’s stupid.), Joe is going to be hounded by the media, who may or may not turn up more little skeletons like the back taxes and the no-license for contracting.

But John McCrapface doesn’t care. He’s using Joe. And when he’s done with Joe, in about a week or probably less, Joe will be kicked to the curb along with his tax bills.

Poor Joe.

Obama, on the other hand, actually took five minutes on the rope line to talk to this guy. That’s class.

    Joe brought it on himself by being a tool. He’s clearly a plant from someone on the right. Check it out:http://www.osborneink.com

    Yeah Poor Joe Plumber my ass. If he hadn’t spent his five minutes with Obama lying and exaggerating his whole story (and apparently reporting it to McCain’s camp–I’m still fuzzy on that), he wouldn’t be the butt of 4th grade jokes and his whole life splashed around the internets.

    Holy Batman’s ass, Matt, I should have read your link before posting. That’s…convincing. And explains how McCain knew so much about a conversation someone had with Obama. If true, this is Large.

    That link to the story of how Joe T. Plumber is some sort of troll, well, it looks ridiculous to me. First of all, I go by my middle name and not my first name so according the author that means it isn’t my real name? What the hell kind of sense does that make? There is nothing in that story that is even remotely like evidence–it’s all coincidence and conjecture and entirely pointless. He asked Obama a question that Obama was able to answer in great detail and that is somehow an October Surprise? Guys, that’s just stupid. Republican October Surprises, if there really is such a thing, would be far more grand and would not be an economic issue. How does this Joe Plumber nonsense hurt Obama in the slightest? And isn’t this the exact type of guilt by association maneuvering we all find so ludicrous when it’s used against our candidate?

    But the Ayers bit wasn’t working. The economy IS the issue but McCain can’t go there. So a setup makes sense. I’m not saying I believe it, just that it is convincing enough (with their rabid deviousness) to consider as real. Not the October surprise, it’s not that big, but if true and exposed could turn into the reverse surprise.
