Doof Quote of the Day

Posted on 02/12/2009 at 4:22 pm by Bob Cesca

“The money that they’re talking about spending is just absolutely incredible. You can’t get your mind around it. We used to think a million dollars was just the most incredible thing. Then it went to billions and now we’re talking trillions. And trillions is such a large number we just can’t wrap our mind around it, at least I can’t.”
—Joe the Plumber “investigating” the recovery bill for Pajamas Media. Seriously.

    Well – while I’m not for trivializing republicans, when they do it themselves (by having Joe the Plumber as any kind of spokesman)I guess its fair game.Also, perhaps this will go in Bob’s Republican dishonesty file: Pelosi’s Mouse.QT

    Uh, J the P, how much do you think that little escapade in Iraq cost?

  • GItheJOE

    It is a number with 12 zeros right? I believe this bill is about a 2 and eight zeros short of that number that requires toe counting.

    Re: Pelosi’s mouse – This is why none of these irrational people can be or should be taken seriously. They do it to themselves. But I’m sure we’ll see this story aped for he next three days on the very serious cable news outlets.

    Joe the Moron. He doesn’t understand numbers big nor small. Classic midwesterner loser wannabe.

  • ceu

    Don’t ya wish they’d try to read it? Maybe that would occupy them for a few days…..

  • thespacearound

    Um…not that I’m miffed or anything, but you’re being a little unfair to the “midwesterner” in general, FrictionSoul.But, then again, perhaps this is an attempt at satire. A little thin though…

    Joe should be very proud then that we invented the number trillion under the Reagan Administration. Remember shooting lasers at missiles and a giant shield around the earth made out of $100 bills?

  • SillyGit

    <sarcasm>But David, surely you know that the Strategic Pork Initiative was not wasteful spending. That money all went to corporations. It’s only wasteful spending when it goes to citizens.</sarcasm>
