From Joe the Plumber to Joe the Congressman?

Message Sandy Sand

Joe The Unlicensed Plumber, who owes back taxes has decided he might plunge into future congressional races.

Anyone take a really good look at Joe the Plumber on the tape of him listening to Barack Obama explaining his tax plan?

It was a deer in the headlights moment; an eyes-awash-in-total-blankness moment.

I was watching a replay of the tape very closely to see ole Joe’s reaction to what Barack Obama was telling him.

Obama could just as well have been speaking to him in tongues.

This numbnutz didn’t understand any words other than conjunctions and articles. And I’m not too sure about those.

The only things he listens to and understands are John “I’ll Give More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy” McCain’s lies that ole Joe will be better off under McCain’s tax plan than Obama’s.

Joe -- Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, 34 -- not only doesn’t understand English, he didn’t comprehend one word of what Obama said.

His blank eyes told the entire story. And what nobody except Thom Hartmann explained on his radio show, is that a business that nets 250K a year, would be put on the market for around two mill, and Joe doesn’t have a chance in hell of buying it…ever.

Migawd the man doesn’t even have a plumber’s license.

Not to be deterred by the facts surrounding Joe, the McCain campaign has “hired” Joe to be a campaign spokesman, and he will be touring some cities in Ohio over the next few days.

Well, that should give Joe some campaigning experience, but how much hope is there for a guy who could go to jail for non-payment of taxes, and who doesn’t grasp the simplest laws of economics.

Maybe he should spend his time in school getting some education in plumbing licensing, economics and civics.
