Joe’s not a Plumber

I just had to look up Joe the Plumber to see who was getting so much press.  It turns out he is not a plumber after all!  I found a video about him on CNN.  The first part is funny.  Then comes Joe’s interview, he and I don’t share the same political views but that’s ok because in this great country we have the right to disagree.  He hates social security and believes it should be done away with.  Well, I hope he never needs it but if he does he will change his mind.  The video ends with a long talk between CNN people.  I disagreed with a few points made but the one that bothered me the most was that Americans apparently don’t care about abortion or our schoolds right now we just care about the economy.  Well, I care about ALL of those issues!  So There!

    My favorite part of that clip was when the designated McCain backer said that his man came off “like Captain Queeg.”

    I thought Joe was a 6-pack.

    Joe the Plumber. Joe Six-Pack.

    I know both those fuckers,
    and they’re the most bourgeois guys in town.

    Captain Queeg, by contrast,
    has “never seen the inside of a Starbuck’s.”
    Consequently he has received
    a number of medals
    (although he did not deserve some of them).
