Is that right?

1. That's what I've gathered from all of the hoopla.

2. No, it's because the McCain campaign decided Joe's lie would be useful to them.

And decided to use it, without checking it or him out.

8. I'm Vabby, and I approve the above message. They didn't check him much like Palin.

Fuckin' idiots. They are so quick to jump on uselessness of a punk who's also racist. Smart...

10. Yup. It seems that though they are obsessed with "working-class whites"...

They don't know shit about them.

So the story of a plumber from Ohio netting over $250,000 per year didn't raise any red flags for them.

Just as they thought we "dipshit" Americans would buy seeing Russia from a house and a refueling stop in Ireland as credible foreign policy experience.

It's frankly insulting.

11. Agreed.

Shoot, even when Obama was answering the this guy I was surprised he didn't raise a brow at that scenario. It just made no sense. Then it was basically proven false. Ugh...I'm building up my anxiety and frustrating myself. I'm done with Joe the Mascarading-Plumber

9. I don't think McTwitchy gave a crap either way.

If some plumber from Ohio gets smashed beyond all recovery by the political/paparazzi machine, why should Twitchy care? That guy probably matters less to the Republicans than the ants we accidentally murder every day just walking from our front doors to the car.

3. Yep. That's pretty much the gist of it. Pretty frickin' sad.

He tried to play "Gotcha" with Obama, for whatever reason, and now he's some kind of folk hero to McCain. The entire response by Obama is now forgotten - he knocked it out of the park.

4. He injected himself into this, i heard a radio clip of him today and he said

"I heard my neighbors outside talking to him and i didn't think they were asking him tough question so i went outside to talk to him myself". He went to talk to Obama, he brought it out there and now he has to deal with being found out as a fraud.

He's not a plumber, my Grandpa was a licensed plumber that ran a union shop and Joe isn't fit to clean the boot my Grandpa wore.

5. Did he lie or is he just delusional?

The guy probably thinks Shenia Twain is getting divorced so she can move to Toledo and have a torrid affair with Joe the Plumber.

He's a friggin plumber from TOLEDO. My apologies to any plumbers out there, or folks from Toledo, but obviously, we aren't talking nuclear physicist here.

6. We are a nation of morons

That's the only reason this is anything close to newsworthy. It's pure info-tainment. Something the last of the undecided dum dums to chew on as they continue to wallow on the fendce before god forbid, having to make a decision.

7. McLame's people are so desperate that they 1. are looking at every

single thing that Obama does, 2. would run with a completely un vetted bullshit on the surface guy as a centerpiece of his last debate.
