He'll flush out corruption wherever he finds it.....

:puke:

he labeled people who criticized Bush as "unpatriotic" at best.

administration? He's so concerned now.

I hope Joe & cronies can find Bush's mythical WMDs. That particular republicon pack of lies has cost us the lives of over 4,000 of our sons and daughters in uniform, and thousands upon thousands of maimed and mentally deranged veterans, not to mention the dead and wounded men, women, and children or Iraq, and the trillions of dollars of wasted tax money.

to attend the Obama rally & ask his stupid question. obviously he was to be the linchpin of that loser's campaign.

Surely FUX will sign him to a major contract before some other major 'news' organization does. Maybe he'll take over Britt Hume's upcoming vacancy.

over a potential Palin/Plumber ticket in 2012.

Call it the "Potty Mouth/Potty Plunger" ticket.

When will this "Turd Chaser" go away???

in his FANTASY LAND

I would think that's a normal query available to citizens as a form of consumer protection.

Plumbers I spoke with begrudgingly admitted unless you're the one sweating the pipe at the actual job, licenses aren't an issue -- e.g., if he's acting as a contractor, hiring other plumbers, etc. he doesn't need the plumbing license.

Now the guy with the torch in his hand better have a license, or own the house himself.

... and all that actually happened is someone ran a normal query available to any consumer.

Just saying it's legit in some situations to be involved in plumbing without a license.

and the "company" was a two man operation - him and the guy he worked for. So, I highly doubt that they were doing large or commercial jobs - or that they were sub-contracting. More likely they were the ones being sub-contracted. Joe identifies himself as a "plumber" - not a "plumbers helper". He's not a plumber, and it's not legal for him to perform his self proclaimed profession in his own town.

He keeps saying he doesn't need a license because he works for someone else. That's not true - if you want to practice the trade of plumbing in Toledo Ohio you MUST be licensed.

And more to the point - he claims he's been a plumber for what? Fifteen years? Why the hell would he NOT get a license?

I wouldn't let Joe near my damn pipes. Especially my gas pipes!

Now STFU.

That idiot is starting to wear on my nerves. He needs to STFU, get back to work and pay off his tax lien.

A few weeks ago, he was planning to invest in a Plumbing Company worth about $250,000.00. Just a few weeks later, he's talking about giving up plumbing altogether and becoming a right wing agitator. In the time between, he hired a publicist and negotiated a deal to be a country music singer.

If he seriously had plans to buy a business for $250,000.00 wouldn't he already have a lot of planning and investment at stake. How can he just turn on a dime and walk away from his plan?

The moral of the story is, "Don't lend any money to Joe the Plumber. Don't invest your money in Joe the Plumber. He's not a serious businessman. His plans are just pie in the sky, and they'll evaporate when something new comes along."

Perhaps Joe's first effort will be watching his government explore where the seed money for his little Watchmen group comes from and what agenda Joe seeks to serve.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? wrote Juvenal. "Who watches the watchmen? Who guards the guards?"

If wall Street is dumb enough to invest in Subprime, and Credit Default Swaps, they're dumb enough to invest in him!

What a pair of numbskulls. Both of them brought to you by the numbskull-in-chief, John McCain.

The voters considered the "Joe Everyman" shtick to be condescending.

I can't keep up with Wurzelbacher's multiple career changes from day-to-day.

Its really obvious now that he's out to make a career of being "Joe the Plumber".
He's a legend in his own mind!
Joe does what he thinks is best for Joe...So I guess that makes him a perfect Republican..

:rofl:

"Joe the Plumber is neither Joe, nor a plumber. Discuss."

just because he was famous. I mean, favouritism like that is un-American, isn't it?

What a useless idiot this bozo is.

Will he make over $250,000 a year working with this new group? Is he still in danger of getting a tax cut?
Joe, you seem to be forgetting that people need someone to clear their drains.

Joe needs to listen to the words of the prophet, John Lennon.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so ------- crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

this guy has still not worked a single day at his pluming job since he first appeared on tv. The lazy bastard is trying to find a way out any way he can. Watchdog my ass, he wouldn't know corruption if it walked up and bit him in his exposed crack. :eyes:

I'm starting to think this guy is nuts. I think the democratic party should file a restraining order before this turns into "Single White Plumber", the movie.

Government intruding on personal rights and privacy thanks to Bush-co.

But if I see this SOB on the street someday begging for cash, I'm gonna beat the shit out of him.

:crazy:

How many careers does this guy want? So far he wants to be a small business owner, an author (or at least a fake one), a country music singer, a congressman, and now this? As Sarah would say, "there you go again, Joe." Maybe he should seek some sort of occupational therapy. Take that test that tells you what you should be when you grow up. He'll announce he's running in 2012 next. :eyes:

The Freepers are hysterical. They see Palin and Jindal as they way forward. And they call for the party being MORE conservative. This is like a gift from god.

.......around) riches. The way things are going at Fox, he may well get Hannity's job.

:spray: Move over georgie. :evilgrin:

:eyes:

:D

He'll follow the Moen(y)!

nt

Losers like this talk a lot but are incapable of following through on anything. This would actually take hard work which I don' think Joe is capable of.....I know he's not smart enough.
And what would happen to his recording career.....oh and yeah, his 'charity' that he's talked about starting as well?

he is a loser and he will remain a loser.

"Joe the Plumber eyes new career as spokesperson for Massengill"

It would be the perfect job for him!

:rofl:

more like voyeur.

from the Elian Gonzalez affair? Donato the fake fisherman swore he was going to visit Elian in Cuba. He promised to do all sorts of things. For a few months, he and that whack job Marisleysis were all over the news making outlandish pledges. Thankfully, they vanished from sight.

Which is what Joe, the fake plumber, will no doubt do. May he join Donato in well-deserved obscurity.

the new face of the republican party...and the title of his new band.

Knock yourself out, Joe.

Rocks meet box.

Say it ain't so, Joe - go back to Ohio and your quick "magic duct tape" plumbing tricks.

Although, there may be an opening for you, Joe. I read a month or so ago that the original Mr. Clean had passed away, even though they had been using an animated stunt double for many years. Perhaps you could pass yourself off as his evil twin "Mr. Slime" and see if they have a position for you.

Go home, Joe. Go home and back into obscurity. FOX is cutting back on staff so don't count on the "Joe the Plumber & Hannity Show" coming to fruition.

Maybe I used too many big words for poor Joe.

I wonder if setting up this new "watchdog group" will involve buying a cape and a walkie-talkie.

We are indeed a fortunate nation.

Yawn.... borrrrringggg....

Either:

1) Either he is serious, and I applaud him for his efforts to help the country, though I suspect he'll fail and waste his own time and money, or...

2) This is a partisan venture in which he expects to be backed by the Rs, in which case I spit on his efforts, though I suspect he'll fail and waste Republican time and money.


In other words, this guy has nowhere to go but down the drain.

If it had been up and running I would have, not that I think he deserves any attention, but the fact that this ignorant dumb shit and his supporters think so highly of him baffles me and the attention media spend on his disgusts me to the point of almost blind rage. I'm probably being petty, but this shit stain needs to go away and never come back!

and actually work on becoming a real plumber. Whatever it takes. But, mostly, Joe, just go away.

Why are they calling him Joe Wurzelbacher?
