Joe the Plumber to attend GOP strategy meeting
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18324.html

By ALEX ISENSTADT | 2/2/09 7:26 PM EST

Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.

If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.

“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!” Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.

Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com.

9. Warms my heart to see the rising
stars of the Republican party. Joe. Palin. Socks, the Clinton's cat and President Obamas new dog have higher intelligence than either one of them.

14. Makes Me Wonder What Our Own Version Of Joe Da Plumber Would Look Like
Will s/he be such a know-nothing, attention-seeking jackhole like this jamoke?

15. He should follow Thom Hartmann's advice and talk about what he knows- plumbing.
There is nothing wrong with plumbers, but let's be honest. I don't go to my plumber for advice on foreign affairs. I don't go to my electrician for investment advice. I did, however, once have a tv cable installer who tried to tell me, an educator, about how glorious NCLB is and how well it is working for our nation's children. He was serious.

25. Before all this nonsense, I don't know. Depends on how I came across him.
Now? Forget it. He's a fraud and a fool.

No way.

23. Well, that's it
Give up now, DUmmycrats! It's only a matter of time before the magnificent magnifisense of Joe the Plumber merges with the fauxy foxiness of Sarah Palin sweeps the American electorate and initiates the never-ending reign of Republican dominance! Might as well throw in the trowel. Arrest my case!

24. Bobby Jindal must be so excited!
All the young "high end" republicans are going to be saddled with this Joe/Palin/Limbaugh trailer trash forever. I always have a good laugh at my Wall Street GOP friends when these moron icons act up.
