These be hard times...cough
Do the Republicans just enjoy being the minority party? This is just comical.
Every time I think conservatives have hit rock bottom - that they can’t possibly get any more ridiculous - one of them screams “Watch this!” and makes armpit farts.
Oh...My...God....Joe the freakin' plumber is helping the Republicans plan political strategy.
If you were a young GOP aide, just imagine getting this email reminding you of Tuesday's regular gathering of the Conservative Working Group, Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week:
From news.yahoo.com: "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. [..]"
But don't laugh folks, Joe is an expert on job creation. Just look at this guy! He went from unlicensed plumber’s assistant to all-knowing economic guru...then Middle East policy genius...also hawker of digital TV converters, and published “author.” All since last October. Is there nothing this man can’t do?
But hey, when you consider the deeply positive impact he had on the McCain campaign, we ought to wish him luck and encourage the Republicans to keep working him into their act.
It will no doubt help them explain how one of their new icons is so much different than people like Tom Daschle or Tim Geithner when it comes to issues like paying taxes, economic stimulus, and Social Security as a value to society...
