Thumbs down Does anyone really give a shit about Joe the Plumber?

So I heard this genius got a paid trip to Israel to "report" on the fighting......and they think I'm going to read what he says? Get f'in real. The fact that this guy still gets any play shows how stupid most Americans are.

Who the fuck is Joe the Plumber? Anything like Dora the Explorer? Or Tyrone the Crackhead?

No matter the answer, I still won't care

"To be honest with you, I don't think journalists should be anywhere allowed war [sic]. . . . I liked back in World War I and World War II, when you'd go to the theater and you'd see your troops on the screen and everyone would be real excited and happy for them. Now everyone's got an opinion and wants to down soldiers—our American soldiers, our Israeli soldiers. I think media should be abolished from reporting."

Joe the "Plumber"

Um...Ok. So you went to the middle east why? To report on how there should be no reporting from war zones?

I give it three months before he shows up in gay porn.

Nope. Actually, TV or radio, everytime "Joe the Plumber" came up, the channel got changed in this house.

The guy who wasn't a plumber and now is doing what he said that people shouldn't be doing?

There are a small percentage of people who will be exposed to national attention, who will then do just about anything in order to stay in the limelight.

Pretty sure he was a plumber... The deal was he wasn't licensed or some shit... which doesn't matter cause his boss was, blah, blah, blah... Not that any of that shit mattered... the media drug that dude through the mud like he was running for office. Fuck the media.
