An American Sarte Is Born

Joe the Plumber is a statement on the state of America.
And not a good one.

I don't know about that. I think most of us are laughing are asses off at him. It's just the nutters that buy into this shit. And it is indeed a sad statement on the state of the nutters. Then again, most of them still defend GWB so we should expect it.
 
there was a time in America, when people rooted for the little guy to succeed.

not anymore it seems.

Why? All it takes is one nutter that bankrolls a bunch of nutter bloggers wanting to get some free ad time for his newly launched youtube inspired video blogging and you end up with quite a nice marketing gimmic: Joe the War Correspondent.

It's all win for him. He uses Joe for free marketing while the sane among us laugh our asses off and the nutters eat it up. He's marketing to the nutters, the only people that would ever read his shitty blog network. And he's getting it for free and he's getting the nutters to stand with him as they identify with Joe (and also the blog network) because of the "attacks" on him.

Nicely played.
 
i LOVE IT.
How dumb are the righties that they want Joe the failed Plumber's apprentice to write a book.
Shit I bet the tool can't spell as good as me.

Yeah, but there comes a point when you must realise that, in the same way all the rooting in the world isn't going to make Verne Troyer the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Joe Plumbers is not exactly cut out for reportage.

I don't think I can wait till his book comes out! Maybe he will come to the Book Revue near where I live. Oh, it's too much to hope for!

I got through about 20 seconds of that.... you owe me 20 seconds... plus one billion dollars for the resulting mental anguish.

from what I see of reporters in this day and age, I don't see where it would take much to be one.

but dumping on Joe the regular little guy is more fun, and then people tell us, we need to all come together..yeah right
 
LOL. It was like watching Karl Mecklenberg on the sideline after he retired and tried his hand at being a sportscaster...

Actually, most reporters on a major network have majored in broadcast journalism, and spent years in local markets working their way up.

Joe was a plumber, who asked a question about taxes, and then was hired as a war correspondent.

You know what we keep forgetting is; he wasn't even a plumber! He was Joe, The Faux Plumber!
 
Some want distorters and not reporters.

They see little joe and think ,Thats all the questions I need asked.

The rest of us actually have real questions and want to know the answers.

Some dont want answers they want confirmation of what soothes their minds in difficult times. They dont want to think new thoughts , they just want to recycle their old thoughts.
 
Joe the Schmoe represents most rednecks I know. The guy's too dense to understand the necessity of a free and independent press, yet there he is on TV trying to be a reporter. Amazing.
