Joe the Plumber calls to ‘start shooting’ immigrants at the border
At two separate events in recent days, Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher has proposed to “put a damn fence on the border going to Mexico and start shooting.” Wurzelbacher first made the remarks during a campaign rally for Arizona Republican state Rep. Lori Klein on Friday, according to video published…
‘Joe the Plumber’ claims gun control caused the Holocaust
Republican Ohio congressional candidate Samuel “Joe The Plumber” Wurzelbacher released a campaign video on Tuesday, in which he warns that “gun control” led to the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. “In 1911, Turkey established gun control,” Wurzelbacher points out as he places several shells in a 12-gauge shotgun. “From 1915…
The IQ of the base of the GOP has dropped even lower than we thought
As one of the diarists at my pad said, this guy makes Joe the Plumber look like a Nobel Laureate. I mean, Jeebus H. Christ on a cracker…has this poor gentleman had a severe head injury or something? There has to be something organically awry with him. I know we…
College Republicans: Now With Even More Alienation From Their Peers
University of Toledo College Republicans to “reclaim the campus” with Joe the Plumber, because nothing signals a successful ideological coup like the leadership of a former political celebrity. It explains why Providence, Rhode Island is run by Jessica Cutler’s iron fist, the only interruption in the city’s otherwise peaceful, safe…
It Is Time For Puppies To Start Licking The Tears Of Babies
This is just a small, nagging thing that’s been bothering me about the healthcare debate. Politics 101 says that when you’re discussing something, you use actual stories to stress the importance of the position. It’s why McCain latched onto Joe the Plumber, it’s why we are all faking injuries in…
Joe the Horny Plumber: ‘I don’t know everything about everything’
Please let this bumblef*ck run for office – he’s a conservative gift that keeps on giving. Joe the Plumber’s on the road in blue collar territory, paid for by the anti-labor group Americans for Prosperity, ostensibly to represent opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) (H.R. 1409, S. 560) . Perhaps…
The Red Badge Of Plumbage
After Joe the Plumber engaged in the world’s finest act of Pyrrhic journalism, it seemed almost indefensible. Emphasis on almost. Power Line’s review of the Wurzelbacher Wurlitzer is positively glowing, especially for a guy who looked out of his element because he couldn’t find his lucky 1990 New York Giants…
The Plumber Catches A Flight
Pajamas Media was set up as an online enterprise that would change journalism forever and ever, amen. I believe that goal has finally been accomplished: Joe The Plumber is putting down his wrenches and picking up a reporter’s notebook. The Ohio man who became a household name during the presidential…
The Roto Rooter Of The Soul
Joe the Plumber, in addition to being quite possibly one of the most desperate attention whores on the planet, is also an ungrateful desperate attention whore, a fact that is shaking our nation to its very core. Wurzelbacher told conservative radio host Glenn Beck that he felt “dirty” after “being…
A Dichotomy Of Violence
The left are evil, terrible people who refer to things that actually happened in ways that are less than flattering. Ergo, Barack Obama will kill his grandmother because she wouldn’t sign over the original copy of his Indonesian birth certificate (or something). I hate these fucking people. UPDATE: Redstate says…
