Quoting Mortyman (Thread starter): “Joe the Plumber” now “Joe the War Correspondent” |
Quoting Mt99 (Reply 1): What is going to happen to the plumbing business that he was about to buy with his hard earned work? Oh that's right... |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 3): Quoting Mt99 (Reply 1): What is going to happen to the plumbing business that he was about to buy with his hard earned work? Oh that's right... That's what I was thinking. I guess the plumbing gig didn't work out after all. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 8): At least he no longer has to worry about his wealth being redistributed if he ever became wealthy. |
Quoting Luv2fly (Reply 7): What McCain or Palin had no type of job for him! |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 6): I guess the second you earn your living doing manual labor you forever precluded from anything else. Typical. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 10): ...and Hamas can keep Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 12): I've laid out bodies in a morgue and I've been a barker in a strip club - but I've also lived the high life in Beverly Hills. mariner |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 14): I was being sarcastic. You should have seen good ol Wolf Blitzer he actually looked offended that someone like Joe the Plumber would dare be a news guy. It was disgusting. |

Quoting Mariner (Reply 15): I'm offended that Joe the Plumber thinks he could be a news guy. He's never trained for it, he's got no experience of it in his resume and we know he has no objectivity. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 15): I'm offended that Wolf Blitzer is a news guy, but at least he trained for it and he has experience and I'm even more offended that Sean Hannity is considered a news guy by some. He's a biased political entertainer. |
Quoting StasisLAX (Reply 16): How bout "Joe, your 15 minutes of fame is up!" |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 18): So Caroline Kennedy has never held a political job in her life but she is getting nothing but passes from everyone and will probably be picked to be NY's new Senator. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 18): Wolf isn't biased? |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 18): I mean the entitlement just oozes out of these people. I love how threatened you feel by this guy. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 18): Well as long as CNN tries to knock the guy it isn't. I guarantee you CNN runs with this and tries in some way to discredit him. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 18): I love how threatened you feel by this guy. |
Quoting Dougloid (Reply 20): I'm having trouble figuring out whether you think Joe da War Correspondent is a suspect or a victim. I think Joe's got an eye for the main chance and fooling around in the middle east is probably better duty than thawing frozen pipes in the middle of a Toledo winter-or owning a plumbing shop that sends guys out to thaw frozen pipes in the middle of a Toledo winter. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 18): I listened to Anderson Cooper before whine that some Australian politician is the one who is making Obama stay in a hotel and why couldn't they kick him out and let Obama stay. I mean the entitlement just oozes out of these people. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 19): You make astonishing leaps of the mind. |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 23): Anderson Cooper is a 3rd generation Vanderbilt. How could he not ooze some kind of entitlement? |
Quoting WellHung (Reply 24): Joe is not a "journalist". |
Quoting WellHung (Reply 24): I imagine in several months he will be paraded around right-wing circles as the "savior" of Israel and several unnamed posters here will be lined up to clean out his plumber's crack with their tongues. |
Quote: Wurzelbacher will travel to Israel to report for the conservative website, pjtv.com. He intends to get the, often lost, Israeli reason for the offensive against Hamas. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 19): We're talking about newspeople, not politicians. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 19): Threatened? You make astonishing leaps of the mind. I am amused by it. |
Quoting Dougloid (Reply 20): I'm having trouble figuring out whether you think Joe da War Correspondent is a suspect or a victim. I think Joe's got an eye for the main chance and fooling around in the middle east is probably better duty than thawing frozen pipes in the middle of a Toledo winter-or owning a plumbing shop that sends guys out to thaw frozen pipes in the middle of a Toledo winter. Parenthetically, commie queer though I may be I see a lot of myself in Joe-only because unlike some people here I have blue collar working class roots and I've never forgotten them. How are your working class credentials? |
Quoting Baroque (Reply 22): Mmm, any chance that Paris HIlton will become a war zone presenter? |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 23): Give the guy at least a little credit...he quite easily could have ended up being just another rich gay son on Entertainment Tonight |
Quoting WellHung (Reply 24): I imagine in several months he will be paraded around right-wing circles as the "savior" of Israel and several unnamed posters here will be lined up to clean out his plumber's crack with their tongues. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 28): Don't both do a job? |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 28): What does she have to do with this? |
Quoting Canuckpaxguy (Reply 5): Isn't this guy's "15 minutes" up yet? |
Quoting Pyrex (Reply 11): Especially considering the amount of houses McCain owns, you would have thought at least one of them would be having plumbing problems. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 28): Quoting WellHung (Reply 24): I imagine in several months he will be paraded around right-wing circles as the "savior" of Israel and several unnamed posters here will be lined up to clean out his plumber's crack with their tongues. Wow I just found someone who is more scared of this guy than Anderson Cooper. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 28): Why call him "da War" anything? Why the insult? |
Quoting Dougloid (Reply 32): Joe da Victim |
Quoting Dougloid (Reply 32): You didn't tell me about your working class cred, though |
Quoting WellHung (Reply 24): I imagine in several months he will be paraded around right-wing circles as the "savior" of Israel and several unnamed posters here will be lined up to clean out his plumber's crack with their tongues. |
Quoting Dougloid (Reply 32): You didn't tell me about your working class cred, though. I mean, I'm blue collar to the core and I think I have a pretty good idea of what makes Joe tick. Do you? |
Quoting WellHung (Reply 33): He brought a backpack on a boat once. He's a longshoreman. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 29): Opinion is anyone's guess and any ol' Joe can become a politician |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 35): Well if some reject like Al Franken can it just proves that anyone can, |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 6): Glad to see the same sentiment here as on CNN when they ran the piece. So much entitlement. How dare he try to be a correspondant! I guess the second you earn your living doing manual labor you forever precluded from anything else. Typical. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 15): I'm offended that Joe the Plumber thinks he could be a news guy. He's never trained for it, he's got no experience of it in his resume and we know he has no objectivity. |
Quoting Mirrodie (Reply 39): As some stated, its not even his experience, as that can be acquired |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 35): Well if some reject like Al Franken can it just proves that anyone can, even if your name is not Kennedy and you can just make a phone call. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 40): You complain because Caroline Kennedy may - stress "may" - get selected to be a Senator but you also complain because Al Franken is elected a Senator. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 40): But you cheer because Joe the Plumber gets a job for which he has zero experience and only a teensy weensy moment of celebrity. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 41): He will pick her. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 41): I have never cheered him |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 41): I got my popcorn and I am going to sit back and watch this guy get bigger and bigger while the Aristocrats and Poppy Babcock cry foul because his blood isn't blue. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 42): He may. I cannot predict the future. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 42): You give a good impression of it |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 42): getting bigger and bigger" reads like cheering him on to me. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 44): I guess I am cheering him. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 44): In reality I am cheering the fact he irks the lot of you and CNN in addition to hoping he only gets bigger so that vein in you neck gets bigger. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 40): But you cheer because Joe the Plumber gets a job for which he has zero experience and only a teensy weensy moment of celebrity. |
Quoting Mariner (Reply 45): You're cheering the fact that he gets a job for which he is totally unqualified when that same job could go to someone who might actually deserve it. |
Quoting NIKV69 (Reply 47): Oh my this has really gotten to you hasn't it? You hate this guy so much for the same reason you hate Palin. |
