Quiet Resignation

I certainly didn't see this one coming! And haven't really heard anything about it from any other sources.

Joe The Plumber Quitting The GOP: Time Magazine

Stop the presses... (even though we haven't received the press release yet). Time Magazine is reporting - burying rather - the news that Joe the Plumber, also known as Samuel Wurzelbacher, is quitting the GOP. That's big news considering [...]

Amateur Hour

Here's what happens when you send a plumber into a war zone as a TV reporter.  Warning: IT AIN'T PURDY!

Joe Jumps Ship

I know I'm running WAY behind, but it's been a busier-than-usual day.  Plus, I've been lazy! That admission being made, here's one that actually broke yesterday, but is still worth an amazed chuckle. I guess they really weren't BFF's, after all!

Joe the Plumber lashes out: McCain ‘appalled me,’ ‘I wanted to get off the bus.’

Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher has a book coming out later this month, called “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.” He previewed it on Glenn Beck’s radio show, revealing that “a lot of liberals are going to love” some of his criticisms about Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). He was particularly angry about McCain’s support [...]

Heads Will Roll

I'm betting a campaign staffer's going to take the hit for not getting the right information to McCain today.  He did seem a bit more tenuous than he has in other speeches.  Maybe it was the cold weather.  But he did get thrown off course a bit when he tried to introduce Joe the Plumber.  It was a pretty good recovery, though.

McCain forgets that Joe the Plumber isn’t at his rally: ‘Where is Joe?’

At a rally today in Ohio, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) accused Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) of wanting to “spread the wealth.” McCain then summoned Joe the Plumber, who wasn’t even in the audience: McCAIN: That’s only because Joe the Plumber asked [Obama] the right questions right here in Ohio. … Joe’s with us today.

Joe The Plumber Pursued For Record Deal

Move over, Sanjaya, and tell William Hung the news: Joe the Plumber is being pursued for a major record deal and could come out with a country album as early as [...]

All I can do is shake my head. I'm baffled and confused.   At least it proves the American Dream is alive and kicking, despite the economy.

What Does Joe Know?

Apparently, not very much about Middle East politics and Barack Obama. Even Fox News called him on it.

Sheppard Smith blasts Joe the Plumber for saying a vote for Obama means death to Israel

Wow, Sheppard Smith goes after Joe the Plumber for the insane statements he made at an RNC event today about Obama. Will John McCain still be using Joe the Plumber in all his new ads since he's saying Obama will destroy Israel?  [...]

Foot In Mouth

That would be Joe The Plumber with his foot in his mouth. Only he hasn't figured out that it's in there and, apparently, neither has the McCain campaign.  But, amazingly, Fox News got it!

Joe The Plumber Loses Fox News

You know something's screwy when Fox News is defending Barack Obama against smears by "Joe" the "plumber."At an RNC event for John McCain in Ohio earlier today, Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher was confronted by a man in the crowd who asserted that "a vote for Obama would be a vote for the death to Israel." Joe's response:[...]

 

Joe's Back Taxes

It looks like Bloomberg is the first to find the "dirt" on "Joe The Plumber".

Joe the Plumber Owes Back Taxes

UPDATE: It's not just taxes.  Arkansas Times has links to SEVERAL stories that raise some serious questions about good old Joe:

In other words, McCain lost
