"Joe the Plumber is hitting the campaign trail again! He’s been pressed into service to do a series of events throughout Pennsylvania rallying opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act, the organizer of the events confirms." "Mr. Plumber will speak at rallies against the measure in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia on March 30th and 31st, according to a spokesperson for the anti-EFCA group Americans for Prosperity." "The public loves Joe the Plumber" the spokesperson, Mary Ellen Burke, claimed to me. "They see him as a role model" "Asked whether Joe the Plumber had any particular knowledge or expertise about EFCA that might explain the decision to enlist him, Burke said that he was being enlisted to provide a "grassroots perspective" and "the working perspective" on the measure. "Pressed on whether Joe the Plumber has any particular claim to being a spokesperson on the issue, Burke replied that "he represents the American worker." "Burke couldn’t immediately say whether Joe the Plumber was being paid for his appearances" Joe The Plumber Enlisted To Campaign Against Employee Free Choice Act I'm sure that this wart-like conservative fraud will draw thousands upon thousands of rapt listeners in the traditional union enclaves of Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia. I don't see how Sam is a role model to anyone other than a scam artist or impersonator. | ||

Quote: "he represents the American worker." Does he even have a job? He's a part time plumbers helper. No license, no qualifications. He's too lazy to even file a tax return. He represents the "American worker" to the people who have no idea what an "American Worker" is. | ||

Perception seems to be the key word for Joe. | ||

I accept the fact that some weak-minded Americans found this rubbish to be briefly amusing during the campaign, but enough of the Joe the Plumber bullshit, I say. | ||

Well, I think he *does* represent the American worker. Ol' Joe hasn't worked in months, either. I'm kinda curious to know who's raising his kid while he's flying all over the country. | ||

Agreed Ravine, time is up for Joe's fame. | ||

Joe the Chubbie: Me So Horny So Hammy apparently ain't getting any from the PUMAs, MILFs, or conservative cougars since parlaying his 15 minutes of fame into 15 different alter-egos? | ||

Just like in "Being there" when everyone figured out he was really just a mentally ill gardener. All those prudish frumps there, funny stuff. I'll bet a few jaws flew open. | ||

Not mentally ill...just an average guy thrust into the spotlight and wanting to hang on when he shouldn't. | ||

Implying that I am seeking, or have been, in the public spotlight? | ||

Why would I imply that? | ||

No idea...you don't think this anonymous local forum is what would be considered the public spotlight...do you? | ||

"" just happens to be the grandson of Charles Keating"" He is? | ||
Ccbatson Member Username: Ccbatson Post Number: 19744 Registered: 11-2006 |
Interesting theory (that Joe was a plant). Anything to support that? | ||
Ccbatson Member Username: Ccbatson Post Number: 19745 Registered: 11-2006 |
Don't forget that it wasn't what Joe said/asked that mattered, but Obama's answers that were revealing. Plant, or not, Obama let his true colors slip out at that opportune moment. | ||

I can't find any credible source backing up Joe the Grandson of Keating. Looks like a rumor circulating through blogs. | ||
Ccbatson Member Username: Ccbatson Post Number: 19752 Registered: 11-2006 |
No surprise, and likely a moot point anyway. |
