GO AWAY, JOE



While concerted Republican attempts to undermine all efforts by the Obama administration to save the economy, and with it the country, might have seemed venal, poisonous, and even verging on treasonous, they took a turn for the totally and maliciously witless yesterday, when the Republican Party actually staged a media event at which Joe the Plumber was rolled out to explain his “economic plan.” This is nothing short of an insult to the intelligence of the majority of American people – the intelligence they clearly demonstrated last November 4th. Something the Republicans should contemplate as they strive to fuck things up.

A couple of day’s ago on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart referred to the Obama economic stimulus package as “revolution insurance.” It seemed extremely apt and something else the Republicans should contemplate as they strive to fuck things up.

The secret word is Wrench

"How are these ruthless, careless ghouls who murdered the economy still walking around (not to mention that sociopathic sadist Bernie Madoff?) — and not as perps? Bring on the shackles. Let the show trials begin." -- Maureen Dowd

That picture isn't Joe the Fucking Plumber, is it? It looks like Michael Chiklis from The Shield.

I dunno. Maybe you're right. I lifted it from Google Images, having no collection of JtheP pics. All these bald white guys look the same to me. Except Rush. He's the fat one.

If there is a God, please make Mick lose that glorious explosion of hair. It's just not fucking fair that I, some 15-odd years his junior, should be a member of the Chrome Dome Club.

Dammit.
