Joe The Plumber To Advise Young Conservatives
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

On Thursday, conservatives will be descending on Washington DC, the place they like to slam the most, to galvanize their mission to take back Congress and the presidency. Reports say this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) will bring in record numbers despite it not being a midterm or presidential election year. According to The Washington Times, 7,000 people attended last year and 9,000 are expected this year.

Last year President Bush and Cheney were the stars of the event. And Mitt Romney chose the conference to announce that he was suspending his campaign. This year, Cheney and Bush are off the agenda, replaced by ghosts of the campaign trail like Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) and documentarian John Ziegler, who has been making the rounds to restore Sarah Palin's self-imposed media debacle with his documentary "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted." And of course Rush Limbaugh will be there as the biggest draw.

Other events include: "Al Franken and ACORN: How Liberals are Destroying the American Election System"; "The Presidential Banquet with Master of Ceremonies: Rep. Michelle Bachmann"; "Bailing Out Big Business: Are We All Socialists Now?"; A book signing with Ann Coulter; "Media in the Obama Era: Is Journalism Dead?"; "The True Cost Of Global Warming Hysteria"; and "Will Congress Take Your Guns?"

1. A veritable Who's Not.
Or, rather, a Who's Who of the bitter, ignorant right.

2. "Bailing Out Big Business: Are We All Socialists Now?"
That's a contradiction...since when has socialism been about bailing out big business?

6. Joe the Author, Plumbing New Lows in Interest
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/26/AR2009022600005.html
Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher signs his new book at the Borders at 18th and L streets NW, where only about a dozen people came to hear him read and only a few stayed afterward to get their copies signed. He says he's done with plumbing and plans to get into construction.

11. You can't make this shit up...
I will have to concede this though, they have certainly provided a constant source of entertainment during their monumental, downward spiral into complete irrelevancy. It's kind of fun to watch actually.

:popcorn:

15. That was my reaction
when I read the titles for the events. These idiots don't need comedians to make fun of them. They are a parody of themselves.

Joe the Plumber was on TV this morning critiquing Obama's speech. Other than not liking it and saying Obama was taking this country in the wrong direction he had nothing constructive of his own to say.

They have no ideas so they just make shit up. :eyes:
