Joe the Plumber advises GOP-ers
Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher – more commonly known as Joe the Plumber — will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.

If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.

“In case you weren’t planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!” Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.

Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com.

5. You Aren't Kidding!
Geez, the guy has ZERO credentials about any major subject. Now, his opinion on macroeconomics is meaningful? What? He's not only not an economist, he's not even a plumber!

A know-nothing is now an advisor to their political strategists?

Sheesh!

9. When in doubt, dumb down
That's the Republican mindset. That's why they think Bush's administration was so great. When your stupid policies don't work, then make them even more stupid. :thumbsup:

8. The New Republican party going through it's birth pangs...
Palin, Limbaugh, Joe the Plummer, Gingrich. All the face of the New Republican party. They're consolidating their base in spite of losing David Duke's support over their 'racism'.

Yeah Limbaugh, you really can't make this stuff up!

:rofl:

11. If he doesn't work out, there's a guy down at the gas station they can use for strategy advice
If need be they could also ask people on random streetcorners for advice too.

12. They think that because Joe is a Deputy Plumber that he
knows his shit. Just like they thought that Sarah knew about Russia or that W knew about anything...

When your Hero has been George Bush for 8 years you can't be too god damned bright.

13. Because no matter how much of an useless ignoramus, the moment you call yourself "Conservative"...
is the moment you become an expert on military, economic, political science, and theological issues.

E.g.: The fiscal brilliance that haunts the pages of FRee Republic...the sheer number of magnates posting on those pages must be staggering.

15. The Republican Party represented the son of a single mom who worked his ass off
to get a quality education, married the daughter of a working-class family and has two beautiful children, he's represented as an elitist, and they turn to Joe the Plumber to lead the way.
You can't make this stuff up.
