"The Karl Rove of the Commode" speaks out against stimulus plan
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 05:14 AM by Bluebear
Call it a pipe dream come true: When members of the Conservative Working Group held their weekly strategy meeting on the Hill on Tuesday morning, they were joined by none other than Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher, who had come to offer his thoughts on the economic recovery bill.

The Senate staffers who showed up at 9 a.m. for the closed-door meeting refused to leak the contents of their discussion with the tradesman-cum-strategist, but Wurzelbacher himself revealed that the advice they soaked up was just good, old-fashioned “common sense.”

Wurzelbacher opposes the stimulus and said he questioned why the government can’t just cut its bills like other people do. He also advised staffers to take a harder line on the legislation: “Republicans on the Hill are afraid of saying too much,” he noted.

Further recommendations from the Karl Rove of the Commode included having “someone go in there and kick some ass.”

1. I fully expect the GOP to claim they are "listening to the people" because Joe the Tool ...
... spoke at their little meeting.

Of course, they won't say that Joe the Tool is a creation of their propaganda ministry.

2. When in doubt, lower your expectations
It seems that Hannity and Limpballs are too well educated to speak for the Repub base. But Joe will do while the powers that be search for an ancephalic who can REALLY represent the average conservative.
