- kavendano14, on 01/08/2009, -3/+116Squeeze those ***** 15 seconds
- openthink, on 01/07/2009, -6/+89And after that he's going to head the global task force on economic policy...and when he finishes that (should only take a couple days), he's going to review all current health systems in the developing world. He's also nearly finished with a definitive comparative treatise on the American Presidency and a biography of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. Oh, he's a plumber? Right...he's going to evaluate infrastructure systems in Europe and Asia before returning home in the hope that, finally after all his world-societyal contributions, John McCain will return his calls.
- the8astard, on 01/08/2009, -14/+95One can only hope he becomes "Joe The Hostage".........
- inactive, on 01/08/2009, -4/+82Joe the plumber lowering the standards of mankind one failed job at a time.
- sinuegoist, on 01/08/2009, -1/+69Wait.. this is NOT from The Onion?!
- solmakou, on 01/08/2009, -2/+66in fairness he isn't qualified to be a plumber either.
- mitch37, on 01/08/2009, -3/+57Well im sure he is quallified
- bdfariello, on 01/08/2009, -3/+54Joe the Gimmick strikes again.
- fanclerks, on 01/08/2009, -3/+34This is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard in a while. What kind of credentials could possibly qualify the plumber to be a war correspondent?!
- bigtoes, on 01/07/2009, -5/+34I would love to see Joe the Plumber go to Gaza with Andy Dick & Charo . I think after thousands of years of fighting & hatred we might have found a real break though .
- kanabiis, on 01/08/2009, -6/+35This is absolutely hilarious. Not a single aspect of this mans life is based on truth, anything on record that he has ever said about himself has turned out to be extreme exaggeration, but in most cases just a down right lie. Lets review:
Rather then call himself the already common as hell name given to him at birth, Sam, he enjoys publicly being known as Joe...
Claims to be a plummer.... turns out he was more like the 'gopher' guy for an actual plummer. Kinda like calling yourself a CEO because you once served one coffee at Starbucks. I guess he watched on too many Holiday Inn Express commercials.
Says he was going to buy a plumming business, turns out he's so poor he could barely afford to pay attention let alone purchase a business. When called on it, back tracks and claims his query was just a hypothetical question. Yea...
During his time in the spotlight with the McCain campaign he gave numerous interviews and public appearances singing wide praises for McCain/Palin, when questioned about his motives he claimed he was just doing his patriotic duty as an American. After the election and defeat of McCain, suddenly comes out and claims that he was an abused pawn of the McCain campaign that was sickened by the conduct of the campaign and wished he had never participated, promises a tell all book.
And this is just the start of the list of lies and mistruths surrounding this mans life... and yet someone somewhere actually believes this man has a shred of credibility.
Amazing.... - ludditte, on 01/08/2009, -18/+46Here's hoping for a lucky Hamas rocket.
- SpudgeBoy, on 01/08/2009, -9/+32Well, at least this tax evading no plumber's license looser got a job.
He's worried about people taking his money and he doesn't ***** have any to take.
I am worried about people stealing my Lamborghini. I haven't bought it yet and don't make enough to buy one, but I know somebody is after it. - Dymphna, on 01/08/2009, -3/+25That'd be valid if uh...he actually worked extremely hard for anything
- XenoSNK, on 01/08/2009, -3/+24Does it bother anyone else that this guy's name isn't even really Joe? Like, *****, we get you're an average Joe, but the fact that you're still going by that THIS FAR ALONG is pissing me off.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -3/+24WE'RE TRYING TO
- blackinthmiddle, on 01/08/2009, -2/+23"What qualifications do you need in order to be a war correspondent?"
The same qualifications you need to be a plumber where he lives. - prem444, on 01/08/2009, -2/+23Why is this ***** still around?? This is incredibly retarded...
- blackinthmiddle, on 01/08/2009, -0/+21He's already used up his 15 minutes and has stolen 5 from somebody else.
- inactive, on 01/08/2009, -2/+22Watch out, the way this is going we'll probably have Palin / Joe the Plumber in 2012.
- d3dm, on 01/08/2009, -1/+21The fact that the mainstream media felt it needed to inform people of what Joe the Plumber is now up to is the funniest part of it all. I mean really, who cares?
- GoKings, on 01/08/2009, -5/+24I can only imagine what his first show is gonna be like...
"Yeah there are these uhhhhh A--RABS out here. I'm not sure what these brown guys are whining about. Somethin about some land or somethin. I don't know I'm just a simple guy from the midwest. All that I know is that this is Israel's country and if they don't like it they can just gyeeeeeeeeeeeett out." - greenlight2001, on 01/08/2009, -0/+18Yes. Serve him a cheese wheel.
- Rioracer916, on 01/08/2009, -3/+21Only in America, can a guy like Joe the Plumber and George W. Bush get ahead without actually doing anything of merit.
I predict that he'll somehow screw things up badly. I call it a hunch based on the fact that he barely has any plumbing qualifications, let along journalism qualifications. Luckily, when you screw up in a war zone, you don't come back. - DirtyVicar, on 01/08/2009, -5/+23Who cares? For crying out loud, this horse has been dead for months.
- JacD, on 01/08/2009, -3/+18What a joke. With mediocre screwups like Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, and George W. Bush being elected (or in this case appointed) to positions of such prestige and power, it's a little hard to laugh at President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
- Xynthetik, on 01/08/2009, -1/+16the onion is no longer relevant since real headlines seem more of a parody.
- mushoo, on 01/08/2009, -4/+18Hi kettle!
- billraydrums, on 01/08/2009, -2/+16Hey- a hardcore republican moving to the middle east! This is GREAT news!
Hopefully he'll start a trend...Take Rush, Hannity, and Billo with you, Joe! - K4Lic0, on 01/08/2009, -4/+18What qualifications do you need? The ability to put together complete sentences that make sense. Damn, he's still not qualified.
- eastwood24, on 01/08/2009, -3/+16Really, I mean really.
This conservative web site is trying to add entertainment value to this tragic situation. Go to hell. - superterrorizer, on 01/07/2009, -23/+36I hope he gets run over by a tank...then backed over twice.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 01/08/2009, -2/+14Is he going to repair the plumbing of bombed out buildings?
- kingmanic, on 01/08/2009, -1/+13In related news:
The number of Americans volunteering to be Israeli or Palestinian snipers has skyrocketed. - SpudgeBoy, on 01/08/2009, -0/+12He should get his plumbers license first.
- rocketman42, on 01/08/2009, -1/+12This will give him more foreign-policy experience than Palin.
- assbeard, on 01/08/2009, -3/+14no, retard! he wants the bullet for this man because somehow asking this simple question qualifies him to be a journalist??
- pitdog, on 01/08/2009, -4/+15***** you Joe.
- trer, on 01/08/2009, -1/+12This guy will hit obscurity harder than Tila Tequila, methinks.
- sadesilva, on 01/08/2009, -1/+11A background in journalism and at least somewhat of a decent understanding of current events and world history might help. Definitely an unbiased opinion would be a good thing too...which sadly you, similar to, albeit on the opposite end of the spectrum, all the "millions of Diggers around here" you mention, don't seem to have.
- Dymphna, on 01/08/2009, -4/+14Honest living? If he were actually a qualified plumber at all, I'd give you that, but he isn't. Nor is he qualified for much anything else.
Hmm, I think he may have a job over at Fox 'News' though at this rate! - seaofcheese, on 01/08/2009, -1/+11Why?
- cathpah, on 01/08/2009, -2/+12the only thing this guy worked HARD for, is the media spotlight.
he lied about how much he made, lied about wanting to even buy the plumbing business...and basically just humped the media attention he received because of his line of *****.
he doesn't necessarily deserve a stray bullet, but he sure as ***** doesn't need you trying to defend his "honor" - PhilMoskowitz, on 01/08/2009, -2/+12Underlining the complete farce of America. Life is not a television fantasy you sad sad people. You need to regard your own journalists. Christiane Amanpour, not this lying phony who manufactured a fake life for the last election.
- ebolaworld, on 01/08/2009, -4/+14Dannyboy, Go watch the video of the question and you'll see Obama answered it thoroughly and without pause. Joe almost looked like he was about to give him his vote.
Joe the "Plumber" and John McCain simply embarrassed themselves with that whole debacle. - inactive, on 01/08/2009, -2/+12Sadly enough, he's not even a plumber either. He's just a dude I want to punch in the face.
- facespaz, on 01/08/2009, -2/+11This is so stupid.... conservatives need better icons than fake plumbers...desperately! (too bad this is as good as they get ^^)
- LostOnion, on 01/08/2009, -4/+13Hell has finally frozen over.
