Can you imagine the desperation of these assclowns?
The ubiquitous Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber” and “Joe the War Correspondent,” will soon add a new moniker to his profile — “Joe the Economist.” Politico reports that House GOP congressional aides decided to invite Wurzelbacher to a meeting on the stimulus in hopes that it will attract some media attention.
Yes, I know, he managed not to get himself killed or kidnapped when he was in Gaza.
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.
Who could have predicted that JTP would be against a stimulus package designed to help him?
Steve Benen comments, “This is what it’s come to for Republican staffers in Congress. In the midst of an economic crisis, and after balking at a stimulus package, the GOP is turning to an unlicensed plumber/campaign prop to discuss legislative strategy on economic policy.”
Palin/Plumber 2012. It’s their only hope.
Got to extend those 15 minutes by any means possible!

Gaza? Joe the Assclown spent a long weekend in Israel, where he concluded that war is dangerous and shouldn't be covered by war correspondents. Palin/Wurzelbacher 2012!
