A carnival performer who bites the heads off chickens and snakes is a geek; the word is most likely a northern English variant of an older word, geck, meaning a simpleton or one who is deceived. It can also be verb, meaning to deceive, to cheat.

Thank Noah Webster that even without that carnival job, Joe can still proudly call himself a geek, you know, to impress his buddies.

I’m going to vote for this guy. Bush wasn’t dumb enough for me. McCain, probably dumber than Bush, but still not dumb enough for me. Palin, dumber than Bush and McCain, but still not dumb enough for me. I want me some Joe the Plumber — Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest, and Dumbass.

And exactly the kind of guy I would expect John McCain to “pal around with.”

Putting your country first by putting your head up your…Dumbass.

Led by Palin and Dumbass the Plumber in a few years the New Republican Party will consist of a bunch of semi-literate, totally ignorant yokels who will make Bush look like Adlai E. Stephenson II by comparison.

Could it be that the GOP is setting out on a path to suicide? We can only hope so.

That could have been a new Fox reality show, America’s Biggest Dumbass. Too bad the McCain campaign beat them to it.

Still a week to go, though. They could unleash Lieberman or Lindsay.

You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, how does it feel
To be such a freak?
And you say, “Impossible!”
As he hands you a bone

There’s something happening here and you don’t know what it is, do you Mr. Joe?

That’s quite an interview.
Shorter Joe: “I’m thick as two short planks and couldn’t point to Israel on a map but I encourage the 101st Keyboarders™ to get right on this and back me up here”.

Meanwhile, I’m sure the McCain people are happy to have Joe on the campaign trail with them because bringing in a “maverick” who doesn’t know the meaning of the phrase “message discipline” is exactly what they need at this point.

Ya think Joe will be shocked when his new rethug friends don’t return his phone calls on November 5th?

I long for the days when we had an undisputed stupidest fucking guy on the planet.

This is how dumb I am: I had no idea the continued security of a Jewish state in the Middle East was so heavy on the minds of America’s midwestern plumbers!

Man, are people going to be disappointed when they find out that JtP isn’t the guy who plays The Thing.

I had always pegged Joe the Blow for being dumb. What stunned me was seeing a Faux news type have at this clown in such a jolly manner!

Great. All we need. Four years of jokes about the “crack team” from the White House…

While Joe the Dumbass is an exceptionally stupid individual, I still go with General Franks’ Designated Stupidest Fucking Guy On The Planet. Joe does not have the depth and breadth of Feith’s world-class asshattery.

Cause a half-million deaths, Joe, then we’ll talk.

Joe took one look at Sarah Palin and said “how hard could it be?” Maybe they can start a third party the Dumbfuckistans.

In our local paper today, it said the Republican campaign is paying for Joe to have a press secretary and an “advance” person. He’s writing a book about American values, too. Quite a lot of attention for an imbecile, no? Who makes this stuff happen? The Republican campaign party is so pathetic that they will drag some lunkhead out of a crowd and make him a spokesman for the party? I wish I could say it surprised me that they would stoop so low, but apparently they haven’t even gotten to “low” yet.

Rob Portman was the guy who used to be the Republican congresscritter holding down the seat in Ohio’s Second District. Bush picked him to be the US trade rep in 2005 because that seat was the safest Republican seat in the country, and Bush figured that the Republicans would have an easy time holding it.

They reckoned without Paul Hackett and the netroots.

In less than a month, Hackett went from an unknown to the guy who came within four percentage points of keeping Jean Schmidt out of Congress. And even though he didn’t win, his coattails and the high voter turnout he occasioned swept a number of levies into law, thus making the OH-02 CD a better place than before he started his campaign.

Joe the Dumbass will be running for his local city council in no time. He’s had a taste of the spotlight and will not be able to go back to just unclogging drains when all this is over. Let’s hope his neighbors all know he’s a stupid shit and laugh him off the stage. Too bad for his adolescent son that Joe didn’t quit while he was ahead, though — he’ll have to drop out of junior high to avoid the humiliation.

He’s writing a book about American values, too.

Awesome. Lying, tax evasion, and fraud (working without the required training and licenses) ARE Republican Values, personified!

Remember, Joe is but a prop, and will be discarded soon. The Faux guy was just having a bit of upperclass fun by yanking the chain of his obvious social inferior; Faux guys are like that but usually they keep it out of the spotlight. The stories are so fun to regale his club buddies with over a snifter of fine cognac.
