Pity the young Republican Congressional aide.

You went to the right schools, you used your family connections, you made all of the right contacts, you work long hours while putting yourself through law school, and you allow yourself to be passed around like a prison bitch at Heritage Foundation events…and then you have to put up with this:

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.

Kimberly Wallner is that person in the classroom who always reminded the teacher that there was supposed to be a test when it was obvious the teacher had forgotten.

If Joe doesn’t bite the head off of a chicken or teach them to make armpit farts to make the morning worthwhile, the rest of the aides are going to trap Kimberly in the bathroom later on and beat the shit out of her.
