It’s a damned shame that with all the connectivity built into a Kindle that it can’t fact-check while it’s at it.

Sam the Not Joe Not the Plumber gives bald men a bad name.

… and plumbers, and people named Sam and people named Joe and people from Ohio, and Americans in general, and… Shit, even your average terrorist as gotta be a bit embarrassed here: that’s the face of the Great Satan? An ignorant couch potato with a silly smirk on his ugly mug? Does nothing for recruiting among the wanna-be martyrs.

Dude, he looks really stoned in that picture.

Meanwhile, the ghost of Andy Warhol appeared today and wailed ‘What the fuck?”

WHAT, pray tell, makes Joe the Plumber a “truly great American”? Is it because the lying dumbkoff has his lips planted firmly on the butts of Hannity and Palin?

If this book makes it to the NYT’s best seller list, this country is officially in the toilet.

Stop splashing . . . damn those bulk buys anyway . .

“Joe exemplifies how one man speaking up can make a difference. He is a great American- Sean Hannity”

And Joe made a difference..how exactly? The bitter old man he supported went down in flames, he went to Israel, annoyed the Israeli’s for a couple of days, then came back and did a couple of video tapes that were incoherent at best. What a great American! By that definition, I believe my living room sofa is a great American.

To me, his expression says, plainly, “I just took a really excellent dump.”

Cosmo Castorini, the plumber & father in Moonstruck, played by the great Vincent Gardenia, would approve of the Obama remodel:

“It costs money, because it saves money!”

Sillyopism:

1. Joe is a great American. He made a difference.
2. But you brought up facts to argue that he is not.
3. Following Corddry (2004) and Colbert (2006), facts have a well-known liberal bias.
4. Therefore you’re just showing your obvious liberal bias.
5. Why do you look down your elitist nose at Joe the Great American?

It is the wingnut publishing equivalent of Dirk Diggler recording an album. Except Dirk had more talent.

The editorial comments on Amazon are enough to make you barf.

Why are we suddenly talking about George Bush? Weren’t we talking about Joe the Unplumber?

I swear this guy will be bottoming in gay porn before the decade is over…

I’m guessing the Garry Wills review in The New York Review of Books is gonna be trenchant on this one!

I feel the same way about this after I commented on Michelle Malkin on the forum a few months ago after TBogg posted that O’Reilly substitute clip. How come the conservative corners of the world have a tendency to promote and idolize people that are not talented in anything?? The only type of non-political parallel outrage I feel is when my remote batteries die and I have to watch a cable reality show for more than a second. Why are we being forced to recognize the lives of these people?

Is it such a liberal, elitist thing to ask for general competency, coherence, or charisma in actors in our political discourse? Because otherwise I can’t understand how conservatives have to rally around such losers as their spokespeople.

Anyone else flash on “cock headed man whore” Guckert?

Me.

Yes.

Actually, having an IQ higher than room temperature is elitist. So is knowing how to spell “elitist”.

I’m just waiting for the day when the wingnut bloggers decide that computer literacy is elitist, and to be true to their “philosophy”, they all have to kill themselves (or at least cut back on the Cheetos).

Because, once again in the weird space-time dimension that the republicans and the wingnuts live in, things are they way they want them to be, not the way they really are. If we close our minds (and eyes) and hold our breath, and wish REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, hard, things will be they way we want.

Republicans – just like a cult, but without all the hard-nosed critical thinking that cults usually require of their sycophants followers…

ceabaird,

Obviously you also heard Rush solemnly assure his dittoheads today that “the majority of Americans still believe in conservative principles”. I’m thinking, gee Rush, you sure about that? After 8 years of the Bush regime?

Holy moly, wingnuttia has truly entered the batshit dimension.

Wait. What difference did he make?

It has been my impression from here over the pond, that American right wing commentators do not have a lot of respect for the intelligence of their audience. Or respect for their audience full stop. So they pick up on morons like Palin and “Joe the Plummer”, praise them to the heavens because they believe that this idiots will resonant with their dumb readership/watchers/listeners. The poor smucks like Palin etc al start to believe they are are the bees knees and eventually make monumental fools of themselves, meanwhile the commentators just sit back laughing at the stupidity of the masses, possibly while torturing small fluffy kittens.
