Joe the Plumber Becomes Joe the War Correspondent

Oy vey.

Enough. The time has come to put Joke the Plumber on the Cosmic Ignore List.

Would putzschmerz work?

Maybe, but I’m sticking with softly weeping until the Germans come through.

I know this is a couple of days old now, but I assume he might have meant Bill Maher. Whatever your opinion of Bill Moyers, you can’t argue that he’s breaking out of a career in the entertainment industry to suddenly pretend he’s interested in world events, unlike his other examples.

Kriegschwein.

For those who remember…:smiley:

Meh. If you’ve seen one flugenflammenschwein, you’ve seen them all.

Isn’t that enough?

I long for the day when Joe the Plumber becomes Joe the Unknown or just “who?”.

Basically, the answer to a trivia question.

If we are lucky, it will be considered a difficult question in an advanced category.

I’ll take “People Who Fell Into Industrial Aluminum Crimping Machines” for $1000, Alex.

You know, there was a time when only mobsters had nicknames like Joe the Plumber.

:smiley:

Thanks, I needed that.

Joe The Dibber?

If, following Hurricane Katrina, Fuji TV had decided to send over a member of Morning Musume so they could film her flouncing around Louisiana in 20 pounds of plastic Hello Kitty accessories pretending to be a reporter by asking inane questions in fractured English to evacuees whose houses had been flooded or destroyed, I wouldn’t blame any NO residents one bit for finding her presence offensively insulting. I also don’t blame anyone in Israel or Palestine for looking at JtP the same way.

He’s kind of like the American Borat, except I don’t think he’s in on the joke. At least by being kept out of Gaza, he’s less likely to inadvertently get anyone hurt (I honestly couldn’t give a crap about his own well-being).
