At least the flannel shirt had intact sleeves.

ah…perhaps his 15 minutes of fame are finally ending.

About a month ago, Thom Hartmann brought Joe The Horny (then doing his victory lap from the Pajamas Media Middle East Tour) on his national program, but had decided beforehand that rather than treat him as the People’s Journalist he was being touted as, he’d instead ask plumbing questions, ostensibly to make the correct ironic point that he had no business influencing wingnut popular opinion, which as we all know, bleeds quickly into the corporate media.

And “Joe” was apparently completely unaware of the ironic tone of the interview. I found myself almost sorry for him, because he was simply so bone-stupid that he had no idea he was being pwned. Anyway, one of the questions was suggested, IIRC, by one of Thom’s Portland local show co-hosts—did “Joe” find himself besieged by the romantic attentions of the women of the Middle East? He answered, a little hesitantly, that he wasn’t quite sure, but perhaps so.

I think this latest in a series of “Joe’s Greatest Moronicisms” is probably simply that question, gone to his head, and resulting in the hope for a list of booty call phone numbers he could avail himself of in his travels.

It makes a degree of sense; from the best to the worst of us, it’s possible to find oneself aroused at an inopportune moment, and Joe clearly couldn’t identify an inopportune moment with an Audobon guide specializing in abstract concepts and the awkward silence of a room full of hypersensitive loons.

You know, I never have seen or heard (OK, just checked wiki) of a Mrs. Joe the Plumber.  So just give him Ann or Michelle’s number or Jonah’s.

Nauseous? Nah. Try horny! Conservatives who say wildly inappropriate things are such a turn-on.

It seems like the “Joe” phenomenon might be close to done.  Now we can wait in schadenfreudenous anticipation of him unthinkingly spewing out some irredeemably sexist or racist comment that will finally seal his fate.

It’s about frakking time…

It’s just too bad he can’t take The Palin Bunch with him…

Please, please, please, keep him on the public stage as a prominent face of conservatism.

I almost feel bad for him. He’s just another in a long line of useful idiots picked up, used, and subsequently abandoned by the Conservative public relations arm. They know he doesn’t have the chops for this sort of shit, that he’s merely a jester they bring in to entertain “luminaries [such as] G. Gordon Liddy, former Attorney General Ed Meese, radio talk show host Mark Levin, Fox News’ Brit Hume and former House speaker (for half a minute) Bob Livingston.”

And unlike with Jonathan Krohn, the GOP’s Li’lest Pundit, there will never be a serious effort at education or cultivation for Wurzelbacher – no wingnut welfare beyond the tour de farce at Pajamas Media.

What ‘Joe’ fails to understand is that he is not, nor will he ever be, “their kind of people.”

Yes I threw up in my mouth a little at reading he was horny. The thought of this douche mating brings thoughts of the movie Idiocracy to mind.

It’s fire sale time- he’s advertising for every last perk he can squeeze out of this thing before his 15 minutes expires.

I think asking him plumbing questions would be a really great idea - and have a representative from a plumbers union explaining exactly why the advice was wrong (and why you should hire a union plumber).

I suspect that he was there to make it look like the rest of the luminaries were actually speaking intelligently.

All the same, I’m thinking Sissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn eating baloney here.

Pam, I just saw you on Logo News!

You say that like any right-winger has ever lost their notability just for their racism or sexism.

“About a month ago, Thom Hartmann brought Joe The Horny (then doing his victory lap from the Pajamas Media Middle East Tour) on his national program, but had decided beforehand that rather than treat him as the People’s Journalist he was being touted as, he’d instead ask plumbing questions”

How did he do with the plumbing questions?
Does he know as little about plumbing as he does every thing else?

Well, that clear podium isn’t gonna hide anything.

Up next: an anti-gay diatribe based on male and female plumbing fittings.  See?  Male and male or female and female means everything leaks!

As Amanda has pointed out many times on this site, folks like Sam Wurzelbacher aren’t really rednecks.

They’re just privileged, upper middle class useful idiots posing as rednecks.

“privileged, upper middle class “

Not Joe. He is actually barely white trash. His family was on welfare twice and he is a tax dodger.

“useful idiots”
Wheter he is useful to the Republicans or the Democrats is a topic for debate.

Am I the only one who thinks that Wurzelbacher’s reaction, even if a little TMI, was absolutely appropriate for a publicity, uh, hound faced with a huge crowd of apparently approving fans? If he were any number of mid-to-upper-level crass-schtick comedians that line would have played just fine.

To borrow a line from Forest Gump, Stupid is as stupid does and that I believe totally sums up Joe the plumber.

Pam, I just saw you on Logo News!

Time Warner Cable down here doesn’t carry LOGO, so I can’t see how the interview turned out. Is it online?

Ms. Kate, if the fittings don’t pair up, you just need an adapter.  Or some welding gear, but that might be uncomfortable.

Eeeeeuwwww.  Thanks a lot Paul - I just had a picture of Joe the Plumber humping somebody’s leg.  Which about sums him up - right?
