Joe Wurzelbacher, please tell me that the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) is not paying you to be an adviser to young people at its conference this week. Or to advise anybody, for that matter, on anything but plumbing.
At right: Would you take political advice from this man?
Alert news-watchers will recall that plumber Joe Wurzelbacher rocketed to stardom via an idiotic on-camera question to candidate Barack Obama, after which then-candidate McCain adopted him like a son and mentioned him or brought him along to every campaign stop as a stand-in for the "everyman" his party has heretofore pointedly shunned.
Joe is no dummy. Well, not in the "making money off your 15 minutes of fame department." He's milking it for all it's worth. This showing at CPAC (see video here) gives him a chance to join fellow would-be 2012 candidates Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal in the far right wing of the GOP. And when I say far right, I mean far out beyond the reach of reason or fact.
Joe says he'll consider "six years" when his son graduates from college. SENATOR Joe the Plumber? Say it ain't so, Joe.
CPAC also features Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin and is expected to draw record numbers of attendees. You scratch the sensitive elephant's skin, and he gets MAD! And anger, of course, is what always motivates conservatives. That's why Rush is their hero. He makes up stuff for them to be mad about and whips them into a frenzy about his fantasies. Are we sure Rush isn't still getting a rush from illegal drugs? It's the only way I can think of to explain the things he says.
Sheesh.
