This gets filed under WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By now, we are familiar with Joe the Plumber.
Well those of us in the States. I pray he hasn't infected my out of the country friends. :o

This is my observations about Joe.

Joe the Plumber seems to be getting a new name.

Joe the Plumber/the Writer/the Singer/the Politician/the Diplomat/the Celebrity.

Joe, which happens to be his middle name, who is not a licensed plumber, is shopping for a book deal and for a Country and Western singing career, with the help of Aaron Tippen and others, and is considering running for Congress, and likes to talk to reporters about Diplomacy, as in if Obama becomes President he feels that will be the death of Israel, and because all celebrities need an agent, he is in the market for one of those too. (sorry for the run on sentence :p)

In my opinion, Joe is the Joe the SixPack version of Paris Hilton. Another case of, why the hell is this person a celebrity??????????

I have heard, vaguely, of Joe the Plumber. It doesn't surprise me that he's got celeb status. These days, kids just want to be famous, but not for anything in particular. Celebrity status is devalued. I wouldn't worry, once his 15 minutes are over everyone will forget him again. Unless, of course, he manages to find a very astute agent.

Sorry about that. lol.......

Oh honey, its avoidance

Oh because everyone gets his or her five minutes of fame, and then get tossed under the bridge therefore a lifetime movie can be made and the ex-celebrity can retire peacefully.

Because people are stupid.

I think he's a "celebrity" because he expresses the concerns of many people on the right of the political spectrum about the possibility of what would happen should Obama become President. He dared to question The Messiah when the Left Wing Lemmings in the media couldn't be bothered. Then again, differing viewpoints don't deserve any attention, do they?

I find nothing to disagree with in what you wrote. Celebrity endorsments should be taken for the highly biased things they are. Both of the political extremes scare me when I think that large groups of voters actually listen to them.
I was only trying to answer the question...hot trying to be harsh on Jon or paint him as one of the "non-thinkers", which he definately isn't.
Our media has created a fear-based society already. They don't need any more encouragement.

Tell Oprah to be quiet too.

I was not happy when Oprah added her two cents in. She's never done it before why now? Call me racist, but threw her weight behind the first viable Black candidate.

[owlstorm_9]

(only my opinion)
The only reasons people are voting for Obama is because he's Black and he's not a Republican like John McBush is...

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Well seeing as I was a Hillary guy, I will give you the fact that he's not a Republican like McCain. lol...

[owlstorm_9]

OK.
*gets off soapbox*

LOL...................

I am one Leftie that doesn't see The Messiah any where around the election stump. :p
I just see this generations JFK.
Let's hope this generations Marilyn isn't waiting in the wings. Ugh.......

[owlstorm_9]

...or that this "JFK"'s presidency doesn't end the same way...

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

You can sure say that again.

PLEASE don't let my little confused man go bonkers. He's on the edge I think of getting bad. :(:(:(

*hands Jon the big rubber mallet....just in case.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I so wish that was an option. :)

I guess I don't care if they endorse them, but I just wish people wouldn't be dumb enough to blindly follow those endorsements.

I so agree with you about the Simpson girls. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
