2. My best friend's dad owned JTP

Very cool. I'm honored to know that guy.

5. LOL - the ending is priceless!

making fun of Joe for not knowing a damn thing, then having the lowly blogger have a good question to which he gets no answer because this moran has no answers just says it all! He IS what's wrong with celeb culture - because he's supposedly a political celeb - but for WHAT - getting snippy with Senator Obama on the trail because he wasn't able to have everything his way? What a jerk!

6. He is indicative of the intellectual acumen of the typical working class Republican.

Daily I hear working class people who berate the Democratic Party as a socialist conspiracy that is going to confiscate their hard earned wealth and give it to lazy undeserving people. It is just another take on Reagan's mythical "welfare queen" that was living the life of luxury while "real Americans" were being taxed to support her life style.

The Republicans are masters of propaganda. They convinced the majority of even Democrats that unions were bad for them and that they would take good care of them. They took good care of them all right. They outsourced their jobs, cut their pensions and canceled their health insurance. I meet a person yesterday that is a prime example of these blockheads. His employer cutting his salary by 20% and guess who he is blaming for his predicament. I hate to say it but,I don't feel one bit sorry for some of these people.

I used to argue with these people but it just wasn't worth it. They will only get it when they are destitute and even then many won't be able to grasp the situation.

7. Unfortunately this is the truth. This is what our nation has become

8. If we made Joe his own video game where he's a plumber and gets to rescue

Palin dressed as a princes would he go away?

10. Sorry, but I don't see him as a celebrity.

Sure there are some similarities between true celebrity and what has happened to Joe.

But he is just a shill repubs used for their own ends. Namely to try to convince people that the repubs stand for the 'little guy,' when nothing could be further from the truth. He has done NOTHING to deserve his 'celebrity.'

11. He's another Republican flop k*r

They're desperate.

Mike Huckabee, "cool" guy, plays guitar but - oops - he let a rapist out of jail who then proceeded
to kill his rape victim. Becomes "The Minister of Death" instead of Mr. Fun.

Mitt Romney, more than another crash test dummy, this guy won the Mass Gov's race. He's handsome,
spoke well -- and a real goof ball.

McCain & Palin - nuff said

Bobby Jhindal - oh, please have him run - the guy is not only goofy, he tells tall tales, quite callously.

What will they do now, re-animate McKinley?

12. Aren't Joe's 15 minutes of fame about up?
