Oof. Looks like Joe the Plumber’s campaigning against the Employee Free Choice Act in Pennsylvania didn’t go so well.

...

Here’s some video of the grilling Mr. Plumber took from the group, Keystone Progress, which prompted the irritated plumber to respond: “I know a little about a lot of things. But I don’t know a lot about everything.”

Pressed on the specifics of the law, Mr. Plumber repeatedly refused to answer, and finally lost his cool, telling his questioner: “Drop it, brother, drop it. I never said I was an expert, man.”

Meanwhile, the Patriot News reports that union members who were bussed to the rally jeered and heckled Mr. Plumber.

“Rat! Rat! Rat!” some shouted. Another yelled: “Real plumbers are for card check!”

According to the Patriot News, Mr. Plumber admitted at one point that he hadn’t read the bill.

The tough time Mr. Plumber endured was apparently too much for him. He was scheduled to appear at a subsequent rally against EFCA in Philadelphia, but according to the SEIU, which had several organizers on the scene, he was a no-show.

7. He apparently knew better...

...than to come to Philly with that shit. I kinda wish he hadn't been a no-show. I'm sure the local news would have been quite colorful tonight.

18. I'm sorry...I just got done thowing up myslef from the image...

I'll expect legal action from those damaged by this egregious breach of human sexual imagery.

goddamn phony liar

[XemaSab]

9. Water carrier, plumber...

Just go away. x(

[Ikonoklast]

10. Please. Sam The Sham, go to Philly! Please!! I'll pay your ticket!!

Go to Philly and tell the union brothers and sisters that you are against EFCA, but have no actual idea why, except parroting what your right-wing paymasters tell you to.

Booing Santa Claus will come in second to the beatdown you'll get in the grand tradition of warm Philly welcomes.

11. I love how the article keeps referring to him as "Mr. Plumber"...

:rofl:

12. "It's all about America"

There's a nice throwaway line. He has no idea what he's talking about, knows nothing about the proposed legislation but when called on it, repeats ad nauseum "it's all about America."

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

This guy's 15 minutes should have been up five minutes after he spoke to Obama during the election.

[SpiralHawk]

13. He ain't named joe, ain't a plumber, and knows doodley-squat

A perfect Republicon Homelander, standing on the sidelines uttering verbal farts in the hope that he can out of spite make America FAIL --

[NorthernSpy]

15. Please give me your attention, I'll introduce to you...

... a man who is a credit
To our Red White & Blue.
His head is made of lumber
And solid as a rock.
He is a common worker
And his name is Mister Block.

And Block thinks he may
Be President some da-aaa-ay...


Oh Mister Block, you were born by mistake
You take the cake
You make me ache
Go tie a rock to your block and go jump in the lake
Kindly do that for Liberty's sake!


(old IWW song appropriate to Joe The Plumberer)

17. This anti-union fuck has no right to call anybody "Brother"

That's reserved for union members and those brothers and sisters who want to join. Joe the Dipshit is a brother to nobody.

[jmowreader]

19. I just love the slam against Joe in there...

"Real plumbers are for card check!"

Because, as we all know, he's not really a plumber. How much you want to bet Sam the Sham can't even run a pipe threader?
