Somebody needs to make a video game where Joe the Plumber keeps making very bad choices ...

Really? Is Obama's tax plan so bad that the McCain campaign can't afford to hire a proofreader?

Working around construction day in and day out, I know this type well. Luckily, they are the exception to the rule.

Both sides point fingers and say the same thing - thus regardless of which one is being truthful - it's not a winning strategy for McCain.

You know a campaign has lost all shame when they start citing the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. (See Hillary in April.)

The batty opinions of the Tribune-Review do not reflect those of Pittsburghers. The newspaper of record in Pittsburgh is the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Tribune-Review is to the Post-Gazette as the Washington Times is to the Washington Post.

And that, folks, is your East Coast elitist media lesson for the day.

That's more than EIGHT times as much as someone making $30,000 a year. I don't know anyone who makes that much. What is John McCain smoking if he thinks I'm going to give a crap about Joe's taxes. Fuck Joe - I want healthcare!

Palin is a liar and pals around with secessionists (and is married to one). “Joe” is unlicensed and is not a plumber. He is just another crooked contractor doing shoddy, unlicensed work – he has at least two tax liens against him. Another example of McCain’s erratic behavior and poor judgment.

And thanks, Grammar Cop, for noting that typo and getting it up there first. Rush to publish, much, Senator?
