Joe the LOLCat

Posted by on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 3:44 PM

homerjoe18.jpgIf this fucker won't go away, we'll have to mock him until he can't run for office. The frightening thing is how well these Homer Simpsonisms apply to Joe the Plumber. Good job, MGK.

(And yes, I'm posting this in the 2008 category. He is the Beast From 2008 That Won't Die.)

Eh... who cares? There's bigger fish to fry than the guy from Swing Vote.

That said, I bet we catch him with some underage tang within the next five years. Who's with me on this?

A LOLcat has to feature a cat. This is a macro. If you're going to engage with nerds, come prepared.

@2: How about a gay scandal? I'll volunteer.

It's alright, I swear-- I lived in SE Michigan, I've dealt with his kind before. I know the tactics.

we need to get a stock photo of him as absurd as the simpson's news medias photo of him with 300 cigarettes in his mouth.

Urgutha: Best. Simpsons. Quote. Evar.

Everyone else- yes... it must be kept up, the pressure must be kept on. That 'tard must be continually shown for the farce he is.

That's one very successful tactic that the R's use often, and sadly, liberals need to grow some balls and fight back a little harder, and hit the R's where it hurts. Constantly repeat the message that their selected spokesmodels are utter doofuses.

Make it so that any time his face airs on any media, any time his voice is heard anywhere, the first association anyone makes is to some image or video or photoshop of him being stupid, looking stupid, acting stupid, etc (note: I really like the idea of him getting caught with an underage hottie, but note that many, many R's idolize Ollie 'The Felon' North, despite his conviction for that drugs/guns/hostages thing.)

I would actually reverse it.

"Just because I don't understand doesn't mean I don't care."

That makes more sense for him.

Joe the plumber is a perfect symbol of the modern GOP: dumb as a stump bigot who doesn't realize everyone is laughing at him. I hope we see tons and tons more of Joe and Sarah Palin - just to remind everybody that this is the best the Republicans have to offer.
