Could Joe the Plumber become Joe the congressman?
Joe Wurzelbacher, the most famous plumber in America thanks to John McCain and Sarah Palin, told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham Friday he's considering a run for Congress in 2010.
Just what kind of qualification does a plumber who is behind in his taxes have to be a Congressman?
Oh, never mind...after all, what are qualifications to the GOP?
But Wurzelbacher, who gained fame after he challenged Barack Obama on his tax plan earlier this month, has attained a certain rock-star status in the Republican Party and his entrance into the race would likely be greeted with instant excitement and media coverage.
[Conservative talk radio host Laura] Ingraham herself said she would immediately volunteer for his campaign and help him with campaign advertising and PR. Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee said they would welcome Wurzelbacher's candidacy with "open arms.”
Nothing personal against Joe, but it's just the sort of thing the GOP goes in for...emotional tugs and "aw shucks" candidates, who (see Bush and Palin) really don't know what they are doing. Joe is a plumber, doesn't even have a college degree, has no background in any kind of office. WTF?
