ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Joe the Plumber, meet Ed the Dairyman.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke to a crowd of about 10,000 supporters Sunday in a Roswell airplane hangar, not only making a reference to Joe the Plumber, but alluding several times to "Ed the Dairyman" after seeing someone in the crowd holding a sign identifying himself that way.

1. wow this is getting really hokey now. n/t

[MercutioATC]

2. I just want to hear whom "Roscoe the one-eyed bum" supports.

As Roscoe goes, so goes the nation.

[haightpillsbury]

9. Roscoe!

Me? I think it's time to bring back Roscoe the Gay Steelworker from the Simpsons' John Waters episode.

Really, though, I want to know what Frank the File Clerk, Clarissa the Cashier, and Carl the Custodian are thinking right now.

[a la izquierda]

11. Best. Episode. Ever.

Well, one of them anyway.

[Ken Burch]

25. No, for the real pulse of America, you've STILL gotta go with Rocky the Flying Squirrel

[Tigress DEM]

3. Go ahead, Sarah. Piss off the rural sector. We'll take those votes.

[bkkyosemite]

4. Boy I think they are hoping for more signs with guys names on them so they have more to say cuz they

have no other material to use and nothing to say except Joe the Plumber and drill baby drill...

[tanyev]

5. 10,000 supporters! Wow, the freepers were right.

Barack is drawing Sarah Palin-sized crowds.

Ten at a time.

[UpInArms]

20. well, sarah failin just doesn't have that magnetism

[hedgehog]

6. What about Sally the Phleblotomist? There isn't a real Sally the

Phleblotomist, but I'd like to hear either McCain or Palin try to say Phleblotomist!

[blackbart99]

17. Phleb...what the hell.....

Me Too. I don't think they can.

[jmowreader]

37. I thought it was Sarah the Phlebotomist

Seeing as how Republicans are all blood-sucking leeches...

[llmart]

7. Do these two never learn?

Their "Joe the Plumber" tactic backfired on them big time and now they come up with this? I knew this broad was dumb but she's starting to make Bush look smart.

[liberalmuse]

8. Tell me this is not real. Please!

I read this earlier and thought it was satire! Sheeit.

[a la izquierda]

10. who knew?

i mean, this is 2008. who knew there were milkmen anymore, aside from the band the dead milkmen.

really, who knew?

[minnesota_liberal]

12. Distract the MSM with a new "Joe" every few days

10/15/08 - "Joe the Plumber"
10/19/08 - "Ed the Dairyman"
10/22/08 - "Hazel the Mechanic"
10/26/08 - "Bob the Baker"
10/29/08 - "Mary the Waitress"
11/02/08 - "Wayne the Trucker"

Each will be selected to illustrate an impossible scenario in which McCain's plan benefits them more than Obama's. None will be properly vetted. All will be Googled by reporters. Most will be discovered to have skeletons in their closet. Each time, McCain and Palin will act surprised that anyone looked into their pasts and will blame Obama. All of the idiots who already support McCain/Palin will drink the Kool-Aid but most people with normal or above average intelligence will see through it.

You forgot Rosie the Riveter.

[riverwalker]

15. remember the Old Maid cards when we were kids?

with Freddy the Farmer, and such. Their campaign is sounding like a game of Old Maid. Except the losing card is Sarah the Fascist.

[Liberal Veteran]

16. It's gonna be like a rightwing version of the Village People.

[Eric J in MN]

24. LOL. NT

45. LOL! Good one.

[kurt_cagle]

18. I'm still waiting for Bob the Builder.

Come on, give this whole other cast of characters, Bob's got to be around here somewhere.

[Buns_of_Fire]

38. Sorry, Bob the Builder won't be included. Remember the theme song?

Bob the Builder (Can we build it?)
Bob the Builder (YES WE CAN!)

(Amazing. 57 years old, can't remember my own phone number, and I can remember the "Bob the Builder" theme. Would anybody like to hear the entire "Super Chicken" theme? )

[depakid]

19. From someone who couldn't even run a creamery

except into the ground, that's rich....

[dipsydoodle]

21. Is this some kind of

I'm still lactating joke ?

[puebloknot]

22. Well, she forgot where she was. Mamu the Downed UFO Pilot ...

... tried to get her attention, but she doesn't do short, gray guys.

My uncle lives in Roswell, and he knows that the truth is out there!!!! I can imagine that he was (alas) in the crowd, with a "Norman the Old Guy" sign, but Sarah doesn't do old guys, either.

But I have a hunch she *does* do guys!

[Lithos]

23. ROFLMAO

It was the Republican push for large agribusinesses which destroyed the family farmer. What hypocrisy.

L-

[gauguin57]

26. And what about Toad the Wet Sprocket?

Give the Toad some love.

[Crowman1979]

46. You know "Something's always wrong" with the McFailin campaign. LOL

[olddad56]

27. where is Leroy the pimp. he makes over $250,000 and pays no taxes.

[watanabe]

30. HAHAHAHAHAHA good one....

[kentauros]

28. They can't leave out Zippy

the Pinhead

[jeepnstein]

52. Gabba Gabba Hey!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

29. I'm still waiting to hear from Bill the Cross-dressing Civil War Reenactment Actor

I hear Obama's tax plan will be fairly harsh to him

[radfringe]

31. yes it's getting ridiculous... so let's add a few more

Flintstone the Quarryman
Spongebob the Burger-flipper

and For those concerned about Wildlife:
Bugs the Bunny
Daffy the Duck

[GalleryGod]

33. Sister Sarah's Traveling Salvation Show...

Is "Hustler" magazine still around?
So Sarah and Taaaaad can get some extra post-election $$$$'s ?

[muriel_volestrangler]

34. I've worked it out! It's all characters from the BBC radio soap "The Archers"

we have Ed the Dairyman; previously we've had Joe the handyman; we also have the pregnant teenager (a new plot line, so they haven't updated the web bio yet); the elderly man sliding into dementia; and the evil speculator obsessed with money (they stand in for the rest of the Republican party).

I can't fit Palin into the cast, though. She'd be far too ridiculous to appear in a soap opera.

[Buns_of_Fire]

36. Tsk. She forgot to mention "Officer Friendly."

Or "Officer Judy," if you're a Smothers Brothers fan.

[mainer]

39. Well, my relative "The dairyman" is voting for Obama

And he has a 300-cow dairy.

[VWolf]

40. Any word on Smokey the Bear?

I'm not voting until he gives his endorsement

[trof]

41. And what about Hazel, the maid?

[kurtyboy]

42. I wonder if she'll ever mention

Juan the day laborer
Kosuke the night auditor
Meskeerem the mail clerk
Tonisha the grocery clerk
Shaffei the cab driver
Villi the ditchdigger

etc.

Or do they all have to be white males to qualify as working-class stiffs?

[yellowcanine]

43. I think Bud the Septic Hauler should demand equal time.

[Crowman1979]

47. The Rethugs only like the working people who bust up unions and cause division in the workplace.

I'm "Jeff the Teamster" and I approve that message!


OBAMA 08'!

[mitchum]

48. How about "Dick the War Profiteer"?

[seasat]

49. Now she's getting really cheesey.

She knows they're going to get creamed. However, there is no need to cry over spilled milk. Though her image has curdled, she'll still be able to milk the Repub talking heads circuit for a while. Though, I expect as her popularity will fades, demand for her on their shows will drop in favor of the usual pundits. I mean, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.

[tylerdee]

50. agreed.

[denverbill]

51. Hey, don't forget about Paris the Socialite and Dick the investment bank CEO.

Their taxes will definitely be going up.
