Joe the Congressman?
When will we be rid of this dumbass?


The Hill

'Joe the Plumber' Mulling Run for Congress
@ 1:29 pm by Hill Staff

Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a. "Joe the Plumber," said Friday he may consider running for Congress in 2010, challenging longtime Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) in the Toledo-area district.

"I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight," Wurzelbacher said during an appearance on the Laura Ingraham show Friday, "but, you know, I'd be up for it."

"There is a movement afoot to draft you to run for Congress," Ingraham said. "Joe, let me tell you something: you decide to run for Congress, and I'll help you with your PR, I'll help you do your ads, I mean, I'll volunteer to help you."

Ingraham's producer, Brad Feldman, said that during the break after the segment, Wurzelbacher told Ingraham that his statements today represent the first time he has acknowledged considering a bid for Congress in public.

1. Bring it on Q-ball
That district voted 58-42 in favor of Kerry in 2004, and Marcy is even more popular. She regularly wins 65-70% of the vote every two years.

5. It would be a dream come true.
I would do opposition research on him for free. I would sleep on a floor for six months to go against that guy. Do you know how much fun this could be?

Hell, I'd move to Ohio tomorrow to help Marcy Kaptur against that idiot.

9. Goes to show the mentality of Republicans
Amazing how he became a poster boy for them. Do they all avoid paying taxes and readily accept handouts while claiming to be something they aren't?
