Joe the Backstabber

The GOP's Cindy Sheehan strikes again:

Joe the Plumber, tells TIME he's so outraged by GOP overspending, he's quitting the party

Like Sheehan, he may have been a bold voice once, but now he's all ego and self-righteousness. Hopefully, he'll keep stabbing the Republicans in the back for years to come.

Then Why Do Republicans Worry so Much about Homeland Security?

Joe the Plumber has finally put his finger on why no Christians have ever been killed by war or terrorism. When asked if he was concerned for his own safety while pretending to be a “war correspondent” in Israel, he said:

"Being a Christian I'm pretty well protected by God, I believe."

So all those soldiers killed in Iraq? Not real Christians apparently. No Christians in those planes on 9/11 either. And don’t get me started on those heathens in the buildings.

Luke 4:12

The Next Cindy Sheehan?

I remember the early days of Cindy Sheehan, when Democrats were happy to hand her a microphone so she could harass President Bush outside his Crawford Ranch about the Iraq War. Gosh, that was fun.

But as soon as I heard her mention Israel, I thought, “Oh crap. Here it comes.” Since then, Cindy’s been hanging out with Hugo Chavez and threatening to run for Congress against Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi because they’re not Left-wing enough.

So I had to laugh when I saw this headline on FOXNews.com on election eve:

Joe the Plumber: Obama will bring "death to Israel"

“Here it comes,” I thought. And Joe hasn’t disappointed. From his flirtation with a country music career to grumbling about running for Congress, Joe has transformed from political symbol to pop culture diva.

And now it gets even better. Joe’s attacking John McCain, saying he felt “dirty” campaigning for the guy. Joe says McCain’s policies “appalled me, absolutely. I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.”

That’s gratitude for ya.

But Joe still loves Sarah Palin. “Palin is absolutely the real deal,” he said. Yes, she is, Joe. And I hope the Republican Party embraces the two of you as tight as it can.
