Joe, the Proctological Plumbing Parable

So. I think even a long dead Aesop would have eschewed the use of small rodents to tell the story of the plumber unlicensed, tax dodging drain cleaner from Ohio, who had the simpleness of mind...the TEMERITY... to...ask a question. The truth needs no embellishment for effect. He dared ask.

Heretic. Unbeliever. Filthy untouchable.

And now? He's probably unemployed, thanks to the media's predilection for roto-rootering the assets of any infidel who questions the annointed one. Obscene as the smears against my girl are...she's running for office. Disgusting as the lies and innuendos swirling around McCain are...he's running for office. We can gnash our teeth against the hatefulness of the attacks, in the end, what we are left with is Eddie Murphy's philosophy, "You brought that shit on yoself, man!" Bless their hearts, it's the name of the revolting game and you may be surprised by the viciousness of the attack, but there's no way you can say you "didn't know it was going to be like that!"

But Joe? He's a nobody, like the rest of us schmucks. No plans other than making a living, no agenda other than hangin' in there and schmaybe reaching "comfortable" at some time in his life. Even that ordinaryness is open to a faint whiff of snark from those annointed to report:

...Wurzelbacher also acknowledged that he had no specific plans for buying Newell’s business, saying he and Newell had simply talked about the idea from time to time. He might have difficulty making the purchase: Court records from his divorce show that Wurzelbacher made $40,000 in 2006.

He doesn't have anyone to get him a million dollar mortgage for less than prime rate, or buy the lot next door and sell it to him cheap, once he can afford it.

Nah.

He just asked for a little clarification from the horse's mouth...

...and got the "inYOUendo" from Obama's media bodyguards instead.

Will the media cover Joe as he makes his way to the unemployment line? I mean, it's the least they could do, since they sent him there.

For respectfully asking a question.

We all need to share the parable of "Joe and the Questions That Should Not Be Asked" as far and wide as humanly possible.

And be very afraid.

UPDATE: CHA!

But why is it that political reporters only get curious when a conservative Joe America storms onto the scene? Why aren’t they just as curious when liberals trot out, say, a 12-year-old boy to give a national radio address?

It only gets worse!
...Mr. Wurzelbacher was playing football in his front yard with his son, Joey, on Sunday afternoon when Mr. Obama made an unscheduled stop to go door to door greeting voters and asking for their support.

DAMN!

Minding your own business. Words escape me.

What is being done to him is horrible and terrifying. It's been on the FRONT GODDAMNED PAGE of the online NY Times since this afternoon.

I guess the Times must have pulled a dozen or so reporters out of Wasilla to do the hit job on Joe.

Words fail me.

You are intended to be intimidated.

Thugs go for the throat.

Can we question their patriotism now?

Where are all those honest, crusading reporters when you need one? Guess they have all been seduced by the Obama drug. This poor man asked a perfectly logical question--what would Obama's tax plan mean to him IF he were to own a business making more than the magic number of $250,000. In other words, why should I work 10 to 12 hours every day for my entire adult life only to be penalized for success? Instead of "spreading the wealth," what's wrong with allowing people to succeed through hard work? What incentive does Obama's tax plan give anyone to work harder to earn more? Another issue that arises out of the media's relentless effort to destroy Joe is the very clear picture being painted of what happens when anyone causes "trouble" for the Obama campaign.
